A Twitch Browser Extension exposed 30,000 users' OAuth tokens to a Russian bot service. The extension promised to block Twitch ads, force 1080p, and auto-collect channel points. Users: Remove the Chrome/Firefox extension, then disconnect all sessions + reauthenticate. socket.dev/blog/malicio...

As much as it kills me (bc I love Professor Layton *so much*), I won't be playing the new game. And if you don't want AI in games, neither should you.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

They had me in the first half ngl (also I finally found out how to actually get Switch videos uploaded easily w/o having to use the SD card so I might post a few of these :P)

People lost their way when filler stopped referring to the anime episodes made to let the manga get further ahead.

There’s a type of TV viewer who thinks of any episode that doesn’t forward a main plot as “filler” and do you want to enjoy some entertainment or do you just want to cross it off your checklist? Would you get the same experience from just reading a Wikipedia summary of the season?

Twitch says quiet part out loud: Amazon AI is opt out because "nobody would opt in" aftermath.site/twitch-ai-amaz...

Artists who work with Twitch streamers should be asking their clients if they opted out of this. x.com/zachbussey/s...

Can confirm, my monthly earnings have been wildly unpredictable for a number of reasons recently, but I suspect this is a contributor. If you signed up on the iOS app, I’d encourage you to do it on a desktop browser instead.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

If you're like me And you hate the sound of this Let Twitch know 🖤 twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

you have to be your own biggest fan. you can be aware of flaws in your work and areas you can improve, but you have to love what you're creating more than a hypothetical audience ever could. you need to be able to look back at your work and say "i put in the work and made that, because i love it".

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)

Well i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information. If this happens again i will not attempt to log back in. If i dont post here again let bsky know that i prefer my privacy over this platform.

Does any body know why sometimes replies just ....... don't show up when clicking on posts??? I'll have some that say there's a reply but I can't do anything to see them ( ._.)

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

Heads up friends ‼️‼️‼️ Be SUPER SUPER careful sharing Youtube links They made a new update that anyone who clicks it starts "interacting" with you, and can expose your name if you use human info on Youtube/Google Settings -> privacy -> channel visibility for shared links

Anybody else have that experience of like Video Topic: [Poses an interesting question about a potential limitation of a game like "How many X do I need to beat [Game]?"] Which then always deflates a bit when the answer is always "Well so we use these glitches to break the game to our will :>" 😅
