SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

Very good writeup about why vibecoding will never work long term. In trying to work out how to articulate my own thoughts I keep coming back to the simple statement that some friction is good, actually

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

The AP discord mods are fucking clowns. Someone is politely asking in different threads if the apworld uses AI, techbros start being super weird about it, and the mods give a spam warning to the polite person??? They are the embodiment of "complaining about bad thing is worse than bad thing"

This post is unavailable.

It is extremely telling how when we were discussing a forced AI disclosure the mods were so terrified of some hypothetical AI witch hunting group that would attack AI users, and now when people are politely asking about it the AIbros AND the mods are the ones attacking people

I have not posted a single time about ai on this site and I still got hit with the block, you can tell that anti-ai blocklist is full of shit. Must've been generated with ai

Currently I am in a financial emergency: During a move my car was broken into (twice) losing 95% of everything I own Essentially now I have no money and need to raise hundreds in order to have a place to sleep. If you or anyone you know would be willing to offer aid, my Venmo is @CovertMuffin

There's a number of things I don't like about Silksong (and many more I do) but shards seem like the most indefensible one. It's like "Oh sorry, you've hit your fun limit. Please go do your chores before you're allowed to have fun again." My guy I'm playing a video game

Yeah bro, if there's 1 thing trans people are in danger of right now, it's being CODDLED. Archipelago is a cool project but god their discord and its mods are a steaming pile of shit

I sent in a mod contact calling for this mod to step down, specifically focusing on how they treat people here, since I know if I say "trans" they'll just brush it off as political. Excited for it to still be dismissed without comment

This mod did not step down, though a different mod quit the server entirely. Surely that's unrelated. I send them a much longer message this time about how their "no politics" attitude is screwing marginalized groups. Awaiting their dumb enlightened centrist pushback

Today my brain was like "hey you should stream getting 100% in every Yakuza game" like hell no who has the time for that?? Terrible idea, and yet the desire persists

Playing the new Dragon Age and it's fun so far! Can't believe it's been 10 years since the last one, feels like I just played it yesterday. Probably because I played it like 2 weeks ago

You are up to date.
