Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

The 2014 RoboCop was better than I was expecting - and the Pat Novak character really links to current US political commentators clearly (sadly)

I took a few days off from screaming unto the void, but I'm back. Are you aware of #BookBazaar25?

22 projects banding together for the ultimate hype train. Including my campaign for The Dark Side of Super's audio book.

While we are funded, there are stretch goals to heroically smash, #BookSoky!
The Dark Side of Super Audio Book
The Dark Side of Super is an interconnected collection of super-powered shorts. Each features a dark, gritty, realistic take on powers, and adding another layer to the larger story arc being told. Loo...

Reskeeting with alt text

Yeah this has become the utter pain of what we once had. Used to be you'd run to Google for a trusted and quick search and now I try to avoid it when I can

Legit ruined their own product to the point of being unrecognizable

This is insane - but I think Amazon actually updated my eBook to its second edition.

On the first try.

Without me needing to follow up???

Never had the chance to watch this with JPN audio - might try to rectify that in 2026.

Yes, I'm planning that far ahead XD

My campaign for The Dark Side of Super's audio book is still going for 12~ more days. There's still plenty of time to snag some swag, or even a copy of the audio book.

Any support is VERY MUCH appreciated! Scream unto the void with me.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

Goodbye money.

But also, damn there's some really amazing books and swag to be had, so I ain't mad.

I'm definitely still chasing 'the artist that was' within me and it's holding me back just as much as it's motivating me XD
