TERFs are disgusting bigoted pieces of trash and insufferable whiny busybodies. nobody likes them except deranged Twitterbrained racists yet they own the entire British media and law system because one petty mediocre writer has infinite money to spend on her pet obsession with kids’ private parts.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Programming with AI assistance seems to be a bit like driving in that everyone doing it thinks they're the only one doing it safely

A reminder for those at the back.

IDK what we're supposed to do on this coming out day thing, but I guess technically I did go outside today to buy some milk so... mission accomplished?

Less data centres in the world and less bots promoting hate groups? Great work Ukraine.

so we've gone from people announcing "difficult decisions" to promising them, how long do you think it'll be before they just admit they're celebrating them? revelling in them.

The EU Kids Act will make private servers illegal as it stands now. Read up on the Act yourself: hub.edri.org/index.php/s/... Contact your MEPs, tell them to scuttle this bill, and sign the Stop Killing Internet Initiative to ensure the protection of our digital spaces: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public

in case anyone's wondering, the setting to turn off the new firefox ui that sucks is browser.nova.enabled = false.

"youtube is looking in to letting people A/B test videos" So... in other words we can't share links to youtube videos in case they weren't what we saw?

I think it's pretty neat that one of the legit breakout indie success stories this year is a game about painstakingly designing and sewing opulent ballgowns store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

Just how much of the AI ecosystem is people watching over the AI to make sure it doesn't do things it's not supposed to? Like it feels like the claims AI companies make about the abilities of the tech to automate stuff is constantly being undermined by the fact it has to be supervised.

'The work, which has not been peer reviewed'. Think that just about says it all.

Myth busting about Scotland's 'need' for data centres feat. angry moorhen (Follow us on insta at stopaidatacentres.scot)

Because they have laws that don't suck. If your country has laws that suck, remember that that is not the only option. Get involved in changing those laws, even if you can only manage something as little as voting in your next election.

It's funny how when they're fighting the Borg in TNG, the only way to bypass their shields was to change frequency and shoot rainbows at them. Even back then, our only defence against robo-fascism was the LGBTQ+ community.

I swear it almost feels like the only way to find good home media versions of anything is on DVD, VHS or Laserdisc. The moment they invented blu rays and streaming it was all over.

This was sitting in my drafts for about a week before I decided what it really needed was a bunch of links pointing to people doing the exact thing I was doing but without the mistakes I'd made that drove me to doing this instead. So... if you wanna be recommended cool stuff, scroll to the bottom.

severalfighters.net/hierarchical... An overdue continuation, going over the theory of the planet generation system we're exploring. Buckle in for graph theory (no/yes that type of graph), plate tectonics, and quantum chess. #gamedev #proceduralgeneration #wavefunctioncollapse

"Our industry is being consolidated into these corporate monoliths that are run by people like Larry Ellison, a radical conservative idealogue. Make no mistake: That ideology is permeating everything under the Paramount label, which will soon include Warner unless somehow these lawsuits hold up."

I think I know how this story ends #MetroidRavenous

Star Trek: "this is a optimistic look at the future and discussion of morality through the lens of science fiction in a variety of tones" *brent spiner walks on screen playing another Soong ancestor* Star Trek: "And then there's this Young Frankenstein ass bullshit"

While it would be fun to have an update on WebUrbEx, currently that's taking a backseat to working on a small side project to a small side project that has turned into a large side project. Interested in Planetary Procgen? this will be a 3 part series at least. severalfighters.net/hierarchical...

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

Wanted to talk a second about another bit of creeping enshittification: power tools. Stay with me, it matters. Okay, so this past weekend we had a burnt-out thermostat on our water heater and I was already tapped paying some big bills this month. Full replacement was not in the cards.

The Great ADHD Myth? review: ‘This brazenly one-sided documentary is grossly irresponsible TV’

GenAI (in all forms) wrecks the concept of signal vs noise, because it raises noise to the fidelity of signal but without the meaning/quality. So we either force ourselves to sift through it (with great effort) or quickly learn to ignore it all.

Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing. Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing. Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing. Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing. Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing. Buy a cheap sketchbook and just start drawing.

You don't even need a sketchbook, printer paper will do! I still use it ;) Then hole punch and 3 ring binder that together and boom you have a book of sketches. Format matters little in this case

Just got back from watching a story about a planet suffering from climate upheaval, and its people who let a computer run their society and think for them, becoming mentally atrophied and incapable of functioning on their own. God I hope we don't end up in the Spock's Brain timeline.

so, worth turning it off even if you're just a viewer with an account?

There you have it.

If AI CEOs are working on something as dangerous as they keep on telling us it is, why haven't they been arrested yet?

At libraries around the country, "Avoiding AI" workshops have elicited unprecedented demand.

these people want US citizens to live in a bubble where they know nothing about the rest of the world. History is full of countries who proclaimed they had a divine favour, hell the US is literally celebrating the anniversary of their independence from a country with "god and my right" on its logo.

The legendary Syd Mead (1933-2019) was born 93 years ago today.

Has anyone ever built an internal combustion turntable? I feel like the overlap between music people and old car people is big enough that someone's got to have tried this even if it's probably entirely impractical, but sadly I can't find one on google.

literally this meme:
