YES!! Cis people focused on pins and email signatures. Cis people declared "the trans tipping point" was here. Cis people decided Caitlyn Fucking Jenner is "queen of the trans." Cis people started the bathroom arguments, the sports arguments, the transition arguments. We're just trying to exist.

I'm out here sweating in the theory mines, discussing gender and race and tech, and these chucklefucks just tweet it out.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

As we prepare to enter the post scarcity, pro union, realm of Star Trek... WotC chooses to once again force a vote rather than voluntarily recognize the Union. I'm gonna need a Miles O'Brien card so I can get it signed by as much staff as I can after they win this.
Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

an interesting and, imo, important read. what does capitalism begin to consume (and/or accelerate its existing consumption of) as it exhausts material avenues for expansion? how do we (as workers, as storytellers) push back?
Around the world, people are pumping themselves full of caffeine, amphetamines, and other performance-enhancing drugs just to survive their working hours. This isn’t sustainable. www.currentaffairs.org/news/a-socie...

This is perhaps the funniest way @spice8rack.bsky.social was right, one for the books.
Excuse me wtf is this. We all know what's missing here and the obvious absence just makes it more noticeable.

I hate hate hate hate HATE that everything is aligning to lock people out of owning the basic building blocks of computing to instead favor data centers renting it back out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=78y-...

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world
HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

oh hey it's that thing I said Seriously tho print this article out and take it to your next city council meeting and ask them if they're willing to invest in air defense systems for your town too.
Need another reason to oppose AI data centers in your hometown? If the company running them has DoD contracts, they are legitimate targets of war. So is the local power and water infrastructure feeding them. So are the employees (defense contractors) working there and living in your neighborhood.
