Getting to know me

He/Him
I am quite left wing
The means of survival should be a human right
I love the Maple Leafs and my family
liberals and conservatives are equally full of shit
Greed and capitalism are ruining the world
Free Palestine
Trans rights are human rights
NGL I was halfway through this before I understood what was going on.

We have people working for multi-billion dollar corporations that cannot afford food and housing. The US has incarcerated people working for pennies an hour in privatized prisons.

This post could have ended after the first 3 words.
Slavery didn’t end because the slave owners came to their senses and developed morals. They literally fought to the death to try to uphold it. Their ancestors still celebrate the institution to this day.

@shadowbanner.bsky.social How do I get rid of the general content warning I see on some accounts? It isn't in your list of things I can just choose to show.

There is something desperately wrong with these people.
Meta has patented AI that can run a dead person's account, continuing to post and chat on their behalf

It can message and video call by replicating a user's online behavior using their past data

Definitely not cult like behaviour. Nope nope definitely not.

YouTube. The number of absolutely excellent content creators on every topic you can imagine makes it a great "forget the real world" rabbit hole.
Where do you go online that isn't social media, when you want a break from the horrors?

20 years ago, I would have gone to Fark, or Slashdot, or Metafilter as a place to find interesting art, funny stuff ... you know, things we took for granted before the horrors. Where do you go these days?

Has anyone asked Cuba recently? Or Palestine?

Watching the new Muppet Show special and man the memories just came flooding back! One of those "kid's shows" that I don't think was ever really intended for kids lol.

The new one starts with Sabrina Carpenter singing in the middle of a bar fight xD

lmfao this is great!
What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

I have all these labels turned off. Bluesky's moderation is utter dogshit and I don't trust them at all to decide what I should or shouldn't see.
If you want to see posts from cool people on here, go to @moderation.bsky.app and turn off this label

Did they just say Spooner didn't get a shift in the first period? Tell me I heard that wrong.

AI fucking with open source software maintainers is reason enough to burn it to the ground.
Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

I promise you if you use AI in any phase of your game development I will never buy that game, nor any other game you, or your studio, makes. Zero exceptions.

If not the best, it is still extremely relevant.

So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…
What’s the best song lyric in history?
