I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
I was recently on vacation, chatting with a seemingly nice Canadian. Then he starts going on and on about "how entitled" and "lazy" Indigenous people in Canada are, "all they want are more handouts."
I know all eyes are on America being the psycho clown next door, but this needs more daylight:
Aye. Especially for the smaller creators. I guess all we can really do is keep doing our thing, enjoy what we have and leave that mug's game to folks who want to drop 50 grand to force themselves into everyone's feeds only to be forgotten in a year.
Oh yeah, big time. I hadn't even thought about that aspect until it got to that part of the video. That's a lot of cash being used to create fake 'organic content' or whatever they call it now.
It's bad enough with individuals not disclosing, the sheer scale of this is a whole other level.
Says an awful lot about them that Kick are paying so much money to push this dude, and others like him 😬
I remember getting emails about a similar clipping service promising me huge growth, etc. etc. and the examples of success they gave were some really horrible people.
This video was VERY interesting
It’s basically breaking down how the clipping economy works and more importantly the operations at play that are pushing these “creators” into every algorithm by force
Needless to say this is why I used Bluesky

Image for the game Cairn. Featuring a climber climbing up a slight overhang with a top rope hanging down from above. The sun is low to the horizon lighting half the rockface in orange light. A cartoony version of Stephen has been added climbing below them.
Off to Cairn we go again 😊

fell for it again award
Wooooo! 🐲🐲🔥🔥
Yup, it exists and it's improving. That's already 99.9% better than most 🥳
So you just need to add a blanket node to the game before you release the demo. Sorted 😄
This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.

"Uh, we had a slight reality shift malfunction, but, uh… everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine, we're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"
Stream is starting soon, see you there?

Did you think we were done?! We're just getting started! 😈
We're back tonight with episode 2 of Delta Shift! Things are getting intense as we enter a rift & explore the civilian ship Loss. My character's data pad has been taken over and getting strange messages? From themself? 🤔 I'm sure it's fine.
Game Design Winner 2026 Blue Prince

We are so excited to have been awarded the Game Design award at the BAFTA Games Awards today!
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees from a fantastic year in gaming.
Heck yeah! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉
Ouch 😅
Yeah very much so
Yeah exactly. And I get that the kids misusing it (especially the white kids) don't know the proper meaning. But they can't even learn that if every article on it says it's 'gen z slang' and deliberately hides where it's been taken from.
Like, there's an esports team I'm a fan of and folks refer to the older player who is always supporting and advising the newer players as Unc. As a sign of respect.
And I know language changes with time, but it's sad to see stuff get so quickly stripped of meaning, origin and value, y'know.
I know things can be two things at once but it's really shitty how the media will constantly brand things as 'something slang' rather than even just acknowledge AAVE as the source.
I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like
trying to post through it rn
Think about this: The leader of the Senate Democrats just voted against 85% of his caucus all to keep sending bulldozers to Israel, so it can continue to demolish Palestinian and Lebanese people's homes.

Giving Exit 8 a look tonight, and we'll check out a couple of demos as well too😊

Meld (the streaming software) launched an a/i thing called "Sparks" where you type in a prompt and get a canvas or effect for your stream. Congrats, your aesthetic is now whatever the a/i says it is, and it's going to wind up looking the same as everyone else's. 🧵
