The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from skill the ability to access wealth.

New: Snapchat is reserving the right to use your own, AI-generated likeness in ads that can then target you. The setting is on by default according to our tests https://www.404media.co/snapchat-reserves-the-right-to-use-ai-generated-images-of-your-face-in-ads/

Links to Tumblr blogs are as useless as links to Twitter. Both are gated behind a mandatory login.

#Mozilla abandons #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Figures.

Took my new Ortlieb Back-Roller Classic pannier bags out for a test ride.

Stopped to take a photo next to another mode of foot based transportation.

Yabba-dabba-do!!!

That's bold, Mozilla, given that 100% of the unwanted AI that I've had pushed on me in the past two weeks has been from you.

Handy infographics are the best 📊

@eniko I love and miss this projection in games

I need to add a lot more stuff (doors, windows, floors, roofs) to make this into a proper log cabin, but that's a solid start 🥰

Friends, please spend this weekend learning how to make a backup copy of your PC's hard disk. Especially if your PC is too old to know what a cloud is, let alone back up your data to one.

Guess what happened in my field work today, a Friday the Thirteenth, that prompted this reminder.

Somebody posted this with the label "The 4 types of IT guys" so I fixed it.

Sim City 2000 Big Box (MS-DOS 3.5" floppy version) [1993]

Flappy Bird is getting re-released

Huh. Cool, I guess.

The original creator is not involved; an unaffiliated company sniped the trademark when he failed to re-register it when it expired

Oh....

It's a trojan horse for "play-to-earn" blockchain bullshit

Sigh

HAH. Gods, Unity is shameless.

So removing the Runtime Fee, great, right?

Except they're using that press as cover for an 8% increase on Unity Pro costs, and a fuckin 25% increase on Unity Enterprise.

(and remember, they forced most folks onto Pro tier, few #GameDev types can operate on Free tier)

Flappy Bird being abandoned because its creator got nervous about it being "addictive," only for the trademark to be picked up by a crypto shill, really feels like some kind of heavy-handed satire
