STOP DON'T SCROL

I am Osama Al-Anqar and my wife's name is Rana Raed Al-Anqar. We have a little girl.

We used to live in our house in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood. We used to live in peace and security and I had a job, but the war came and took everything from me,

first of all my brother Mahmoud, who was martyred in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital. He left behind his children and wife, and my brother Ahmed, whose front leg was amputated in the same bombing. I lost my house, my family's house, and my job. Now we have become homeless, moving from one place to another. We are gripped by fear, terror, and hunger. My daughter suffers from extreme fear and panic, and suffers from lack of food and skin diseases due to the lack of water and cleanliness.

We are in dire need of your help. We call on you to fund this fund to save my family and provide safe shelter, food, drink, and health care. Your donation is no matter what can happen to us in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more.

real. making a creature collector -- one that is actually quite similar to Pokémon -- in Turbowarp of all engines, and while the merits of an innate understanding of what i'm working with is nice, i have no idea how i'm going to make the collection aspect work with that local storage extensions; at bare minimum one creature has six individual parameters to decode and pack into the boxes on boot. rinse and repeat 30 times, and repeat that for however many storage boxes end up allowed and just... ough

a lot of what stifles me with web game dev is the urge to keep the save files small. i keep it very conservative to make sure the player doesn't bump into browser storage issues and i also like that you can just copypaste your save anywhere as a plain text string! however if i want to do anything complex then that becomes the bottleneck. at some point i'll get back into Godot and make the most gratuitously intricate simulation game i can come up with. parasitizing people's hard drives to incubate enormous procedural map files

the pilot for Pieces of Powder hit my yt recommended today and it absouletely floored me. the artstyle is wonderful, the animation is super well done, the voices are fantastic, it's beautiful in really almost every way. the dynamic between Powder and Marcy was so cute they fit eachother so well

i fixate on things easily but i can't remember the last time anything, especially an indie project, made me feel like this

powder is just like me -- the overthinking, hating the "get to know people" projects, etc. -- and i'm genuinely happy she has someone to gel with

10/10 please go watch if you haven't already

it's time for the subinterest cycle again -- this time we're back to the silli blobs game

the ffbf plushies are still amazing i love them -- shame the site's gone :(

you all see my vision right

want to highlight this absolutely fantastic Wikipedia paragraph

The beast is weakened...

Wuh oh wuh oh sick alert

feels kinda surreal with how long this game's been in the public eye

this is definitely art

never played Infinite Fusion is this real

LETS FUCKIN GO

here's the newest in the steaming batch of revelations about Google AI: it doesn't understand the concept of time

wanted to have something to show for myself with the ability forms trend

loving all the cool art in it, wanted to submit something silly cuz i like those ones, remembered i can't draw, then remembered i can sorta edit

(hey can ya guess which one i thought of first and which one took me like two hours)

I don't give a fuck if you hate Biden, but remember if T***p gets elected again, we will be going back to where abortions are illegal, LGBTQIA+ people have no rights, more hate, more police killing people, and tons of other shitty things

I don't care what you think about Biden, we just can't have the orange douchebag in the white house again

[Digital Circus Ep.2 SPOILERS!!]

what the fuck caine why would you do that

his entire reality shattered, then he was brought to a place where he could make new friends and have a decent old time and then you just kill him?? and the balls to just... snap? and then bam! confetti? caine you bastard make a notebook or have Bubble keep track or some shit don't break Pomni & our hearts like this man

Rhianna Pratchett confirming her father wouldn't be a """gender critical""" activist (whatever the hell those GCs stand for) if he were still alive

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.

Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.

By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.

You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?

i had a dream that due to a botched contract mcdonalds had accidentally agreed to individually sponsor every post on tumblr dot com so the site was unusable because everyone was just posting like 'cock sex cum' and then there'd be a giant integrated SPONSORED BY THE MCDONALDS CORPORATION banner underneath it and mcdonalds was losing millions of dollars on this

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

great question! glad to know the bots can spam with google play links now

I had a dream I was hugging Kieran from Pokémon.

10/10 would dream again.

Something I really don't understand about AI companies buying the rights to steal content from social media to feed their data training sets is, well. It's illegal as hell.

That content does not belong to the social media companies to start with. Personal data is a bit nebulous as it is, and some countries have better protection about it than others, but posting a picture on tumblr doesn't mean that Automatic automatically has the right to use, distribute and sell it as it sees fit.

I mean. Official accounts for big companies like Disney use social media for advertising. But posting a picture of Elsa on Twitter doesn't mean they're giving Twitter the right to use and sell that picture. But suddenly Twitter sells the nebulous ability to "scrape content from Twitter for AI training", so now Midjourney owns that picture of Elsa? What's the fucking ruling there?

People own the rights of what they have created even without officially registering it for trademarking (which is expensive as hell, by the way). Social media selling content means that they are selling copyrighted material created by its users- Some of it coming from big companies that have trademarked the shit out of everything, some of it coming from small creators who STILL have the rights to what they've created even without a trademark.

Curently, what you produce through AI generators is not actually copyrighted, since it was not made by a human, but what gets fed into the data training sets is often copyrighted material from unconsenting people. It basically is a copyright laundering scheme.

I do wholeheartedly hope that some regulations will be put in place, and hoping that big companies will, at least, do their best to help this case even if its just to protect their own IPs and property. Given how overprotective have Disney, Nintendo and other big names been about their content, I can't expect they'll be happy having it being sold to Midjourney, OpenAI and other crap for free, without their consent.

this may be my favorite turn i've ever had (i still lost)

Ogerpon (Hearthflame) paid req!

buy stickers, commission a pokemon, or support me on kofi!

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back
