The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

🎲✂️ PSA: Remember to store backups of your files.

I just got a quote from a data restoration service that it's gonna cost me around half a thousand for a ~40% chance to get my data back, so now I have to weigh between shelling out for it or just starting everything over from scratch.

Kodak Easyshare DX4530. Picked this up recently from a thrift store for $20. Played around with it a bit today and it's kinda finnicky and difficult to use but the photos look great. I see the obsession with Kodak Color Science now. #photography #digicam

Saw an owl for the first time, perched inside the courtyard at my place. I will consider it as an omen for good things to come.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

No matter how insulting my words, I cannot express the full scale of my disgust for the gaggle of incompetent wishful thinkers who have dedicated themselves to the ruin of an entire medium by way of their horrific leadership.

It is a comprehensive disgust. A disgust of overwhelming depth.

It’s endlessly frustrating to see some of the dumbest motherfuckers alive in charge of the industry. Utter fantasists who invest in a new Springfield Monorail every day and lay off hundreds of people to pay for their stupidity.

For a bunch of con artists, game execs are such fucking marks.

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans.

They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time they’re convinced they’ve invested in a divine cure-all.

They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

if you're still using it don't log into twitter using oldtweetdeck because they're suspending people for it

Just got my Twitter account suspended out of nowhere. Everything's just going wrong today huh.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

I'm going insane. I keep getting juggled by things around the house breaking that are costly and time-consuming to replace/repair, and now this.

Think I lost the hard drive with all my game design files on it. I don't remember the last time I backed it up.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Won a working HP Photosmart 435 from a contest with a compatible SD card(!!). Just arrived so this is just a random test shot but the grain looks sooooooo good. Probably gonna have to stock up on alkalines though because the rechargeable AAs aren't playing nice with it.

- Democrats must make the Hard Choices to support candidates who can win, even if they have some Republican positions
- OK but what about this Mamdani fellow who is winning without Republican positions
- No! We must make the Hard Choices!!
The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

i wish people would be substantially more careful with their choice to dismiss art/games they don't like as "not art / not a game"

Two candidates that NYC *already* experienced and deemed *both* to be unfit. These men had their chance and failed. The fact that they’re still on the ballot is public money laundering.
If Democrats had it their way, we would've ignored Mamdani and let this be a race between Adams and Cuomo.

Two candidates that have "experience" and establishment support, and were promising to give us NOTHING but more awfulness.

I missed this until today but want to share it because it’s great.

I’ve been increasingly conscious of anti-AI witch hunting, as well as the conflations and equivalences tarring legitimate creative tech with the same brush. It’s gonna hurt the fight against Regurgitative AI.

Reel that shit in.
My latest video is live!

I explore allegations of AI use in the concept art of Elden Ring. But it's really a jumping off point to complain about people "hating AI" in very dumb ways that are hypocritically, anti-artist.

No, the Elden Ring Concept Art wasn't made with AI:
