Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

If the B.C. election result stings for you tonight, remember that this province once forced a majority government to back down on a tax it had just brought in. A new government still answers to the same people who hired it.

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

hooooo boy we don't like this no we don't > If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community. We cannot distinguish between AI-written and AI-translated. Since you don't speak English, you can't even verify yourself if it translated correctly. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

capcom taking down ultimateframedata is a terrible and self-destructive move. it was a community resource used by people who played and loved the game. i can only hope that this will not go further and that FAT and Supercombo are safe.

well, on the one hand AI has made things significantly worse for everyone in almost every capacity that it has touched. But on the other hand, the dumbest guy you know can send emails nobody reads really fast now. So it's impossible to say whether it's good or not

The WWE roster are the biggest group of cowards in the world. Not a word any of the times their boss spent entire press tours talking about how much he hates AEW. Not a word when they counterprogrammed PAC's tribute show. Not a word now when their lives are in danger. COWARDS.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

At least 12 hours after airing and this is not on the homepages of the BBC or the Guardian. How is this not news??? You can understand the Telegraph or the Mail burying it on page 1488 but how are you NOT writing this up??

Literally THIS WEEK Liquid Swords filed for bankruptcy. You know, the studio founded by Christofer Sundberg, the co-founder of Avalanche Studios (Just Cause). They had enough money to make a game, it came out, and now they're done. And that was with 2020 money, not 2026 money.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

if you don't support the good movies made for thinking grown ups, especially the labor of love restorations of forgotten masterpieces like this, you forfeit the right to complain about marvelslop

it's 2030. there is one american game job. the game is a result of the fortnite-roblox merger. they added gatchas and ads exclusively for prediction market platforms. while you work on it, jared kushner and a random c-suite with at least 3 sexual assault cases take turns yelling at you.

EA is going private under PIF and Jared Kushner's ownership. Wilson will probably make even more money while thousands of people look for work. This isn't a win for anyone except the fat cats who want us to remain angry at each other online so we don't pay attention to their strip mining.

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

AFL-CIO@aflcio.org

8% of households are going hungry. 16% of adults can’t pay all their bills in full. 26% skipped medical care due to costs. ALL while CEOs bring home 312x what workers do. Workers are stressing over every bill. We need leaders who are focused on helping us, not billionaires.
