Meant to do this earlier in the month, but better late than never, yeah? Hopefully, the gif works for this going forward and it doesn't wind up becoming a static image.

A gif of Femt appearing upon multiple TV screens in an episode Blood Blockade Battlefront.

The short version: the Gzdoom team has finally had enough of Graf Zhal's shit (including but not limited to pushing AI code into Gzdoom).

The entire team has packed up and made a new fork of Gzdoom.

GitHub - DZDoom/DZDoom: DZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Let's make a thread of some Black work 👇🏾

queer spaces are so overly racially biased it makes me upset every time.

the lack of boosting black positivity or just interacting with black art is upsetting. black art, people, and characters aren't viewed in the same desirability as white characters.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 12h

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

🔞OnyxNuva🔞 @onyxnuva.bsky.social · 2d

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

If we can raise £100 for every day in October, I'll be cutting off my hair and donating it to the Little Princess Trust!!

All money raised will go towards saving Nibbles Rabbit Rescue and helping the bunnies in their care find their forever homes 🩷🐰

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

is anyone else getting tired of the victorian / middle earth aesthetic discord has been using? guilds were fine but this is a little excessive

discord context menu that lists

"send to the gallows
enroll as royal guard
stop the tomfoolery
behead postehaste
seize this user
inform of a malicious plot"

as available options

Wanting to focus more on your local area or your State is just as good as wanting to try and turn things around in Congress. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a bad actor with a malicious goal in mind.

Granted I should mention there's a lot of people who aren't running for re-election next year.

If you, or someone you know, has had thoughts about running for ANY kind of office, then please do it.

I'm serious. Mid-terms are coming up and it's better to throw your hat in early than too late.

And I cannot stress this enough, ALL electable positions matter.
