For Americans: A lot of workplaces aren't giving medical providers any extra time to handle messages coming in from their online portals. These messages can take a huge amount of uncompensated(!) time to handle. Ask your provider if they'd prefer you schedule a video visit if you can. #healthcare

The "value of art" has been on my mind recently, so I just want to say: if you are creating something that is attempting to convey some aspect of the human experience (no matter how small, or silly, or if it's a tiny part in a larger collaborative work), that is art.

Sorry, let me be more constructive, here's a comprehensive guide on why age verification not only _does not_ work, but cannot work — and harms everyone, of all ages, on the internet: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Adding on, even if your work contains no depictions of anything that can be construed as sexual, people acting in bad faith can report your game as lewd for having homoromantic content or for having non-cishet characters. Bad actors will bank on vagaries of law and the indifference of companies.
A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

It's Friday, which means it's time to carefully author a backup script before your bulk update and then accidentally run your bulk update when trying to back things up. 🥳

I know you're very busy, but can we have a "Don't Eat the Tide Pods," but for ChatGPT and medical advice? @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social Asking for a partner in medicine and for that one guy who decided to eat sodium bromide to "cut down on salt."

Hey @support.bsky.team, it looks like my ISP MonkryBrains San Francisco is getting blocked. I can still see my feed via VPN and such. What's the best way to get this resolved? Any info I can provide from this side?

It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong.
Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

For some reason my wireless provider decided that my two year old phone deserves all the OTA updates it never got for the last two years today. All at once.

I know this is an art account but I just want to let my fellow Godot devs know that I made custom skin and eye shaders and they're available for FREE on GitHub!
Still work in progress, feel free to give feedback!

I feel like I might have set the bar too low with Portrait of a Vann by Jean Claude Van Eyke, but Stone Cold Jane Austin is pretty close.
