Artists, Designers, Creative people. Please stop giving your work away, and don't charge minimum wage or less for it either. A plumber will start at $50 just to show up, why do you think you're worth less than that for an entire finished project? You've worked hard to learn what you know!

This is hardly a new observation; Katelyn Burns did a piece on this a few days ago ( www.burnsnotice.com/democrats-mu... ). But every day shit like this happens Pritzker is undermining his own position. You can't be outraged at one flavor of state based terror while greenlighting another.

Democrats Must Kill Their Inner Cops

Who needs the National Guard when your state troopers are perfectly willing to crack protester skulls all on their own? Listen, Illinois governor JB Pritzker is not perfect, but he's my guy. Or at le...

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

More states need to follow their lead. These corporations shouldn’t be getting more handouts that passes the buck on to everyone else. Residential should not be shouldering the costs of commercial.

In New Jersey a bill has been introduced to make sure data centers pay for electricity they use. This power surcharge would go toward modernizing the state’s electric grid.

The amount of people who use that argument “Nazis were socialists!” really shows how poorly educated a large swath of the public is.

Remember: they just need to keep the shell game moving quarter to quarter to appease shareholders and the money funneling in. They're only in trouble when they can't move the money to a new spot.

This seems to be related to the Discord/Zendesk data leak. People are getting “law enforcement request” emails from random company Zendesk support emails with the subject line mentioning Discord. Seems pretty wide spread and people are talking about it here. www.reddit.com/r/Scams/s/5C...

Same. It’s great to see someone actually stand up to Trump. But right now it feels mostly performative. And at the end of the day he is still a rich politician, I trust him about as much as any other rich shitbag.

Found out a really cool thing Photoshop does now when I just sent an article out for proofing. If you start your working document in CMYK, Photoshop does not care when you use the export panel. Will convert it right back to RGB if it feels like it! Gotta use Save Copy As. 🤦‍♂️

Mine and Craig’s new song is out now!

I don’t know what genre this is - it’s got a bit of ska, bit of pop, rap, electronic… but we like it and we hope you do too! 😆

Oh hell yeah. I played through this version on Twitch using my phone to scan text and translate it. Honestly, I enjoyed it way more than the Sega CD version.
