In the end, to me personally at least, the primary means of resisting LLM-generated works is to walk away from "retro as content" and go all in on "retro as community"; inexperienced vibe coders struggle to discuss their work in depth without revealing their use. Just like Suno-using music prompters

I'm currently the only one of 3 disabled trans people in my household who can work, but 16 months of being bedridden and chronic migraines have left us very broke, and we're helping my sister move cross-country now. If you can send a few dollars, that'd be very appreciated! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Internet friends from abroad Meta is known for interfering in many places and we in Brazil are having to fight Mark's Influence Machine that wants us to vote for a candidate that doesn't respect our country's sovereignty (and an alleged criminal) We're doing our best, but pressure Meta as you can
"Meta is interfering in Brazil’s elections in plain sight—boosting Bolsonaro and suppressing Lula content."

A demo for Sonic 3 Unlocked is now available. Read about it on my GitHub page, where you can also find the download link from the SHC 2026 website. github.com/liliambean/s...

You might have seen the original "no genAI seal" by @kanaratron.bsky.social. I've made the icon into a set of assets in both PNG and vector formats that can be more widely used in different contexts. You can find them here: www.joramwolters.com/no-gen-ai-ico/

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.
Lot of bigots showing up. Remember, don't interact. Just report and block block block.

i feel a point we're missing in all these people going "oh ai is terrible and bad and you shouldn't use it but /i/ still wanna use it and will" is that this is a white viewpoint

"i know all the theory of why this is bad but this will never actually affect me so i'm doing it anyway and crying about how torn up i am". go to the philippines and say that straight-faced to the person forced to live 4 feet from the datacentre that churned out all your code that doesn't work

a programming teacher of mine once said the reason adults are harder to teach than kids is because adults want it to be perfect, the way they've seen it before, in their heads, and kids don't really know or care, they just wanna try you learn by doing, a lot of adults are afraid of doing
The mistake I’ve made a lot as a visual artist is wanting the sketch to be as perfect as the final piece. It was a pretty debilitating hang up until I realized it’s necessary to have a project evolve rather than having a fully baked piece from the start. That friction also makes it a lot more fun.

This seems highly contingent on the next two election cycle outcomes and could be interpreted today as market manipulation. x.com/elonmusk/sta...

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️

I've run academic studies in the past and its suspect just from what I can see: 1. "senior studio leaders" doesn't mean "people making games" 2. Changing how you report numbers like this is a common obfuscation trick 3. 100 is not a good sample, likely biased by an ex-PlayStation exec running it.

Kenney’s op rang out like a church bell for the billionaire imps. More than AI use, he correctly points out that Musk and Sweeney don’t actually *make* anything. The ruling class only takes like helpless babies, so pointing out this master/slave dynamic triggers an existential threat to their egos
Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Again too tired to do much but Rawan keeps tabs on how much she gets. She’s still 950 out from her full goal which she would ideally have by end of year. I’m hoping to do more bjt I need your help. Please help me help her
You know who hasn't recieved anything? Rawan! She's her family's primary breadwinner and is trying to get the license to use her degree. 1600 dollars is so much for someone her age to be earning right now! chuffed.org/project/1486...

Ignoring that the quoted dev here is also using AI in their development, I have been looking into this piece for a couple of months and editors (and Valve) are thus far uninterested. But, if you do want to hit me up with similar issues, I’m still on it.
How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Sharing this because Casey is such a boon to the indie games community and a genuine champion to smaller devs and projects, please consider giving a hand if you can!
Hey folks, this year has been rough for both me and my partner, and I'll sometimes link my Ko-fi to try make up for shortfalls in my income in streaming, especially as bills have been particularly bad lately, but tonight I'd like to ask if your help with my partner's cost of living. Thank you. ♥️
