I get the flex from people that have never used AI, believe me. But I think it's equally powerful that I used pretty much all of these tools to learn how they work and see what they do for myself, I stopped using them because they are not very useful and I wouldn't care if they disappeared at all.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

loved the time I spent with Big Walk but these local voice games are brutal for those of us with hearing loss in one ear. If @househouse.com is listening I would love an option for audio to still be distance-based but have mono output so i don't have to angle my in-game head like i do in real life.

All this while Starbucks pays big money to convince us we don't need unions btw

I voated for library

i cannot get over how funny the moderation tag on this is

"Prudery is the enemy of art" - Soviet poster, 1980s

we can quibble about the 'whys' all day but it is genuinely heartening to see Chinese policy actually giving us a path out of an oil/petrodollar global hegemony, primarily for climate reasons but for so many others too.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Needed to replace broken headphones and the ones I want are $60 off... only if I buy a Charli XCX CD I don't want for $8. I guess it's brat summer for me

Have you ever noticed that anytime a men's haircut other than the Politician or the Hank Hill gets popular the entire internet mocks it ruthlessly?

Oh no! I make monthly recurring donations to Wikipedia — going to write to them to say I'm not comfortable donating to an organization engaging in union-busting. (Reposting with alt text)

"a short glass of dumb bitch" 🏳️‍🌈🐱🤖🏳️‍⚧️ ➡️ 🇫🇷@spamcan.bsky.social · 5d ago

The WMF hiring a famous union-busting firm while refusing to recognise the union is certainly a choice. And a monumental waste and reappropriation of money largely sourced by donations provided by the public in good faith that they thought would go to benefit the actual work.

I mean yeah, this could work on me maybe

Beijing argued popping property bubble wld help fertility crisis. How? In China, "main reasons for not wanting to have kids were... very high housing costs & the expense of raising kids" "Huge income-to-debt ratio said to be ‘most effective contraceptive’ for millennials" Fertile & Broke, same 🌎

No offense but this is what every evangelist in history has said about various technologies that then went on to exclusively squeeze the human workforce.

Luke Dicken@luked.bsky.social · 7d ago

"Studios that realize the real goal shouldn't be to squeeze the human workforce but instead to harness technology to amplify that workforce's creative reach... those are going to be the ones that define the next decade of play." Read the whole article @ 80.lv - 80.lv/articles/gam...

I have been having a very emotional time reading through Stone Butch Blues. One of many major reflections is how deeply the characters hurt each other and are angry at each other, but how their community incentivizes forgiveness (or at least burying the hatchet) and not infinite grudges/isolation

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

The silence on Washington's looting of Venezuela from other Western capitals is really deafening. Imagine what that stolen $13 billion could do for Venezuelans after the earthquake destroyed their country.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · last mo.

To every New Yorker with family in Venezuela: we are holding you close.   The devastating earthquakes this week have claimed hundreds of lives and left thousands more searching for loved ones. If you're able, here's how you can support relief efforts:

Good talk worth reading, and I would go even further: all of "design" as a field of practice has gradually compressed into a rhetoric that subordinates creative meaning to the frictionless satisaaficing of users. Luckily this smooth vision is pepetually at odds with the unfathomable horrors of play

Hylics... 2!!!!

cops in madison wisconsin just shot an unarmed man who was already on the ground with three officers on him, they shot him three times in the head at nearly point blank range. this was not ICE, this was local PD. defund and abolish the police. black lives still fucking matter.

saw someone on here go from 'ai skeptical' to diehard ai evangelist to crying that people were bigots for saying he shouldn't use ai all in about 2 weeks, that's got to be an any% record.

Any Democrat who votes to fund genocide is on notice.
