Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

when artists said this in 2022 they were laughing at us, so 🤷‍♀️ (but realtalk, I'm glad more people are waking up to it now)

“How would itch feasibly ban and remove all the AI games? It would take so much time and effort” Idk they didn’t have much trouble delisting games based on a specific set of parameters last year now did they

Every time AO3 goes down we rehash the conversation about people complaining about not being able to read while also not engaging with what they're reading. This is going to be a much, MUCH longer outage. Do you miss it? Yes? That's because of the writers, and the love that goes into the writing.

Woke up to the US government running my fanart through AI and posting it. Obviously I completely disavow this, and did not consent to it.

PLEASE JUST OPEN A BROWSER AND USE PATREON ON THE BROWSER. THE APP SUCKS SHIT ANYWAY.

FYI Apple is now taking a huge 30% cut if you donate to someone's Patreon via Apple's IOS App. AND they sit on the funds for 75 days-- over 2 months!-- making interest while creators watch their bank accounts wither to nothing. Yet again Big Tech fucks creators. Do NOT use the Apple IOS APP.

#OSTober Day 28 The best thing about this theme is that it’s a culmination of multiple boss and character themes heard across the game- up to and including the player characters’ themes when the tide starts turning in your favor. A true climax to your adventure. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pRFg...

If you want more Mass Effect, but your idea of that is "give it to literally any studio", what you're asking for is slop and pandering, not more Mass Effect. You can't just divorce it from its creators and expect to get more.

I feel I’m getting spoiled this year with all these cool indie animations coming out. That’s not a complaint, just an observation.

‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Ah, yes, it is that time to remind folks that NaNoWriMo sold out to predatory vanity press in 2022, and then to AI in 2024, and then collapsed in 2025, and has since risen like a sketchy phoenix looking to steal aspiring authors' work.

So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

I’m so happy that these were released and Eric was able to experience their massive success.

God....these films is going to hurt now rewatching

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

#OSTober Day 25 There's a reason this track is called "Lost Verdania." You can visit it only in memory, for the real place is long gone. And once your business is concluded, it fades away again, like a wistful dream. This track conveys all of that emotion and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq_p...
