This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL

-RIGHT-

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

Considering I recall Paradox using AI for some Stellaris dlc almost right after it started spreading everywhere like a plague I can't really say I'm surprised. And if it somehow isn't, it's a great example of why you really should never use it, because I do not trust anything they make anymore.

Some youtube short autoplayed on me earlier trying to hype up Europa Universalis 5 and I stg the splash art I saw from it looked so AI-generated. A lot of "overly detailed in some parts, sludge in others" crowd shots where characters had no clear focal point or energy.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Bluesky Safety @safety.bsky.app · 10d

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed]

Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

It's funny how old monhun expected a lot of grinding out of you, but it's almost like the old design keeping it together was actually functional and worked.
There's many chips at modern monhun's ankles that's really tipping it outside of fun for me, and I hate feeling that way.

I was actually excited when Omega curbstomped me because I thought it was actually time to go out and prepare for something. Get new weapons, set up my skills, etc.
Then I realized the only possible way I could get more DEF was by... having played the game nonstop for countless hours lmao.

Franktonius @franktonius.bsky.social · 6d

The preparation side of Monhun has so thoroughly been murdered, it's funny how they could've leaned into Wilds' design while heightening the feeling of needing to scavenge supplies during a hunt with how fluid it is but just, don't. Because the game has no friction.
And now it's "1hko mons" again.

Franktonius @franktonius.bsky.social · 6d

Been trying to beat Omega and I think it's funny how most of my problems with it are more issues with the weird live-service-type design of Wilds than anything.
I am being deleted if I get slightly grazed by an attack, my option is upgrading armor. I have no armor spheres.
