Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

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.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Find my No Touchy (and any other hat I've got) here! I also do custom, + happy to take suggestions for other hats in my shop. Remember, sales of No Touchy hats also come with a free bonus goody, to say thanks for supporting a blind artist's pet design. wheremy-hatis-at.square.site/product/-no-...

On the last day of Disability Pride Month, here's a reminder that us disabled folk need support all year, not just in July. For this, $5 of every sale in Aug. of my "No Touchy" braille hats will go to NOAH, and $1 of any other hat too. 1/2 albinism.org

Each day, @wai-a-day.yatil.net shares a different resource from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Sometimes, the resources are more technical. Sometimes they are broader. They should be on the radar for everyone pursuing a more accessible web.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

I’m doing chaos draft tonight and the person sitting next to me says I have 6/7 typal. I told him to leave :D

For everyone impacted today by the DF layoffs- I feel for you. Times are rough and I hope you land on your feet quickly. Anyone would be lucky to have you.

mass layoffs at Pixar despite Toy Story 5 about to cross $1 billion at the box office. there is simply no amount of money that will make corporations happy enough to not upend people’s lives.

Working on some more deck boxes! Yshtola and Ardbert- I’ll finish tomorrow or this weekend but here’s some progress!

It took a long time to figure out the specifics to make a perfect patch, but I’ve done it! These 4 inch sew on patches will be $15 + shipping in my shop, with new designs soon! I can also make custom designs.

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".

My best advice for any game devs recently laid off is to keep in touch with your closest coworker friends, do a group call at least once a week, share job postings in the chat, hype each other up, and just generally look out for each other.

Can we finally acknowledge that we're in an honest-to-god class war and start treating our politicians, bosses, companies, and celebrities accordingly? Endless waves of layoffs and ballooning prices justified by AI spend that nobody wants can't possibly be sustainable. Everything is dogshit now, man
