This, but it applies to nearly everything. If you wait for everything to be ideal or perfect, you'll never get anything done. And just because something isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not good.

If you think "i'm clever, I can help portray the fandom in a positive light!" You are exactly the sucker they're looking for. This will be tawdry and exploitative. DO NOT LET THEM USE YOU OR YOUR VIDEOS It's been a long time since the Vanity Fair article and the CSI episode. This'll be worse.

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

I think there's perhaps one valuable insight that AI code generation's giving us about the nature of software development. We speeded up production and the needle on value created barely moved. It's not a production process.

Twitch's "Allow your channel content to train generative AI models" setting is here and on by default. Go turn that shit off, streamer!! The toggle is under your Settings, then 'Security and Privacy'

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

I need the people who post in Microsoft forums to understand that running DISM and "sfc /scannow" is not a catch-all solution to every problem that people post about. Furthermore, in my close to three decades on this Earth, those commands have not resolved anything a single goddamn time.

Every Windows install is like a Mr. Meeseeks: A fresh install will initially work fine but over time the problems start to become more frequent and insane until eventually Windows just decides it's Time To Die and will either stop working entirely, or otherwise force you to do a reinstall.

Ironically, France's government did a study several years ago that found there was no safe or technically feasible way to mandate online age verification without massively expanding surveillance and eviscerating online privacy. They decided to do it anyway.

Bumble sharks 🐝🦈

A collection of small illustrations of the bumblebee-shark hybrid Humlehaj. She has a yellow body with thick, brown stripes, her shark body very very fluffy! She has two antennae on her head, and a pair of delicate bee wings on her back. She has six fins, all of which are brown. She is depicted on these illustrations as a carefree, happy lass, enjoying flowers, lots of honey and hanging out with her bee besties. Such a sweetheart!

Here’s a PSA for people like me who were raised not to waste food (perhaps rather aggressively) we are now dealing with an unreliable food safety system in the US. If something tastes weird or funny or off IN ANY WAY just throw it away.

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

I need folks to understand that as little as 20 years ago it was -expected- for any queer event, of just about every nature, to offer free HIV testing and distribute safe sex materials. It has nothing to do with “it’s about sex.” It has everything to do with “We want you to be okay.”
