This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · 3d

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I am so tired of constantly being able to say "we told you so"

Hackers were able to access copies of IDs, but also IP addresses and usernames/profiles associated with them.

A huge blow for anonymity online and a risk for marginalized communities and politically or legally disfavored groups.

From Discord release:

The data that may have been impacted was related to our customer service system. This may include:

• Name, Discord username, email and other contact details if provided to Discord customer support
• Limited billing information such as payment type, the last four digits of your credit card, and purchase history if associated with your account
• IP addresses
• Messages with our customer service agents
• Limited corporate data (training materials, internal presentations)
The unauthorized party also gained access to a small number of government-ID images (e.g., driver's license, passport) from users who had appealed an age determination. If your ID may have been accessed, that will be specified in the email you receive.

Bluesky the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.

You can say " Jesse Signal's hate drives the exact divide that you are describing" and the CEO will say "So you hate waffles?"

No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

wish there was a better way to have the convo about the fact a lot of fans force queer subtext into big corporate IP that is comically devoid of it, champion it for being "so gay", and then turn around and go "mm idk, it isn't PERFECT rep" about indie stuff actually trying to include those themes

Long story short:

Everything under the "Inktober" umbrella is now copyright own by it's creator Jake. Basically if you tag Inktober you don't own your stuff anymore. He copyrighted the concept.

Then to put the nail in the cofin, he plagiarize a whole ass book.
