hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I would also like to know the reason behind banning someone - even a fringe candidate in a fursuit - who is running for Congress.
Speaking of furries, Bluesky just banned a furry running for Congress for some odd reason. Elyon Badger is running in Michigan's 7th district, which contains Lansing & Michigan State University

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

A couple days ago, I fled home.
I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive.
This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. On Monday, I discretely packed my bags, computer, and left.

can vouch, has some quirks though (windows has forced updates; bunch of libraries are loaded from external sources so loading stalls/hangs randomly when opening if Weekly Internet Outage:tm: is ongoing; easy to fall into sub-window hell)
(UI at least is miles better than anything else currently)

For those who are using SAMMI and don't wanna support AI.
I personally use FireBot.
If you struggle with bots that have a complicated UI/UX experience. I really recommend using Firebot instead.
It has support for Dual PC setups too.
External plugins.
All in a really friendly UI.

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.
The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Twitch has expanded the Emote Guidelines to add examples of what is not allowed.
The key points were already there, but they've added new examples to each to clarify.

Yeah, Core Devices' work in bringing these devices back to market should be celebrated. It's amazing that they're back. But they should have NO hesitation in committing to continuing to support the open-source Rebble platform. The community is far too passionate and tech-savvy to permit any abuse.
