Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3
My streamer friend Jojo made a chibi of me! It came out really cute c:

Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!
You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess. Here’s the interesting story: Duralex, the manufacturer, was heading for liquidation. Investors that wanted to buy it existed, but they wanted to fire a lot of employees. So the court agreed to a different solution: create a cooperative, make Duralex workers owned. Now give them a hand and buy their glasses instead of the typical IKEA stuff, ok? :) https://eu.duralex.com/en-eu/collections/all-our-products

#TTRPG stuff bleeding into real life:
I'm a forever GM. Years ago, I was in a union negotiation with one of my players backing me up as co-rep.
I scored the biggest victory of my life as a union rep. I don't think they ever fully understood either, which made it even better.
Outside ACAS, my player says, "did they just fuck themselves?"
Me: "Maybe. Why would you think that?"
Him: "because you started using your DM-when-we're-about-to-do-something-really-stupid voice"
So there’s this company in USA that makes clothes for transmac/nb people and it’s closing because they can’t get funding to invest in more material… they release the designs with measurements so you can make your clothes and to pass on all the research they did to make shirts and trousers and jumpers that fit as you would like a cis male garment fit but they don’t because you have hips or butt or you don’t bind… I’m sharing the link.

" #AI is not magic. LLMs are not sentient beings, and they won’t become sentient. And the problems with these technologies aren’t abstractions — they’re here now and we need to take them seriously today.
"'People’s lives are at stake, but not because of some super intelligent system,' [researcher Joy] Buolamwini says, 'but because of an overreliance on technical systems. I want people to understand that the harms are real, and that they’re present.'"

cringetober 5: ms paint
I have fondest memories of the version of MS Paint bundled with windows 3.1 up to 98.
i used a web-app to emulate a familiar experience.
