I don't want to outsource my thinking to a machine.

I don't want "art" averaged from some aggregation of actual artists' work.

I can write my own fucking emails.

I can write my own fucking code and design my own fucking games.

And I want art that comes from the brains of human artists. Who feel and whose soul goes into their work.

All this stuff is clever and I am sure there are uses for it but the things that are actually valuable in life can't be reduced to a fucking prompt.

My brain: "Are you sure you're a Renamon therian? Like really sure? What if you're just kidding yourself?"
Me: *bursts into happy tears watching Renamon digivolve in Digimon Tamers, thinking about that happening to herself*

If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy.

We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

fuck "separating the art from the artist" the push to rehabilitate Notch in the Minecraft community for the past couple of years has nothing innocent to it

Coming soon: Guidance on responding to the EHRC consultation

We're working with our friends at Scottish Trans and with other LGBTQ+ orgs to create some guidance on how to respond. It'll be with you by the end of the month so you'll still have plenty of time to respond.

In the meantime, take a look at some of the other actions you can take for trans rights on our Equality Act Campaign Hub: https://transactual.org.uk/equality-act-campaign/

I finally made the effort and completed my collection of classic After Dark screensavers. I found suitable versions for DOS, Windows 3.0, 3.1 and WfW 3.11.

The toasters are still flying in 2025!

ABBS was a popular #BBS server #software for #Commodore #Amiga which allowed you to host your own BBS. Development stopped and It was abandoned in 2000, but has now been revived. This is the first new release, now available for download.

#PicoGUS can now emulate both a CDROM drive and Sound Blaster in parallel, smoothly playing both CD audio and SB sound effects simultaneously. Still a lot of polish to do before a new firmware release but I'm excited!! This is MechWarrior 2 with bin/cue stored on a USB stick plugged into the PicoGUS
