I remember when people were lining up to financially support Bluesky if given the option, because we had so much more good will for the platform. The response to this shows that that good will has pretty much completely depleted.

This can't have been an easy decision for House House to make, well done to them. By chance, I read this news just as I was watching an interview with Humza Yousaf in which he speaks about the need for those with public profile, platform & security to use them for Palestine.

Eisenkot, the most likely alternative to Netanyahu for the next head of government in Israel, says yesterday that "two states for two peoples is a mistake" and that "Ben Gvir probably did some good things in the prisons". He also said he would not coalition with any of the Palestinian parties.
At least this house managed to trap their giant skeleton so all it can do is look at us

Dating apps are so shit it's crazy. Don't like someone after we showed you them the third or forth time? How about a fifth? And no one's gonna reply. If you get matches at all. Pay for premium? Somehow it works less and you spend more time on it. Great way to kill time though, kill it dead
But the payoff will totally be worth it, right? It's not all downside? There's something that makes all of these threats worthwhile?

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint
The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students
Maricarmen - the 87-year old woman whose eviction from her Madrid flat for not paying rent that had been bumped up to three times more than she was paying previously after the building was allegedly purchased by a vulture fund sparked the occupation of the Puerta del Sol - has died in hospital.

It's always refreshing to stumble upon a strong and unfamiliar artistic style in a TTRPG. I interviewed Gwen Clark about her upcoming Panic Engine symbiote black ops horror game, SOPHONT. www.patreon.com/worldsbywatt...

AI Is Creating "Doom Loops" All Over the Economy
The AI industry is creating "doom loops" across the economy with products that undermine the economic incentive to create cultural content.

"But what about Dolly Parton?" She GAVE AWAY any money that could have made her a billionaire. She still made enough to be a billionaire if she had that mindset... but she wanted to help people. Thats why there are no good billionaires. Full stop.
🎃 Zack o' Lantern 🎃@zackdavisson.com · 2w agoThe posts where I most want to slap people are the ones saying "Well if I had Jeff Bezos money I would use that money to help... " WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE THAT THE MENTALITY REQUIRED TO BECOME A BILLIONAIRE PRECLUDES THE MENTALTY OF WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE?!!! Stop asking "Why?" You know why.
This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead
