since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

extremely funny how nintendo’s solution for upping hidden mansion mode’s difficulty in the PAL ver. of luigi’s mansion included adding so many ghosts into certain rooms that sometimes their sfx peaks & clips out when they spawn in cus the engine can’t handle that many sound sources at once

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.
I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Why bother supporting someone who won’t even do the most basic right thing?

This is extremely fucked up. Everyone who voted for this man needs to stand up and demand that this shit doesn’t stand.

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"
they are not your allies.

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??
My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee”
Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

The fact they’re still using PS2 dev kits (tho they’re planning on switching) is wild to me. I imagine the current dev team skewers older but it’s fucking me up imagining they may have people working on hardware that’s older than they are lol
