Asking whether Caldarus has beans or not is the wrong question... the better question is if you think his dragon beans are cute!

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

I forget that posting is a thing, so I'm gonna correct that Have a sketch from just before v1.0 dropped for #FieldsOfMistria ! My catgirl Ari (she/they) and her dragon husband Caldarus 🌸

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

To nobodies surprise, I married Caldarus, and we have a little bean now

We don't do biphobia here. It's 2026 and if you can't handle seeing fictional (or real, but I'm specifically addressing fandom here) m/f relationships without feeling personally attacked by it, you're not mature enough to be in fandom in the first place and you should leave. Immediately.

If you are canadian, you need to contact your MP and demand Bill C-22 be opposed as it would give the government a backdoor into every chat app

Canadians, one of the most important things you can do is send a letter to your MP about this. This would be the end of privacy for Canadians: dontsurveil.me/c22.html

Annoy the living daylights out of both payment processors and your local government. Never let them know peace while they are disturbing yours.

This person is absolutely using AI and just tracing over it for commissions. They removed the left image from their vgen at this point and now only have examples like this, which I think just makes it even more obvious if you take even a SECOND to look closer at it.

You probably shouldn't trust Discord with your anonymity. www.rogue.site/news/do-not-...

Do not give your ID to Discord

Current age-verification processes are dangerous to anonymity, free speech, and access to information. Period.

I started to make a document to list some alternatives for Discord that I’ll keep updating. It’s not necesserily to invite everyone to jump out but it’s good to know that they exist. write.ellipsus.com/edit/5c78554... Keep bothering Discord and inform yourselves.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

Discord distances itself from age verification firm after ties to Palantir's Peter Thiel surface https://kotaku.com/discord-palantir-peter-thiel-persona-age-verification-2000668951

Oh you mean the company funded by PETER THIEL?

"Discord is apparently switching age verification providers to Persona due to the bypasses... which means everything they said about it being client-side and face images not being uploaded is now false"

they can't use chatbots or auto-responses to deal with paper mail. they can throw it away, but it can still be a problem. you can buy single stamps at your local post office. 😎 source for address/phone number is discord's own site: discord.com/company-info...

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Hit the 30k unique downloads milestone on Nexusmods this week, and realized I haven't really been sharing my stuff here... oops So have some of the previews I've made for my #Fields_of_Mistria mods! #pixel_art

wishing a very "resist twitter withdrawal and use this chance to heal and learn healthier socmed habits" to everyone (re)joining bsky

It's crazy how many games on Steam I'm having to ignore because the dev made the whole game without gen AI, and then decided to shoot themself in the foot at the last minute by using it to make store page assets. There is something deeply wrong with some people.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Canadians – If you have some time this long weekend, fill out this godawful government survey on AI, which itself seems to have been written by AI trained exclusively on buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.

Nico Mara-McKay 🦇 (they/iel)@nicomaramckay.com · 11mo ago

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

DO NOT go back to twitter that is the hitler site. i am dead serious with this shit. its main role as a de-facto organ of the trump admin is to facilitate nazi propaganda. you cannot be posting your doodles on the "euthanize all trans people" forum just because they still allow pornography

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.
