Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

"We need to create more electrons" has to be up there with the dumbest things ever said by a supposed genius billionaire. That would be so embarrassing to a normal person with a conscience.

Skeeters, I'm fucking cooked. Burnt to a crisp. 4 months since I took a day off and I am spent like my first paycheck. I can relax in 9 days' time. How the fuck do I keep going?

Bluesky doesn't penalize you for using links, tags, using key words like Patreon or commissions, and doesn't have a central algorithm on your following feed, which means all the power rests on you to help your favourite creators be seen!

Without getting into the AI angle, I think dead people should be allowed to remain dead. You don't need to commodify everything. You don't get to claim something that belonged to a real person simply because he's not around to assert his likeness rights. We have film. We have memories. It's enough.
Robin Williams' Mrs Doubtfire co-star has suggested the late actor's voice should be revived using AI.

Whether or not something is a distraction doesn't change how much damage it does. The chaos itself is just another aspect of the danger. It's all a distraction. It's all incompetence. It's all malice. Focus on what you can have an impact on instead of identifying which fire is the hottest.

My latest newsletter is about why being anti-genAI is to be pro-human.
It's about why it's time to fight. Why we need to fight. And it's about the cost of failure.

2021 was not a year of "explosive innovation" in tech. It was a year of tech stocks being the only safe bet while entire physical supply chains screeched to a halt. LinkedIn is full of transparently moronic talking heads who don't know what a bubble is but seem to be blowing then all day.

The ease with which state power can be used at the whim of corporations, and the difficulty in using it for the people... Is kinda fucked. The states we are citizens of belong to us, not just those with tax-dodging financial vehicles.

As a native Spanish speaker, it baffles me the dissonance between written and oral languages in English.
For instance, you write "BlueSky is a dead echo chamber for libs", but it reads "I want to post slurs without being blocked".

It's refreshing to see the normal bullshit toxicity and bickering from 10 years ago appearing on BlueSky. People are disagreeing about meaningless things instead of what's a human right and who's human enough to get 'em.
