Am I getting this right? Bluesky put in a "live on Twitch"-feature for a hand full of users instead of an edit button, accessibility or moderation features for everyone?
How much did Amazon pay them for that?

Artificial Intellligence as a breeding ground for male entitlement and supremacy.
This is no less than MaaS - Misogyny as a Service.

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Of the 60ish games shown at TGA, the full list that have some kind of accessibility info is.. Invincible VS, Nioh 3, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Phantom Blade 0, Tankrat, 007 First Light, 2XKO.
#Gamedev, that's just not good enough. How can someone get hyped without knowing if they can play?

I've watched the Control Resonant trailer an unhealthy amount of times today and I can't wait to play this.
The OG Control felt like someone looked into my brain and made a game just for me, so this will be a rare pre-order for me. ❤️

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

I waited years for the announcement of a new Tomb Raider and tried to figure out all morning why this one feels so uninteresting.
This version of Lara is PEAK uncanny valley. After loving the Reboot Lara, my brain goes "thanks, I hate it."
Plus, I expected something more original than a remake.

I’m quite sad that this will be the third World Cup in a row that FIFA have robbed any possibility of enjoyment from. I love football, but there’s just no way I can watch knowing that it’s for sale to any tyrant who wants to sports-wash their regime. FIFA’s corruption is matched only by the hosts.
