Let me be very clear:
If I see ANY use of generative AI on my Bluesky feed, I will be bullying the GenAI user until one of us blocks the other.
I will NOT welcome GenAI use on this website. GenAI belongs on Twitter, where it can play with Elon's pet Mechahitler.

I know there's no bottom level to Australia's media but also seeing Pauline Hanson elevated to Expert Commentator status is fucking shocking considering
SHE WAS RECORDED CLAIMING AUSTRALIA'S WORST MASS SHOOTING WAS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION
Immediately memory-holed. Like it never happened.

I can't believe I've reached this point of Linux guydom but the way to get rid of this Copilot shit is to use LibreOffice instead
Is there a way to get this mind-numbing Co-Pilot shit off Microsoft Word?

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Zionists are blaming the Bondi attack on:
- a lack of political repression of academics & students
- public support for Palestine
- anti genocide protestors saying "from the river to the sea"
- the Greens (the Van Badham line)
For them murder is bad in Bondi but ok in #Gaza #auspol

Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

The last time Microsoft was able to dominate the tech space was with Internet Explorer, because for the longest time no one bothered to compete and it was already in Windows and free.
So they thought the way to dominate was to include their stuff with Windows and it would just happen.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

VERY depressing seeing so many board game publishers and kickstarters fall down this hole. if you can't afford an artist you can't afford to make a game, if you don't have time to make art you dont have time to make your game.
Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.

It's amazing how comfortable YouTube is allowing people who have hundreds of videos harassing people, but they draw a line with discussing gambling mechanics in gaming (often in games aimed at children)
Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.
I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.
Fuck. YouTube.
