Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.
I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.
New evidence shows AI's thirst for power may be distorting the flow of power to US consumers (gift link):

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse
There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

Did some levels of Breeze Contest in Celeste.
How the fuck were some of the tricks in Awake found?
And DARK VOID has no reason to be as well done as it is.

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):
1. Email your MP. Template letter in 🧵 👇

every site needs a version of somethingawful's "we can just ban you" policy to use against bad actors who make a game of ruining the site while making sure to always stay 1% shy of violating the rules as-written

Hey does anyone know any BSKY alternatives? Given how piss-poor the recent announcement of "wait, someone's breaking our community guidelines? ah, nu-uh.", I'm just wondering what other places there could be.

kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

I will hold this grudge until the day I die. No one from Riot gave me an explanation or even TALK to me until I found the Head of People on LinkedIn and sent her a 2000-word message about how badly they ratfucked me. Abominable. “Riot isn’t evil anymore,” people told me. Never believe it.
Happy 2nd anniversary to Riot Games dangling a whole new life in front of me after 3 months of interviews, then burning down my life 3 weeks later by rescinding it for “headcount issues” after I had put in notice at my job & apartment, throwing me into an 8-month job search and suicidal depression 🥳

My reaction this morning was "fuck".
It doesn't directly impact me, but nonetheless, it's the wrong thing to have happened.
