I got the email notification about this from Spreadshirt last week and promptly deleted my account. If you have one, you should too.

Spreadshirt to artists: We’re taking your designs for AI

Spreadshirt is an online print-on-demand store. You can sell T-shirts and mugs and so on. My wife Arkady Rose is an artist as well as a musician, and had a pile of designs on Spreadshirt and Redbub…

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Boss: I have an idea

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Hey

So this is capitalism trying to take a foothold in our community.

They see a market, and they want a piece.

If they get one, they'll want more, they'll start trying to show up at cons to sell us garbage

They'll insert plants into our community (which I bet are already here now) --->

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

Fair! I didnt know either, which is why I asked. 😅

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

Sorry for replying so much. I wish that bookmarks were public so you can see that I dont even do this behavior that you are accusing me of. I pay subscriptions to the people I like like a real man, and follow on social media the people im curious about but not invested in yet.

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

Another thing; if a person likes what they see, and wants to purchase the full video of it, for example, would you not think that bookmarking would be a great way to return to that advertisement when the person is in a position to purchase it?

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

What do you not "think so" about? Is it about whether people bookmark because they like something and want to see it again, which can lead to wanting more of it? Or something else entirely?

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

This reply doesn't pay either. None of your posts on bluesky pay. Does that mean there is no value in posting things for people to see?

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

Also bookmarking hasn't even existed for a full month yet. Where was the bluesky sexworker meeting where everyone decided this? Because, again, you are the first person I've seen say anything

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

Why are you trying to get people to dogpile me for asking a question that I never heard anyone discuss before? I do believe swers deserve to be paid. You're acting like not bookmarking this is common knowledge, and Im saying its not. This isn't a gotcha moment, its an education opportunity

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

Then say you dont consent on your posts. How am I supposed to know any better if its never said? This is the first time I've ever heard any sexworker talk about this, so I asked. Where did I say anyone is entitled to free content?

Warren @vriskarious.bsky.social · 17h

They are advertising. I do believe sex workers deserve to be paid. That isn't the part im asking about. Im talking about the posts they put up for free to get people interested in their content. Isn't bookmarking still advertisement- one that worked as it got someone attention?
