I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.

Got invited to an event that promised a 'safe space' for CEOs to discuss AI adoption without fear of censure from anxious creatives

I've mentioned since the writer's strike that streaming does not make the money it claims to have. All these services were attempting to gain its money through acting as loss leaders to draw people into it's ecosystem in the hope of profit despite reaching saturation And now disney confirms it.

It's so sad that secondary languages in gameloc usually don't have a proper editing phase. I'm doing an LQA for a game and I can see tons of ways the text could be improved, but this isn't the LQA's phase responsibility.

what if the obligatory persona transfer student was young indiana jones and shot monsters in the face with a gun while exploring the ancient ruins under the school in between hanging out with the silly anime people

Despite everything that I already have to do, now I want to carve out some time to play PoE 1 and 2 followed by Tyranny so I can finally distill the reasons why I think Tyranny is more interesting and fun than PoE. I hope this isn't some kind of hot take lol, but I really like Tyranny way more.

hello i just learned about this 30 seconds ago and it delights me

I only have two modes when explaining stuff: either 3 sentences of ultracondensed information that you immediately understand because you know what I'm saying, or a 10-page essay where I go over every detail that matters to contextualize what I'm saying. There's no in between.

Everyone pining for this should buy Fantasian. What if we brought that method of asset creation, but we tricked a clueless CEO into funding a very cost-prohibitive method for doing it for absolute sickos.

In Part 15 of my Suikoden Localization Let's Play, we get into a couple more war battles, discover that the 不 in 不甲斐ない is a bit misleading, learn about the origins of the phrase むしの知らせ, and find a bungled clue in the PS1 translation.

This is one of the best mainstream pieces of A.I. criticism I've ever read, and it is somehow on CNN. @amorrow.bsky.social is far ahead

minha irmã me contou esses dias que tem uma senhora que vai todo dia no sesc são carlos e posta no insta qual é o bolo do dia. o perfil se chama bolo do sesc hoje

sometimes i look at aya nishitani's twitter because he posts weird shit like hand-drawn diagrams of how the demon summoning program is supposed to work in the original megami tensei novels

A sutil diferença entre usar "hehe" e "heh" numa tradução.

Folks, it's a great time to get off Academia[.]edu! Consider Knowledge Commons!:) @kcommons.bsky.social Nonprofit, grant-funded. Originally started up by MLA as "Humanities Commons." about.hcommons.org

A lot of people think the 1983 US console crash happened because the games were bad. That's not it though! It happened because management overprojected growth/sales and sent the industry into a tailspin. Maybe sounds familiar!

Acho um barato que o partido anti-imigração de Portugal ganhou nos votos de portugueses emigrados. Mas depois de ver brasileiro na Europa votando em Bolsonaro, não surpreende tanto assim.

"Empresa X está procurando pessoas para trabalhar em projeto de tempo limitado" Tradutês entrando no cotidiano até mesmo dos profissionais de tradução fazendo posts oficiais. Ou sei lá. Eu fico tão paranoico com possíveis erros ao postar algo profissional, acho que podia me preocupar menos então.

Facebook tá um deserto, tem páginas de filmes/músicas tomadas por bots que ficam postando memes aleatórios, ninguém mais fala nada lá, a interface no desktop é a mesma do mobile mas piorada... E pensar que 5 anos atrás eu trabalhava com FB aberto de fundo pra ficar conversando. Que virada.

Here's a snippet from the now-defunct Etrian Odyssey website. Kazuya Niinou, the lead designer behind the first game, talks about the importance of imagination when playing it. #etrianodyssey

I'm finally delving into dungeon synth. (Ok, ok, I'll see myself out.)

Then it sounds like you don’t have a business model, sir.

“MAAAAM! GRANDAD’S SWIMMING IN THE PAVEMENT AGAIN”

AI Companies: "We have already achieved artificial general intelligence and have moved on to creating superintelligence." AI tools: "Sudoko puzzles are the most complex and intractable riddles in all of human history." HT: @colin-fraser.net Source: pub.sakana.ai/sudoku/

I want to go back into making music, but I'm getting frustrated at FL Studio (too many windows floating around on a laptop screen sucks, and I hate the way it handles automation) and have been looking into trackers again (I have Renoise, but barely use it)...

The origins of the Maltese language seem so interesting. That's definitely a topic I'll have to dive into in the future.

Se a pessoa fala "chafé", você sabe que ela não deve ser levada a sério.

Unironically, making static websites from scratch and software that just does its goddamn job is currently a revolutionary act in itself. That takes money though, plus your average free software enthusiast hasn’t quite figured out yet that usability actually bloody matters

Laws about bank robbery also make bank robbery unworkable as a legal business.

we already have technology to upload/download your personality when you die, we've had it for at least 3000 years, it's called becoming a ghost and haunting or possessing people, fully organic and available in your area from local artisans

I love Calvin and Hobbes
