I was halfway to switching to proton a few months ago and am now moving to fastmail. Not US-based, less security-forward than proton (for what that's worth 🙃), but importantly very easy migration tools and imo a better UI overall
I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons
Ooh what changed between versions?
What an expertly called shot
A stock photo of a man holding a phone wearing a shirt that says “I PERSONALLY ENDORSE EVERY BAD THING IN THE MEDIA I WATCH. MAY THEIR CRIMES ONE DAY BE MY OWN”
Working on a t-shirt to sell to the weird people that show up in your mentions every time you talk about enjoying something that has crime or impure thought in it.
I admit i doubted

This is *the* most definitive let's play of all time.
i am begging people to understand that "death of the author" (rejecting the concept of a fixed, canonical meaning for art completely dictated by its creator's intent) is not the same thing as "separating the art from the artist" (coward's apologia)
You will all regret letting me do this
“I’d take entrail divination over generative AI” 🔥🔥🔥
Twitter post from @rifflexielian: "Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being
There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.
Those who don’t remember the web before platforms, tend to believe that for 10 years web users stared at their monitors in anticipation. Actually they were made to believe it. First by Web 2.0 proponents, and nowadays by aggressive Web3 campaigns that rewrite the history by stating that Web1 was a dull, passive, read only place.
Though, the opposite was the truth, the web before platformization was the place where users owned, wrote and also read. In this post I collected a lot of screenshots that refute the picture or “read only” web before or outside of social networks and hosting services. The websites they represent were tagged by me during the last 13 years as “before_…”. For example “before_ wikipedia”, “before_ebay”, “before_airbnb”. Not all the tags are mentioned here. Also not all the files that we have for a particular tag are represented. I hope it gives an idea of web users being able to organize their own content and provide services to each other.
“read, write, own” web

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same
Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
Trump doesn't care about TikTok.
He just cares that it's catering to him now. So he likes it today.
And now TikTok is openly supporting Trump as a company, for their own self-serving reasons.
So many companies & figures are falling over themselves to capitulate.
A man says "I just finished another watch of Hunter x Hunter and I have now spent 3 hours thinking very hard about what my nen ability would be." Another man replies "you're 38..." The first man goes back to poring over an arcane shit of rules and says "yes, I have factored that into my calculations."

I finished teaching my Playful Theory class, a seminar for studio artists focused on games.
It was my first academic course in the post-ChatGPT era, so I tried out a few strategies to handle students potentially skimming readings and submitting AI-generated response papers.

THERE'S CBDQ FOR BLUE SKY HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT????? HOLY SHIT
For no especial reason, few actions that are arguably never wasted:
* Tell someone how much you appreciate them/their work.
* Feed someone. (You're someone!)
* Make something. Tear it up after, if you want. But make it.
* Ask someone how they are, then listen.
* Be kinder than is your instinct.
This is a good descriptor.
"This is what an answer to your question might look like" (based on the shape of other answers to questions)
"This is what your image might look like"
(based on actual art like what you asked for)
It's all about output in the approximate shape of other things.
