@nicole aha, I see! Thank you!

@nicole happy bday! Is the top right white plastic bit out of alignment by any chance? To my eyes it looks like it should be angled downward to avoid the other one slipping backwards over time. Force redirection from horizontal to vertical and all that.

Journaling for Game Makers
Game-making is a rigorous endeavour of many moving parts. To keep our creative juices flowing, we can use journaling to help us set development goals, reflect on our production process, and explore new networks and opportunities. Join Tanya Kan from Vivid Foundry in a roundtable and workshop about how journaling can motivate us! Bring your journal and your writing tools. All experience levels and all disciplines are welcome. You will also have the opportunity to try out and purchase fountain pens (24 available). Free! Registration not required. Limited capacity, first come first served!

Fort York Library, 190 Fort York Blvd

N’ayant pas trop d’idée, je suis retournée vers les portraits il y a quelques semaines. J’avais envie de faire une collection de portraits des personnages d’Arcane saison 2, que ce soit les personnages que je dessine souvent ou d’autres. Je pensais faire quelque chose d’assez spontané et direct… et quand j’ai commencé par celui de Vi, c’est parti dans totalement autre chose, plus détaillé et plus précis. Après tout, pourquoi pas ? #arcane #procreate #portrait #FediArt

dear tech recruiters:

at this point, if your company is *not* in the AI space, that's what you should start your unsolicited email with

i'll probably still ignore it but it's feeling like more and more of a plus every day

@gregatron5 there's this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFNNdvVPrCY

@umbraroze what surprised me was that this was Deck Nine's own game — how did they mess up the remaster of that?! I can understand there being issues when you inherit another studio's game, but... 🤷‍♀️

So, send an email or DM that even passes through a Windows machine with Recall turned on and it's screenshotted, swept into OCR, processed by Copilot and stashed away in perpetuity. Recall reminds me a lot of the backdoor the FBI wanted Apple to build. The FBI said it would be safe because only the FBI would have access to it. Apple rightly pointed out that no, something that powerful would inevitably get hacked and abused in ways no one could control. Now, Microsoft is trying to say that the guardrails it has put on Recall will curb any unintended consequences and we're supposed to take that at face value?

Oh, ok, Yahoo. That's interesting. I have another idea: fuck you.

Anyway, if Google, Microsoft, Meta, X, OpenAI, Apple, & many others can steal other people's work for their own ends, so can we.

Learn to torrent. Bring back Napster & Limewire. Discover LibGen and Anna's Archive. Hell, give money to the Internet Archive, too.

If there are no intellectual property rights restricting big tech, there are also no intellectual property rights restricting us.

Start by torrenting cracked big-tech apps, but on low priority, cuz books & music & video are better.

J’avais vu passer cette réf et je trouvais ça sympa pour un fanart CaitVi, tout doux et calme. #arcane #FediArt #caitvi #procreate

@afreytes @NaClKnight There is a 4K release of season 1 so far, I've got a copy on my shelf 😊

I cannot summarize the anti-thought nature of the AI fad more clearly than to note that at the same time Firefox is forcing AI into our browsers, the Firefox spellcheck does not recognize the phrase "convolutional neural network"

I really can't get over how irresponsible it is for MS to tell people to throw away or recycle perfectly working computers. There are so many machines people *could* keep using for much longer if not for Windows 11.
