Watching an endless loop of ten second clips? Haha this younger generation. When I was your age we used to watch a variety show starring an ostrich puppet, a man with a cowboy hat and a reel to reel sound player. It was so racist Harry Connick Jr. made a formal protest. It was three hours long

"what does it even mean to be nonbinary if you just present as your assigned gender" well for one thing i am able to compel computers to treat me with fear and respect

so, I got a bit sick of people asking me about generative AI and @yarnspinner.dev, so I wrote some LinkedIn-style (sorry) thought leadership on the matter hey.paris/posts/genai/

trillion dollar industry that will revolutionize everything

the banning of tiktok is another painful reminder to buy physical copies of your media. i have dozens of dvds of an ai voice reading reddit comments over unrelated minecraft footage.

Do you come to AUC #DevWorld or #XWorld? Might want to keep 2-5 September free this year. And plan to be in #Melbourne. #conference #event #iosdev #macos #appledev

interview about a cool upcoming game that uses Yarn Spinner!

never forget the time bluesky's head of trust & safety got caught gooning to barely legal porn on main and panic banned a trans woman for noticing

I love this quote from Ed's essay: "true masculinity is a sense of responsibility for both oneself and others, and finding strength in supporting and uplifting them with sincerity and honesty" Yes.

This is it in a nutshell. They don't want to work out a picture, they don't want to have an idea and develop it with sketches or brush strokes that take it in new, better directions and they certainly don't want to learn from mistakes, they just want to be given something.

OnlyFans model creates SFW content on PornHub, publishes post to LinkedIn explaining that she gets a much higher rate on PornHub vs YouTube ($1,000 per million views on Pornhub versus YouTube’s $340), and then LinkedIn takes down her post and bans her. www.404media.co/why-this-onl...

AI folks have now discovered “thinking”

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Workers at The Barn, among other agricultural buildings, are now shutting the door after the horse got out. Shutting the door, telling people the door is shut, is a form of accountability for the horse that’s now completely free.

i think it’s unfair to expect regular people to know precisely how journalism works so i will say the answer to “why did they sit on that story for so long” is often “because of lawyers”

"Look for the helpers." Friend, you are forty two years old. You are supposed to be the helper.

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields. doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf github.com/ading2210/do...

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

Cab - Tomoko Nakamine

a lesson people oughta take from the rise of bluesky is that buying into anybody's claimed hegemony online is dopey. Facebook didn't used to exist, neither did Instagram or TikTok or any of this stuff. as soon as any platform starts to stink no sentimental attachment is practical or good. bail ASAP

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Here’s a whole thread on this absolutely unbelievable admission of guilt on a national scale.

hmmmmmmmmff 🍷

The Adrian Dittmann Story all the evidence and methodology from A to Z by @ryan.staticnoi.se and me maia.crimew.gay/posts/adrian...

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I maintain that this is actually the funniest possible outcome, a guy so embarrassing that he couldn't convince anyone he's actually a real person
