Another tech bro run thing you really should stop using if you haven't already. Our phones can hold cavernous amounts of MP3s, music-only devices can be found in abundance, and there's stuff like Bandcamp for direct artist support.

Fresh reminder that ModRetro's founder also funds death dealing.

Now we know where all that Spotify money is going. Not to the artists - perish the thought. No, the CEO has invested it all in AI weaponry designed to kill humans. I wish this were a joke.

Spotify boycott: Artists leave 'garbage hole' platform after CEO invests in AI weapons

Daniel Ek's investments in AI dronemaker Helsing have unnerved artists. One called Spotify a "violent armageddon portal."

Boss and a few others filed complaints to corporate but I might look into making my own lmao. Anecdotal evidence doesn't stand up tho umu

The trolleys were Not designed for this. By having the weight so heavily placed on the front half, it prevents all the wheels being used, moves the handle bar up half a foot, and forces us to use a lot more force to push them. So now we're all getting Increasingly More Injured. What the fuck.

The trolleys we use ay work are designed to carry totes filled with groceries, and to evenly distribute that weight across 6 wheels with a chest height handle so it doesn't strain anything. Recently they added large items to regular trolleys. So an extra 30-60lbs on the top towards the front.

Something I put together a couple years ago when I was working on multiple different projects that needed feathers

Multiple screenshots of a sphere with feather type shapes simply stuck onto it. There are multiple types of vertex normal projections put onto the feathers showing different methods for smoothing them

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot.

Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov

Cassandra—Kimmy #8519 @tiptransformed.bsky.social · 1h

@murray.senate.gov When the government is back in session, will you introduce a bill to take “sex/gender” off passports? There is no reason for it to be there, and, indeed, it’s only been there because of the misogyny of our government in 1972?

I’d appreciate a response.

Also note that this is a label put on accounts that will hide *every post* from someone forever and ever amen. if they get tagged rude for one post, the rest of their posts will be hidden regardless of content, which is asinine.

Evil Bat Witch @evilbatwitch.cryptoanarchy.network · 1d

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Rude
Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose.

Yeah, like what do they consider Suggestive or Misinformation? What counts as a Scam or Harmful? Where is the line between informative and "Oh icky we don't like it"?

I love how the colours turned out on this one, for the others I kept the tails being the only part with accuarate colours, but for the trans flag it worked pretty well to keep the whole tiger the flag colours with no changes
