Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:
When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Hate how often disabled people have to buy new devices JUST for accessibility software.
I had to upgrade my old iPhone X to a 14 a few years ago just to get live captioning.
My otherwise perfectly fine Mac mini can't do live captioning. Why? because it doesn't have an Apple silicon chip.

I'm about to use a slur as a psa.
FYI gyp/jip/gypped is a slur.
Yes the word you use to mean you got ripped off or scammed is a slur.
It comes from "gypsy " Another slur for the Romani people.
Maybe stop using it.
(You didn't know, now you know)

I had this talk with a friend the other day. He said that AI has come for creative work first, because it’s subjective.
And nobody cares that much, because there is a lot of distaste for the arts and entertainment world in this society at this time. But it CAN and WILL come for other jobs.

I'm staggered that people cannot see how this is ruining lives. Speaks to a deep envy (and even hatred?) of the people that create art for others pleasure. What will they look at or listen to when we're all out of work? Who'll give them something NEW or ORIGINAL to enjoy, 'the same, but different'?

From my perspective it feels like the millennials have been saying THIS IS DIFFERENT for 20 years and everyone replied with "it was ever thus" and shit. (Not directed at you.) So we adjusted. We did our panicking a while ago, when we were still young enough to be discounted and ignored.
Honestly as an over 60 it feels to me like we're heading over a cliff and younger people who kinda haven't known anything else don't realize THIS IS DIFFERENT.
I feel more panic than I see in younger generations.

Including the interview with @katecrawford.bsky.social - and the terrific idea of AI as a “metabolic technology”

If you say, "I spend a lot of time fantasizing about murder and ways to hide bodies," people get all freaked out.
If you say, "I'm an author," they smile and go, "That's nice."
Agatha Christie never walked into a room without wondering how she's kill every person in it.

Tried to replicate the background effects from earthbound inside death's cloak.
I'll post the results here to try and get into the habit of sharing the things I make.

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer.
Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

I love low poly & pixel art games lots.
Not every game has to be realistic life like graphics.
