Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

oh yeah also I made this recently and bird site seemed to like it so tossing it here too!
I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.
Even if you're just a viewer and not a streamer, tell them through metrics that you reject AI: Twitch.tv > Settings > Security and Privacy > Training for Generative AI: OFF
"Cessna N9621PA, possible pilot deviation. Got a phone number for you to call, advise ready to copy."
So, now that I've accepted the offer... They're promoting me from a rank-and-file slot technician, to the assistant slot operations shift manager. Holy shit.
Lord help me, I'm putting in an application for employment after work tonight. At the county courthouse.
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
Because of a friend, I've had Microsoft Flight Simulator 2019 redownloading overnight. ...over multiple nights. Averaging circa 240 KB/sec, while a Steam download - while this was running! - hit the 10280 KB/sec throttle point I have set.
to straddle the line between timestreams, to bend the very flow of each moment to one's whims...it takes on many visual forms. for peri, of course, it can look quite striking. thank you @otterbug.bsky.social and @avenuearcania.bsky.social for this awesome piece of my character in fisk's pf2e game!
...Welp, there goes my evening after work. New hole in my jacket that's gonna need a patch. Damnit.
Post your lockscreen! Mild cheating to remove the "set up your voicemail" prompt and the sensitive information on the screen itself. (My phone is a Cat S62 Pro.)

Fuck that. If this goes through and they start training off of streams, I'm leaving Twitch. Period. There are other places to go, Twitch is just the biggest and easiest to work with. Tell Twitch what you think about their usage of GenAI: 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.

Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts
Forest terminus. Stopped and took this on the way to work Tuesday. Sometimes you gotta stop and enjoy the little things. 📷 Nikon D3200 🗒️ 1/640 @ f/13, ISO-3200 (...for some reason, that's what the automatic ISO set.)
Ohp. Nerve in the shoulder's pinched again. Must've slept funny last night.
"Spitzer you need to build up your frustration tolerance" I just spent half an hour trying to fix a no-comm issue where the machine was ACTIVELY FIGHTING me trying to fix it, before calling it game down.
Try two, since it corrupted the images last time. Yesterday, I drew @thoril.bsky.social as a sassy Southern sister. (The target was "butch fatale", but I kinda veered off-course quite a bit...) This was the longest I've used the drawing tablet in one sitting in the past three (!) years.

...Ha. that corrupted hilariously when I went to post it. Let's try that again, shall we?
Photographer challenge: post a photo you're extremely proud of. Sometimes a shot just happens to come together. I didn't even plan for this one, it just happened.
