3 panel comic Panel 1: A Pink Guy has spray painted the words “All billionaires are scum” on a blue wall. Pleased with his work, he looks at the reader and gives a thumbs up. Panel 2: An Orange Guy comes into shot and snatches the can of spray paint out of the Pink Guy’s hand. He looks angry and yells “Hey!” Panel 3: The Orange Guy has changed the message so it now reads “All billionaires are scumbag pedophiles. Both the Pink Guy and the Orange Guy give the reader a thumbs up.

Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

Fuck AI and anyone who uses it. Fucking brain dead.

NIS game always hold a special place in my heart and I play them for comfort sometimes.

All I’m going to say about recent happenings is that the people in charge of my government continue to work overtime to convince me that I am a horrible person and the reason for everything bad that is happening. Feels real welcoming

Bit-by-bit artists will start vanishing from corpo sites like Bluesky when we offend delicate Fascist sensibilities.

Voice to Text feature using Open AI As I was reading the Murena’s terms of use I discovered that the voice to text feature introduced with e/OS/ 3.0 is using the Open AI API. That means our voice is sent to Open AI so they can translate...

Apple and Google both provide support for offline speech-to-text using local models. Users can configure it to be fully offline.

The Murena Voice to Text service in /e/OS sends the user's audio to OpenAI which is hidden away in their terms of service:

Woah, US Copyright Office (USCO) Director is suing the Administration for her firing!

KEEP CALLING! The pressure is working! We need people to be calling every day until they take the AI regulation ban out of the bill!

Don't know who to call or what to say? Check out my cheat sheet: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Gotta love calling your representatives to make sure they don't pass a bill that could lead to the downfall of your career. ;-;

Volume render of the microCT-scanned skull of a very young black bear cub in side view (above) along with (below) a simulated x-ray showing the replacement (adult) dentition within the jaws along with the deciduous (baby) teeth in place. Pro tip: For the lower image, I digitally deleted the left half of the skull so the right half would be clearer and not cluttered by the superimposition of left and right hand structures.

We microCT-scanned the young black bear cub we shared here last week. Undergrad Grace Vance's dissection was perfect so it's worth sharing here & eventually on MorphoSource. We had scanned the adult male skull years ago so for fun I recreated a digital version of the photo I had posted.🐻

I feel like an idiot for wanting to pre-order the Switch 2 but these next 4 years+ is going to be painful. It's a place of comfort so I'm going to get it for such.

Honestly, this reminds me of bandcamp and those limited edition cassettes. Seems like a really fun idea and I may try to convince my other game dev buddies to look into an idea like this! :3 Would love to see this become a thing.
