If you like an artist's original work and characters vs. commissioned work: ko-fi and patreon donations are *the only way* to free up that artist's time to do more of it. Even small tips are really important. If even 20 people donated $5 to me right now, I'd still have $100. It adds up.

I see artists trade their patreon and ko-fi links all the time and it seems sometimes like it's only other artists and a handful of regular followers that pass those round.

It really does help. Previous clients saying on comm ads they had a good experience also helps a lot too.

Something I miss from "old" Windows, is Windows Update not just hijacking your PC whenever it feels like.

Every day, I hate technology a bit more.
It's 2025, live streaming my tablet's shouldn't be difficult.
I can watch 4k video on Youtube, but can't send a highly-compressed 720p stream to Picarto.

Mirroring the screen to Windows, to stream it from there? It's Windows; you know it doesn't work!

After enjoying artisan chocolate all summer, the mass-produced stuff certainly hits different.
Very little flavor, and the texture is way off. Not just waxy, but I can feel the cocoa powder they used, as well.

Days later, I'm THIS close to being able to stack 5 captures of one tape together, just to find out if stacking that tape with another will improve the image quality further.

If you're in the U.S., put what you can into an IRA*. Find some good index funds to invest in. Make small weekly investments, rather than all at once. Don't panic when the market drops; it'll recover.
*open a Roth IRA if you don't need the tax deduction now. You won't pay taxes on the gains later!

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

I mean, we could tie the fuckers up, leave them naked in the woods, slathered in honey, and let nature take its course. It's an option.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

Android:

Don't give apps your
tracking ID!

One big way your Android phone tracks you is by making up an ID for itself and giving that to advertising companies, which eventually winds up in the hands of investigators. It calls this ID its "advertising ID." In the latest Android versions, you turn off delivery of this by going into the Settings app and navigate to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Ads. Tap "Delete advertising ID."

In older Android versions where that option isn't there you reset it instead, which protects you better if you do it often.

iPhone: Don't give apps your
tracking ID!

One big way your iPhone tracks you is by making up an ID for itself and giving that to advertising companies, which eventually winds up in the hands of investigators. It calls this ID its IDFA, or "ID for advertisers."

Whenever an app asks for this, you can click "Ask App Not to Track" and that app (and the creeps which sweep up information from it) won't be able to follow you! Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking to turn this off for apps you might have already allowed.

You can turn off another tracker by going to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising and set the "Personalized Ads" switch to "off"

Dave's specials felt like he was giving TED talks, and looked like they were recorded back to back in a single day.

Other comedians I'd seen on Netflix, ranged from just not funny to either sad or bitter.

Seeing a bunch of them dance for the Saudis isn't very surprising, at this point.

Jared Lindquist @jklind.bsky.social · 12d

...but if Netflix offers you more than you'd make in a year for just two shows, why would you continue the usual grind? Plus if the contract says the material is exclusive to their service, you CAN'T perform it on the road.
So you crap out a special, cash the check, and wait for them to call back.

Jared Lindquist @jklind.bsky.social · 12d

Seeing Dave's first couple of Netflix specials (among others) convinced me that Netflix had destroyed comedy. None of it felt workshopped or audience-tested.

Normally comedians go on tour with their latest set, but test out new material along the way, until they have a whole new show...

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 14d

and if you watch his most recent specials, it is true, his jokes aren’t funny. they aren’t even jokes, he’s mostly just a bad pundit these days.
