This might be my final set of posts as I'm coming to terms with life after death...
Earlier this week I was given news I got a Stage 4 cancer after they discovered it in the hip was the same one in my Oesophagus.
Before anyone asks: I CANNOT BE CURED.

Thoughts after beating Pokemon Legends Z-A?
Mixed. Some inpacing including the side missions almost marred a fun experience but the main finale was incredibly good. Got to do some side mission cleanup and get the Floette... eventually

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel.
Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.
You lot do realise that's soon going to be a minimum requirement to use the Internet?
As frustrating as AgeID is, it won't disappear.
I am severely limiting my social media input just in case my life ceases to exist... I have cancer and my survival chances are slim. No sugarcoating it.
However I will poke on from time to time and check up on art.
Definitely feels like the original format. Somethink Sky butchered when they remade the show. but even with modern stuff, the spirit of the original is back so far!
Watching the Gladiators show while in hospital and WTF THEY REMADE THE ORIGINAL 90s THEME?! HOW MANY EPISODES HAVE I MISSED?!?!
Oh. Thats the ai bubble popping.
OH, THATS THE AI BUBBLE POPPING
Hey!
I have some open slots for commissions and now there is -10% discount on all commissions. 🥹
I'm currently in a very difficult financial situation, so if you're not looking for an artist yourself, but you know someone who is, I'd be grateful if you could recommend me ♥
It should click for you how many who ask for mutual aid online are disabled. Disabled people are likely to be in poverty & isolation. Disability makes life under capitalism precarious. That’s why disability justice is intertwined with getting rid of capitalism & why mutual aid is disability justice.
For fun I made a small list last night about it. I didn't forget. #AppreciateADragonDay
in SPITE of that, I appreciate all dragons. Maybe not the corrosive types, but you are all appreciated. #AppreciateADragonDay
Welp I kinda missed posting my Dragon OCs yesterday, but there is a perfectly valid reason. I'll get around to posting them soon.
tl;dr indigestion turned into something rupturing after being in pain for months.
Even the UK Comic Con events is at risk because of this stupid little addition. Well, least I know I can boycott it and know that their organisers might have to find a way of plugging their sinking ship ALONE.
Screenshot of the artshow page on the comicon website. Specifically here (3) Material produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be placed in the show, but only as Not-for-Sale (NFS). It must be clearly marked as Al-produced, not simply listed as a print. If one of the parameters in its creation was something similar to "Done in the style of ‹specific artist›," that information must be added to the description. If there are questions, the Art Show Coordinator will be the sole judge of acceptability.
Comic-Con should be a celebration of illustrators, comic artists, writers and so on. Elevating the actual craftsmen and women who make the works that fans love!
Instead it opens the door to slop that can only exist due to the stolen work of those same creatives, to then displace creatives. Gross!
Cygames EN posted a statement on the formation of the Cygames AI Studio and it really feels empty-handed. They claim they will notify players when they do eventually use GenAI in their products but do not mention if they will use it at a conceptual level. The easiest solution is DON’T USE IT AT ALL!
Just going to say this very carefully: if the news doesn't involve the UK, or is politics, I will mute or block it.
Unfortunately BlueSky's moderation (self-moderating) is on the poor side...
And copy badly it does, most of the time.
It was a bad actor?! Update your emails and passwords!!
I did the survey, but it looks like Discord mask has slipped and broken on the ground below...
Revolt/Stoat then..?
They took the survey down. This has happened with a lot of other companies who’ve feigned interest in the opinions of their users. They were going to implement AI regardless. They just wanted to act like they tried to consider otherwise.
Wolf vs Hare?
Let's hope after what what happened in MN, the pushback against ICE, and Trump's regime (and his accomplices) crumbles.
I am taking these words very seriously.
You may cripple, detain, and kill and edit us... but your time, and history will show you will be hated forever.
If you have a discord for documentation or research, whether for software or whatever, please please put some effort into backing up info somewhere else. So many entire communities efforts will just implode if something happens to discord
New year, New me, well, if I can combat the norovirus...
