There's the "I want shorter games worse graphics not kidding etc etc" phrase, how about "I want artists to be able to make mistakes and make weird unappealing shit sometimes and not starve"

Unless you define "ready", and make the target reasonable, you'll never be "ready" to leave Spotify (or music streaming generally, if that's your direction).
These services thrive in expanding your libraries at rates you can't possibly keep up with on a normal income — that's never been doable.

In spite of all the hardship in the game industry at the minute, whether for indies or larger studios, that make it easy to doom over…
I honestly don't think I've ever been more excited by games than in recent years. There's incredible stuff happening and an incredible diversity now.

2. can do the thing, but only because it's secretly remote workers in Malaysia

I have just seen a post where somebody proudly declared, and explained why, they still primarily use Windows 7.
Whilst I can understand the frustration with modern Windows, I cannot stress this enough:
DO NOT USE ANCIENT OPERATING SYSTEMS ON INTERNET-CONNECTED DEVICES

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

My biggest hater take is probably that I find Fortnite to be absolutely dystopian. It's giving me feelings of dread and despair to see all these intellectual properties™ come together in a franchise slurry.

Perhaps the greatest indictment of generative AI is that, chatbots aside, most of my hatred for the tech was on moral grounds.
"It has some good uses, just not this," I said.
Then new research is published. It's bad at one of the few niche use cases I though it suited for. And again. And again.

Have been drawing a lot of faces and heads for my daily-ish drawing practice over the past week, and I think I've finally discovered a method that clicks with me, and has tonight resulted in me drawing something that actually resembles a human being and won't give me nightmares.

If I hear or read "You need to start using AI now or risk getting left behind!" I'm going to scream.
When has anybody ever been "left behind" by not adopting the new shiny thing immediately? Hell, it'll probably look completely different by the time it becomes important, IF it ever does.

I probably should have tested my graphics tablet's dial with a different configuration tool than GNOME's default one, just to check it wasn't my code that was the problem.
But following a system update I can confirm that it was not, in fact, my fault
