We ended up having to let her go. Her pneumonia was worsening, she could barely breathe even with oxygen, and antibiotics *might* have helped i decided not to let her suffer on a crapshoot. The vet didn't charge for new xrays but we did have to pay for euthanasia, so we could still really use help.

Our other cat (not the one who was so sick a couple months ago) was dry-heaving yesterday and this morning she doesn't want breakfast. She's gotta go to the vet and we absolutely do not have budget for it. If anyone can help, paypal.me/utilitarienne

I love it when a #creative person archives their work on the Internet Archive. I began doing it years ago with my stories, and it's enriched my life. Sell your #books. Sell your #music. Sell your art, vids, etc. But also consider future generations. Add your creations to the #InternetArchive.

anyone else remember when the guy from antiflag's sex crimes came out and his entire band only took like 12 hours to reach the conclusion that the immediate and complete dissolution of their public business was the only thing to do with that information?

Happy, uh, October 5th. Bad news, no movement on this as far as I can tell but the good news, I managed to rearrange some things, score an extra couple days of work, and bring the accumulated gaps in my budget down to 470.

Hey, it's October. I've pretty quiet lately, been trying to stay afloat without doing this, but there's been deficits.

Holy shit, in all this Jacob Geller discourse I forgot that I LITERALLY MADE A VIDEO called "Processing Problematic People" as a way to help people untangle that Person You Like/d from that Thing They Did. And I made it as a way to cope with That Thing That Happened to Me. youtu.be/oFMTNZIK1sI

anyone else notice that cans of cat food have a lot more water weight than they did last year?

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

GTA 6 has received a rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

Edd Coates | Game UI Database@eddcoates.bsky.social · last wk.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

The thing about radium is that it believes in you even if you don’t believe in it. He should absolutely be stopped from peddling this horseshit to people, but if he really is drinking radium water…well he’ll be stopped one way or another.

When I worked in a small town computer store circa 2003, we called this stuff "malware," and most of our customers paid us to get it off their machines. They just remade BonzaiBuddy while telling us it's good now.

Great chance to post my all-time favorite headline

Nick Pettigrew@nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I deleted my other post calling out this headline bc this article itself reported the engine changes are implementing standard AI not Gen AI. BUT other outlets (via translation) are saying certain workflow AI changes have Gen AI elements. God this is messy lol
