just discovered that a DF world during generation can go from having two great powers left in the world to one and then back to two. thanks a lot, Id Tatmörul the dwarf necromancer

LRP that is literally insane. one of my family members is a victim of a high-profile archdiocese priest and it got swept under the rug hard even though those accusations were considered "credible". I can't imagine what other victims had to go through. because of the saints? the fucking SAINTS????

remembering this made me go down a chucky rabbithole that led to me discovering he's played by the same guy as grima wormtongue and his nonbinary half evil doll child is played by the same guy as pippin and then i passed out and had weird dreams about LotR i mostly dont remember

honorable mention and the only *intentionally* scary thing i can remember: i never saw a child's play movie as a kid but i saw a picture of chucky and it scared me so bad that my family could make me burst into tears just by saying "chucky!" at me

i was thinking of migrating to northsky, but there seems to be no way to do so without giving them my password and MFA code. do all PDS migration services work this way? kind of crazy if so

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)

A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye.  It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

LRP yeah i work for a firm that makes software for hosting content and we manage servers for our customers. for the last year or so a shit ton of our time and resources have been redirected toward bot mitigation because AI scrapers keep taking our fucking sites down. it's ridiculous

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

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.

Getting tired of untested vibecoded ports that are just buggy and because no experienced coders are around, they can't fix it? Never fear, as I have listed decomps and recomps done by actual people and it will continue expanding! If you know any, lemme know!

Nebula dropped him BECAUSE OTHER CREATORS WERE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HIM STAYING it’s not that deep bro. He had a ton of original content and other shows shot that hadn’t been released , 💰alone would dictate doing a Sheeran

Katie Schenkel, Person@katieschenkel.bsky.social · 5d ago

Also saw someone complain that Nebula dropping him was "clearly a financial obligation rather than a moral one" and like 1. That's a wild assumption to throw around and 2. Even if that's the case, what would you want them to do instead??
