I'm convinced that the reason for routine firings in the video games industry is not about improving the balance sheet for investors, rather suppressing wages and by extension the organisation necessary for unions. As a class, studio owners want a precarious labour market to keep wages down.

Every time I file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown request, I can't help but forget the "A" on the end of the abbreviation, and my brain helpfully cries "DMC TAKEDOWN!"

For anyone who doesn't know, the cost to re-register .com addresses is going up by a dollar a year on November first; if you can afford to, you can save money in future by renewing your registration now. Also, do a search for "[dns provider you use] renewal promo code" first. I just saved 25%.

Sending DMCAs through Cloudflare then later following up with the hosting provider to get them enforced when the infringing party inevitably ignores them is tedious, but I do take pleasure in seeing the websites go offline because their provider doesn't want the legal liability to pass to them.

ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Genuinely think a lot of these guys are a bot operation meant to try to discourage criticism through tedium.

I am LJ witch of the; Yeah, I have predictive text switched off.

Right. Into. My. Veins.

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...

One day...

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with ham to see.

"Today is a good day for someone else to die," by Pratchett finally became canon in Star Trek.

This isn't quite true. The issue is it creates huge background noise that new talent needs to find a way to rise above if they're to have a chance. Industry looks fine on the surface, but I'm concerned about prospects for new authors longer term.

Walking Simulator (Derogatory) versus Walking Simulator (Laudatory)

I played the original Civ once, and in late game found a primitive civilization stuck on a tundra island with no development due to lack of resources. I was their first contact, gave me a real existential moment... Later, while they were still bronze age, India nuked them.

I kinda respect the grift behind the new Tesla stuff. What future was promised us? Flying cars. What does Elon do (apart from all the crimes)? Rockets and EVs. Mash those together, pretend you have a flying car, juice the stock one last time before it all tumbles.

Listening to Kierkegaard's 'Fear and Trembling,' as an audiobook while I do some essentials, and friends, my brain is *so* poisoned by shitposts: I heard the line "And only one who works gets bread," and it wasn't *food* that leapt to mind...

Jaysus, the data centre bots dropping really did happen huh Usually when a post of mine does well on Threads, the usual suspects show up with prostate jokes and mean comments etc Not one. Not a single hateful comment since posting yesterday. Remember that when they come back. They're not real people

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

A reminder. I’m not kidding when I say if you are still a little bitch who can’t give up twitter - fuck you. Like really. Fuck you, you selfish piece of shit. Musk has spent almost $400m on this election alone spreading hate and fear and you fuckers are like - this might work out… fuck you.

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

Market fit.

You know what union members famously love? Being condescended to by leadership, especially when it's to justify the leadership selling them out. Join the IWW.

I have never seen one man make so much content out of his cuckolding fetish and be so outrageously successful.

He's with the Angles now

Scabs.
