well if there's one thing we've learned from what happened on X, it's that lots of nonces and the people who enabled them will be in very hot water shortly *puts hand to earpiece* ah. well. nevertheless,

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

i've played (and even written about) a lot of hacking games down the years and i tell you what, i really appreciate when a hacking game doesn't just look like a bunch of regular computer terminals and three fake IM messengers

brand new day was fantastic. ticked every "please be good" box. makes me wonder how many other recent marvel films would've knocked it out of the park, if each entry wasn't just a set up for watching ten other never-ending stories

This simply isn’t true - there are plenty of tools to make social media images that social media managers with no budget have been using for years

Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · yesterday

Much of what is said about economics is little better than gaslighting.... I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterday

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

releasing a game where one of its most important components is talking with other players, and then not having separate volume sliders for game audio and voice, seems like a mistake

It’s hilarious to me that dudes are like “I need to be roided out and 6’3’’ for women to want me” when in my experience most women want to fuck astarion baldur’s gate or that Tim Curry oil slick guy from fern gully

This is ridiculous. Editing for length is fine (though I think anyone who does that should also give buyers a download code for hi-res versions of what's missing) but "we hadn't actually finished making the record so the vinyl is sloppy rough mixes missing important parts" is outrageous.

Really fascinating the sort of person who chastises people for celebrating when a ghoul dies but is utterly silent when said ghoul is spreading hatred and lies during their life. Guess that's not scientific of me.

madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 2d ago

A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person

oh no, people are asking me if i'm at black hat. might just say yes and send them to imaginary booths

Counterpoint: I think we’re obligated to loudly condemn racist, bigoted, hateful men that beat women and speak about their desire to molest children, especially when they became wealthy sharing these hateful views so widely, and are praised by the British press and political elites. Your response?

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
