We can't do anything because right now, the only ones hurt are women, and we can't risk any harm befalling an actual human being.

I thought it was weird and exploitative that a cis dude talks about the helicopter story like it’s his experience because he got a VR headset but everyone loved it and now I’m once again I should actually trust my judgement more.

There are two kinds of people, one that sees you as entirely helpless in face of propaganda and the other who think they are immune to propaganda and both are fucking dumb.

If you're a disgruntled Firefox user like me, what you want to do today is go to about:config, look for browser.nova.enabled and turn it to false. And then go online to complain about how aesthetic redesigns I didn't ask for aren't actually helpful. If I wanted a new theme I'd just install it.

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

BTW I _hate_ paid for "patron" content in games, it seems to always bring some horrible stuff. It's like the people who'd pay a hundred bucks or whatever to add a transphobic joke to Pillars or Eternity instead of like, donating it or something, tend to be awful.

The more I play ZCOM the more I wish it was just XCOM2. Also they kinda tried for the Andor vibes, but it's very much a swing and a miss, just can't stop themselves from usual Star Wars puerile bullshit and "OMG Anakin." Also they don't pay their employers.

Honestly, I'm less worried about people "getting on my ass" (I sometimes engage with Reddit, so I get that regularly. Yes, pretty sure it counts as self-harm) and more about suddenly getting a non-insignificant amount of followers and now having to Act Responsibly while not getting paid for it.

So @gamingonlinux.com came out as pro-slop and now calls people who don't like that "FOSS purists and zealots," and lets people believe it's all because of Bluesky.
Liam S-H @ThePlant@mastodon.social

As much as I dislike generative AI for music and artwork - I can see the uses for certain types of programming busy-work.

I think calling every single thing that uses even a tiny bit of AI to look over something as "slop" actively harmful, and takes attention away from the real issues.

I've never been fully against AI. I don't like actual real "slop" like someone generating a stupid image or crappy music, but there's a lots of real-world decent uses for it.

The training data being a problematic one, as is the rise of all the data centres, hardware pricing and so on...GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮️
@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social

Deleted my last post, but I will say this, foss purists and zealots are some of the most annoying people around, and it's a real problem on Mastodon.

Replies here are no longer monitored regularly (if at all). If you want me, email me, details on profile.

Posts will continue as normal, as they auto-post when I publish. Dealing with replies when you have nearly 67K followers is just too noisy for my mental health here with the attitudes I don't get anywhere else.

Much love.

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip. It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.
