I don’t want AI-generated assets in games at the expense of past, present, and future artists – artists that created all the source material in the first place and had it pirated by corporations who had enough money to ignore all existing IP law globally.

If Tim Sweeney is fine with pirating other’s art, he should be cool with people pirating his games.

Please remember that this software has not yet been properly audited and could potentially have bugs that compromise your passwords.

That said, it looks attractive and promising.

Feminism has a place, but it is explicitly about promoting women’s interests – something which if allowed to continue unchecked, leads to significant disadvantages for men.

I think that’s a dangerous belief. I don’t see the difference between saying that and saying “Equality for black people has a place, but it is explicitly about promoting black interests – something which if left allowed to continue unchecked, leads to significant disadvantages to whites.”

Some people argue that intent shouldn’t be considered when sentencing people for their crimes.

I believe intent impacts a perpetrator’s potential rehabilitation (something a lot of countries put very little effort into when keeping people incarcerated) and should therefore affect sentencing.

Casually throwing feminism under the bus – a movement that focuses on women’s issues (to the overall societal benefit of everyone) – for focusing on women’s issues?

Huh. Is this socially acceptable now? I thought we were better than this.

In the US, “doxxing” laws are pretty much state-by-state and many may be violating the first amendment.

Yeah Apple is straight up user hostile to people running apps on MacOS not signed by Apple, and I don’t know why more people don’t talk about it and push back against it. They are one step away from removing the ability to freely install software on your own computer.

I don’t use itunes on mac or ios, so I use an app called NoTunes on MacOS that kills the itunes app whenever it launches.

Jeb!

Friendly reminder that Reolink cameras need to be denied internet access / isolated on the network because they constantly reach out to a bunch of Chinese IP addresses.

We are in a new age of disinformation and crazy people, where the president of the US literally responds to protests against him with AI videos of him shitting on all of them, and where every sarcasm post needs an /s.
