Technology used to be cool, but now it's owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet.

But there are transsexual furry hackers out there, still fighting the good fight

"Mechfall." A Grendel (aka Mongrel) from Clan Ghost Bear's Alpha Galaxy enters atmosphere after it was ejected from a damaged DropShip. its main cannon glows at the MechWarrior within takes one last shot at the fighter that attacked her. #BattleTech

A Grendel OmniMech, reposed to look as if it's falling head-first against a flat black background. Its normal paint scheme of dark gray and blue is just visible, but most of the 'Mech is beginning to heat up, with the lowest parts in white fading through yellow and orange to dull red. Its main gun glows blue-white, so bright that it's reflected on its right knee and left ankle.

Sometimes in my work I need to delete the Blender Default Cube, but don't worry, the cube consents to this!

Default cube in Blender with a speech bubble saying "I consent!" in both English and Japanese. There's a context menu open asking "Delete selected object?" With Cancel or Delete options and a mouse hovering over the delete bottom. The default cube is blushing in an anime style blush, even though it has no face.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

please consult chart

the image is a hand drawn decision flowchart that resembles the sort seen in corporate settings, but all the text is handwritten and the lines and shapes hand drawn. The top of the decision tree reads "Do you carry a purse?" with the branches "No" and "Yes". The "No" branch leads to "OK". The "Yes" branch leads to the node "Most of your lady friends" with branch "menstruate" leading to "carry tampons," the "don't menstruate" branch leading to "carry slightly melted hard candies", and the "~equal" branch leading to "carry tampons and candy"

I'd be genuinely curious to know what people think the "win condition" of setting their payments to 0% on itch is. Like what do you think you will Get if you succeed at convincing people to do this en masse. What is the positive outcome in your head

Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same.

Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

Man if you're putting the bulk of your energy into going after itch (literally just some people keeping the whole videogame field afloat with a side project), you are focused on the wrong target.
