Equifax sure loves deadnaming me despite them having photos of my ID and scans of the court order from my name change that I submitted *twice*. The credit industry as a whole is a sham, but THIS is just laughably pathetic

A lot of what's kept me from doing more with code is not having a damn clue where to find the resources I need. I'm self-taught in every respect, and my learning has been driven by necessity over the years. I simply don't know if I'm following good design or using modern techniques :/

Assuming any of this is real, I will burn my stream to the ground and bury the ashes if they want to start feeding my streams to the Gen AI machine. I'll stream somewhere else. Nowhere. I don't care. I'll go outside and setup a projector or something. I'm so fucking sick of this. No one wants this.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Say, for instance, I were to take a 40-hour train ride into Seattle in January for a week or two and wanted to see some folks while """working from home"""...

Burnout hitting very hard after my brief SGDQ reprieve from inhumane work hours. I've got extracurricular things I need to lock in for due in a few weeks, but otherwise need some space to accommodate my needs and try to come up with a modest action plan for the next 6 weeks.
