New Media Thread 2025.

This thread is going to be a small journal of new things that I do/watch/play/etc

And what a pick for the first 2 and a half hours of the year. I don't know that I'd watch the Godfather Part 3 over this, if made to chose, but it certainly is the better movie of the 2.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

This would be hilarious if it didn't make me want to puke into the mouth of whoever pushed for this.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Australia: Vaccines are literally curing cancer here

USA: But what if it makes kids really really like sonic the hedgehog
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

You mean the machine that uses my art and work to encourage mentally ill people to kill themselves and manipulate their spouse?

Still massively against
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

DOGE is disbanding after an estimated 600,000+ people died in other countries because of USAID cuts to lifesaving food and medication.

Cr*nchy continues to be the worst. Go give your sub money to Discotek instead.
Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

New article on ★ daiz.moe

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it).

not surprised a movie about deconstructing harmful black-and-white narratives that promote violence and knee-jerk hatred of the other is unpopular with evangelicals
I guess the songs are pretty solidly anti-shame. Can't have that!

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Donald Trump is retaliating against MTG for forcing a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files. Incredible. No notes.
Trump pulls his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, calls her “Wacky” in quotes and encourages a primary challenger.

It’s important to remember that Donald Trump doesn’t like even the people around him that praise him 24/7z The only people he ever seemed to genuinely like were Roy Cohn and Jeffrey Epstein
I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.
Trump: “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene…”

Valve Steamcast

SteamStation 2

Here Lies Xbox, once regarded fondly, now just regarded with shock. Surprised that it's even still around.

Are these anything?
Yesterday Valve announced a new suite of Steam gaming hardware that includes a console-like Steam Machine, a standalone VR headset, and a new Steam Controller.

We've got previews of each device and we've spoken to Valve about them. Catch up here: www.eurogamer.net/tech-valve-a...
