I heard the Pope has denounced AI, that's cool. How's he doing on not killing us again?

If some tuber you've never met or talked to can break your heart then maybe you should do a bit less parasocial stuff.

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.

No, that was literally the OG plan. They backed off, apparently because "they couldn't digitally alter her voice to sound masculine" which, uh.

You're not in control, the feedback is indirect and obscure, and the "subscription" tab is right there, and if you want recommendations then I have a recommendation for you right here: talk to people.

You have agency in whether you become a Nazi, actually. But once you become one there isn’t much point in trying to redeem you, and systems can make it easier to become one.

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.

I’m re-watching it, now knowing that Delenn was supposed to be trans, and the chrysalis part is driving me mad with how obvious that is and how insane must have been to work on that. Everyone in deep shock because she grew hair, lmao.

I even avoided being force to use the chatbots until now, though the pressure at work started mounting recently. It sounds so odd to me, because while the bubble isn't bursting yet, it feels really late to jump on the hype.

Eh, no need to be sorry for me, I'll cry into my software developer wage for now. At least I get to boast that I was one of the IT people who did _not_ ever be like "everyone learn JavaScript" while still trying to _somehow_ reduce my expenses and look for a way out.

Same, I'm being rather silly here. I've been looking for way to get out of the industry and it's not easy at all. Though I guess that's a parallel to all the courses promising permanent perfect employment if you just do a JavaScript course.

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.

And yes I do hate both Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria. For all the good vibes those games are incredibly weird and unpleasant, from the way they see food and farming to the way they see interpersonal relationships. It's all nightmare stuff.

Gender Shrapnel @gendershrapnel.modzero.xyz · 27/09/2026
One review is like "a farming with a twist: you have to provide food for your village" and that's incredibly revealing of how weird most farming sims are. Most of them are like "this food belongs in a museum."

I shouldn’t be boasting but I always got bad vibes off him. There’s this attitude that treats specific fetishes as synonymous with progressivism that just revolts me — even when it’s the ones I happen to partake in — and every time I tried his writing I kinda smelt that on it.

I don’t think I saw one of those folks Benjanun is talking apologize themselves tbh. Just their friends showing up. And honestly most of what those people usually face is one angry, harshly worded thread and then moving on. Plenty of grace I would say, unless you expect zero consequences at all.

I'm just looking at how the first scenes of KSBD are a rather blunt portrayal of comphet, and how incredible it became by now, and like... how is that supposedly made by a cishet dude? I'm calling basement on this one, sorry.

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.

By which I mean they already got an AI slop mission patch. Apparently they re-painted it, but it still looks terrible.
010
Gender Shrapnel @gendershrapnel.modzero.xyz · 16/09/2026
Like folks it's a proprietary game from a commercial dev. And on the other hand, the "patron" setup means they end up having to give "rewards," which _once again_ include player content, which in 2026 means just what you'd expect.

Gender Shrapnel @gendershrapnel.modzero.xyz · 16/09/2026
I mean good for them, and I'm pretty sure that's not the _only_ reason they work on KSA (quite the opposite, I suspect - "OK we need to fund this _somehow_"), but I'm validated in not donating to someone's commercial project.

Oh, I figured out what's up with the way Kitten Space Agency is monetized! Rocketwerkz wants to licence Brutal, and KSA is very much a way to promote it as a useful game engine.

I have to point out that what you're doing right now amounts to asking "what is the purpose of this post." It's world domination, by the way. _Every_ posts purpose is world domination. That's so obvious and that's why asking the question is so irritating.
