Swapped to KB/M in Clair Obscur today after dying in a battle and failing to Dodge several times while playing with a controller. Maggie, I don't believe you'll see this, but you were right about the controller input lag

Started playing Clair Obscur yesterday after beating (finally) Persona 5 Royal and I both love and hate that I actually managed to get physically lost in one of the areas. Not like "I don't know how to beat this obstacle" lost, "I have no idea where I'm going" lost.

One of these days, I wish I could have a computer that just uses every TUI app in existence and never uses a DE for anything but I had to go and major in the arts or whatever. Maybe this is a sign that I should go make a TUI DAW. Or maybe I need to stop having project ideas

Biden stood for hours despite cancer in his bones just to honour the victims of 9/11. What a class act compared to the rubbish that now occupies the Oval Office.

On the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: You can tell how influential Star Trek has been by how vigorously the fascist regime in the US is trying to co-opt its imagery (“space force” 🤮) and scuttle its enduring message that humanity’s most hopeful future is one that embraces diversity #StarTrek

I am of two opinions about the OoT remake. It looks okay tbh. I don't hate it. I won't be buying it, though, because I don't want to give Nintendo money after they released the equivalent of a new iPhone model

Happy Labor Day everyone! Celebrate your local unions (especially those either in current bargaining talks or who are being union-busted by corporate)! I'll be celebrating by watching the DS9 episode "Bar Association." And always remember, unions are the compromise!

Here's mine, to absolutely zero surprise. My giveaways were pronouncing cot and caught the same, interchangeably pronouncing the first d in candidate and not pronouncing it, and calling it a roly poly
The results of my dialect quiz. It trends from blue meaning "least like you" to red meaning "most like you." The area surrounding San Francisco is the most red, changing in shade as the map moves east. Mississippi and Alabama are more teal/blue-ish, whereas New England is mostly various shades of blue.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking
A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home.
On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent.
The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal.
Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

The world of tech and finance is full of very smart people who have convinced themselves that their technical knowledge and insider connections translate to the ability to predict the future. The entire finance industry is designed to absorb technical talent from top engineering and science universities and completely squander that talent.
Our economic system incentivizes those talents to spend every waking moment thinking about how to leech, scam, grift, and lie their way to extracting as much value from the economy as possible. The finance industry is the biggest brain drain in human history, sustained by countless self deluded narratives designed to deflect from the moral and mental decay caused by spending 40-80 hours a week focused on selfish, purposeless wealth accumulation via destruction, theft, and generation of exclusively net negative productivity.
