Screenshot of a tweet by @feralhousepuppy: hey so you’ve been calling me “bro”, “man”, and “dude” a lot and it’s really invalidating to my masculinity cause those are all gender neutral things you call trans women :/
Screenshot of a Twitter post by @sirocyl: “what’s a good hex editor - preferably for windows - for annotating structs and stuff? I’d normally use audacity but I figure there’s gotta be something better for this.” Attached to the post is a screenshot of Audacity showing two tracks, one of a binary file being interpreted as audio, zoomed-in at the sample level where individual bits can be edited, and a label track with labels such as “IMGDATA_MAGIC”, “IMGDATA_FILE_NAME (1)”, “Width (1)” and “Height (1)”.
THANK YOU. i felt like i was losing my mind seeing everyone else miss the point lol
in the current day and age the best computer touchers are those who touch their computers the least
at least double fine got out… well i don’t want to say “before” microsoft started gutting everything but at least they got out
also daily reminder that the xbucks you spend on xbox fund genocide
meanwhile, asset packs:
also, the problem you describe is part of the reason why hyper realistic games are a problem and expecting all games to fit that mold is bad. your bookshelf is a background detail, it’s fine if all books are just flat colors. using ai for this is the worst of both worlds: it looks unimpressive (half the reason people like hyper realism in games is that they can go “whoa look at all the effort they put in!”), and it takes a massive amount of space on people’s hard drives for no reason!
yes to a ban, these projects are worthless to most but their authors. and good for them, but they can keep their trash for themselves.
like 95% of new foss projects i see pop up are heavily ai-generated, and often in very unsubtle ways (line half the commits being “co-authored by” claude, that sort of thing)
it would be nice to have a community where we can share and discuss projects made by humans, so they don’t drown in the llm bile
looking at recent kernel commits, that penguin is zoinked out on that milk too…
was the mythical “ethical use of ai” real after all???
apple users will eat it up because “whoa look the ai is so much better now that it knows everything about me 😮😮😮”
…unless, of course, you’re close to a person who wears one of these. then you still get spied on yaaaaayyyyy
and unlike the meta glasses, these look the same as any apple watch, which have already been normalized in society. so shunning people for wearing these won’t work cuz you won’t be able to tell. i love the future this is so COOL
🚗💥🔨
notepad++ lets you do hex editing too? that’s pretty cool!
don’t film yourselves committing crimes, come on people
number 1 way to get arrested
the upside is it should be reasonably easy to fork it from before the slop and maintain it independently from there
i… honestly don’t understand how your reply is relevant to the original post in any way?
the original post is saying “in terms of their exploitation of the global south, the democrats and republicans are not meaningfully different”, which i’m sorry to say, is true
so coming to a principled anti-imperialist (i.e. someone for whom anti-imperialism is one of if not the most important issue) and telling them “actually, voting for [imperialist party] is the best way to get rid of [imperialist party]”… what reaction are you expecting, genuinely?
A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based “veracity engine for real-time analysis” (“Vera” for short), which runs on every tweet.
oh wow i can’t see how this could go wrong! /s
the whole site honestly reeks of vibecoded in an afternoon too. still extremely funny tho, i hope they win their case

GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers
GOG has apologized for a “Slavic adventure” newsletter sent out today that featured a number of very distinct Nazi runes in its subject line.
To be clear, this is not a misunderstanding, or images that look kind of alike, or a misinterpretation of an ambiguous situation: That’s a Sonnenrad, a kolovrat, and the extremely unmistakable double Siegrune of the SS—quite possibly second only to the swastika as the most distinctive emblem of the Nazi regime.
[…]
“We are sorry for today’s newsletter,” GOG wrote in an apology on X. “We made a series of mistakes: We created an unfortunate visual association by placing the runes incorrectly, we used the wrong logo for The End of the Sun, we did not check the display of the newsletter on mobile devices—which came out worse—and we didn’t port the feedback from our German QA to other languages.”
The apology doesn’t substantially address how the symbols wound up in the email in the first place. The problem with the runes isn’t their placement, it’s that they are explicitly and indelibly associated with Nazis and white supremacists. Just as with the swastika, their meaning prior to the Third Reich is irrelevant: The Nazi links are too clear and prevalent to pretend that any other connection is equally meaningful.
the article also has a screenshot of the email in question, and of gog’s apology on xitter
i’ve stopped buying on gog since the nazi newsletter shit. imo any publisher worth their salt should stop publishing on there and publish to other drm-free storefronts like itch
token if someone digitizes a physical medium and makes it available to the public copyright is no longer valid
only if you destroy the original i guess
(the real answer is that copyright is and always has been a tool for corporations to control the ownership of culture. what ai companies are doing isn’t fine in the eye of the state because it’s “transformative”, it’s fine in the eyes of the state because they’re corporations selling their products)
so does google docs iirc. it can even export to odt
noooo! not propaganda into my perfectly unbiased and neutral facts machine!
it comes from trans subreddits like r/traa and r/egg_irl, where posts of the “the person reading this is a good girl UwU” variety had CWs because they could cause dysphoria to non-transfems (there was an equivalent “post assumes reader is transmasc” too)
here? tbh, most of the posts with that CW don’t even assume anything about the gender of the reader, it’s just posts about transfems. and i agree with you i don’t super like that “this post is about transfeminine people” is seen as warranting a CW.
ce texte transcende la langue… incroyable… stupéfiant…
