Nothing saddens me more than seeing an interesting concept for a game on Steam and then scrolling down to see they use Generative AI.

Why?! Just don’t! There are countless reasons why you shouldn’t!

I've seen multiple games that look cool but use AI and I'm just "why are you like this"

We’ve been honored to work alongside her throughout the years in defense of trans peoples’ right to live in freedom and safety, including when we talked to her in 2023 where she shared advice for our community in dark times.

Her legacy will serve as a torch guiding the fight ahead.

She committed her life to advocating for trans women and sex workers struggling with addiction, homelessness, and incarceration, and worked tirelessly with organizations supporting people with HIV and AIDS.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

It will never not bother me to hear “unalived” or “graped”. We’ve more than proved that banning language only creates different words for the same topics that we absolutely need to be talking about. Stop making serious issues sound less serious by banning the real heavy words. They’re not the issue

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

This is something I'm very scared of happening in my own streams if I ever take off because I'm hardly the best at games, and sometimes make an ass of myself in terms of playing

it's something i see in a lot of streamer communities unfortunately, I'm sorry it's hitting you too

Immigration good

Transgender is not hurting you or others
