My work contract of 7 years is going to be terminated today and I'm still in the application process for Federal Educational Support, which is below minimum wage. Anything via Throne or Ko-Fi helps.

On one hand, Etsy is "banning" AI and bot posts. You will have to upload a photo you took of your handmade item. On the other hand, apparently starting in December, they will be using those photos to train AI. Etsy has sucked balls for years. It started with dropshipped garbage. It's now AI trash.

Update for y'all: My doggy's vet visit went well! Her vet said she was very lucky to recover as quickly as she did, that Acute Hemorrhagic Diarrhea Syndrome typically takes multiple days in hospital to recover from. She'll be on prescription probiotics and rice and chicken for the next week-ish!

I went ahead and deleted my Ko-Fi goal post because people kept reposting it (thank you! ๐Ÿ’–) but my goal was met and I didn't want to take eyes away from others who still need help. Thank y'all again so much for the help and I'll keep y'all updated on how the vet visit goes tomorrow! ๐Ÿ’•

i'm just gonna be real with you if you're like, comfy + everything is fine if you're not taking care of someone Disabled/elderly if you somehow have $ to party whenever you want if you're at bars/vacay each week/month/quarter you need to check on the others ask them what they need and go help them

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as โ€œheadcanon.โ€ When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it โ€œobnoxiousโ€ and โ€œcringe.โ€ They just donโ€™t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they donโ€™t want us to exist at all.

I am so sorry to say, but unfortunately I have found out that the game I was featuring on stream, Microscape, was coded using genAI. I didn't do my due diligence researching it before playing it and I take full responsibility for that. I will strive to do better in the future ๐Ÿ’–

A screenshot of a Discord post from the developer of Microscape. It reads "Im tempted to just remove the itch disclaimer, people might get the wrong idea. 

First, the majority of the game core was created before AI, so I guess I would be offended if anyone assumed it's vibe coded (not that anyone has made such an accusation... yet)

That said of course I use tools available to code faster. I have like 15 years of experience so I'm confident reviewing code and debugging things myself.

Art is a whole other topic. At the moment there's no plans to use AI to directly generate assets. Art is either done by me or by longtime artists whose assets I've purchased. I would say the only realistic AI involved might be as reference but I haven't had much need for that at such low resolutions."

I cannot stress enough that following your favourite creators for free on their paid services (Patreon, Kofi, vgen too probably??, etc) will give you a way to find your favs when (not if, when) social media implodes You don't have to check up on it, but you'll be so happy if sites shutter overnight

Whoever uses IG a lot I still encourage you to follow my backup, and for anyone to consider following me on Patreon as a free member. You pay nothing, and I don't have a lot to offer to free members, but it will function like a newsletter so that we won't lose each other over socmed being petty.
