"You can't give a student a failing grade because of the First Amendment" is the next logical step up from "you can't ban me from twitter for calling someone slurs because it's a violation of my free speech"
It is an undergraduate psych class response essay to an assignment prompt that opened the door to non-germane perspectives. Public institutions can’t penalize students like this consistent with the First Amendment. It may have been an average essay, but 0/25 seems hard to justify under these facts.

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

In my experience, the death of the living room started back in the '80s, especially with the middle-class, when a conflation between "living room" and "drawing room", when it became a semi-formal space for official events and ceased being a place for "fun". 1/3

We seem to be able to identify scab technology when we see it
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

The downside to D&D4E being so hugely influential in the indie RPG sphere in spite of Hasbro's best efforts to kill is that we've now got a whole new species of fantasy heartbreaker where the problem isn't a failure of imagination, but the fact that the author can't do technical writing for shit.

I love this part of the game. After seeing so much general fantasy weirdness, you go to the wizard tower populated by daughter-wive clones and the last of the dwarves (in a spider-mech) and *you're* the asshole.

Though Cryptic being sold off is sad news for sure, star trek online itself is still going under deca games, with ops and many former cryptic devs transferring over to deca to keep it running.

When they say 'gatekeeping', they mean that they were told they have to practice to get good, or pay an artist if they won't do the practicing.
They're being handed every single resource they need to practice (aside from probably materials), but actually putting in the work is anathema to them.
