Wir machen Reiches geheime Gaspläne sichtbar!
Trotz drastischer Folgen fürs Klima setzt Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche auf den Ausbau fossiler Gasinfrastruktur. Wo? Das will die Bundesregierung verschweigen. Mit der interaktiven Karte schaffen wir gemeinsam Transparenz. fragdenstaat.de/gemeinsam-ge...

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

I mean, couldn't I just let the Ai read the 90minutes of reading & summarize? Also, like hell I would do such a thing. I will not conflate answers with learning, product with experience. And how dare they sell us this crap and expect anyone to be ok with it...
I've been having too much fun with Photoshop lately
Scott McCloud "Explaining Comics" panels where one is himself in a cartoony style and the second is in a realistic style, In the first panel he says, "That's why I decided to draw myself in such a simple style." In the second he says, "Would you have listened to me if I looked like this??" The first panel has been edited to be labeled "DLSS 5 Off", the second edited with "DLSS 5 On"

The Moby games page of the game "Slay the Spire 2" with the "contribute" button circled in red.
The "contribute" page with the "correction" button circled in red.
As was said before, you can send a correction. I've added some screenshots on how to get there. First tab or click on the "contribute" button. Then there is a "correction" option. I assume you need a Moby games account though.
The idea generator in #MakeRoom picks a few random words from an array and displays them (like; "cozy green bedroom"). I can guarantee you this does not use AI 😅
