post from mcc@mastodon.social:

I used to use Macs, and then I looked at iOS 7 and Gatekeeper and thought "eventually, Apple will force something horrific onto my computer, and I won't be able to say no". So then I used Windows until I looked at Win11 and Copilot and thought "eventually MS will force something horrific on my computer, and I won't be able to say no". So now the mac users are miserable with Liquid Glass and the Windows users are miserable with Recall, and am I happy? No. I am using Linux. But I chose my miseries

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?

"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Played Bloodlines 1, now played Bloodlines 2 and craving more VTM?

Give a little spin to my short, Bloodlines-inspired game, Santa Monica by Night, made in 7 days a while back, but it still means a lot to me ❤️

The options boss of Ghost of Yotei is Fromsoft levels of frustrating. Bllllllargh!

This is not a criticism of the choice of the devs, just the screaming of one man who just has not yet gotten the bastard.

That's such an incredibly low number to hit, holy hell, I did not realize. That's just like, half my TikTok followers.

If we can sell between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of OMENS OF CHAOS, we will debut comfortably on the New York Times Bestseller list, which is a very normal thing for a book to want (and will send a very clear message about what we want as a community). We won't, but a girl can dream.

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes

A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

Not that there’s any one reason I’ve had to pivot away from content creation these past few months, but certainly the pile of empty promises of reciprocation I collected over the years is one of the many.

ThatBronzeGirl @thatbronzegirl.bsky.social · 3d

People in the content creation space and entertainment in general will never tire of asking you for things but will never put you on even if it costs them nothing.

Currently going through Yotei now, so no thoughts yet. Looking forward to it though.

a danger of generative videos that I don’t see people talking about much is how many people see a vid of anything impressive and immediately go “it’s AI” now. It’s killing creativity, but it’s also killing the *response* to creativity. I don’t want to live in a world where we underestimate ourselves

Who gets to run a session zero for a Marvel Multiverse RPG session today? It's me!

This system is so fun, the books are well laid out, been a breeze and a pleasure to learn and get a handle on.

@forbeck.com and team did a, dare I say, Fantastic job.

@demiplane.com rocked the digital tools too!

Not yet. Catching up on Marvel stuff first then I will hit the library for more graphics. Thank you for the recommendation!
