Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

IMPORTANT

Discord is joining the ID bullshit

Do as the images say and disable updates, and start looking for alternatives. If you value your privacy you need to abandon ship and tell them to fuck off. I'm gonna look at some options for my community. This is a dark era and it will only get worse

Maine caved and enacted a trans sports ban at the University level but it's still not enough.

Stop capitulating, they won't stop taking from you. They'll keep going until there's nothing left.

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

This is great advice, instead of screenshots of the 150th anti-woke grifter this week, boost something positive, talk about something you like, get eyeballs on some neat indie games that's underappreciated, it mightn't get you big numbers as a sweet dunk, but can make a real difference to small devs
Fun game for games sphere folks: any time you see awful behavior, instead of sharing it, go scan the Indie Game feed or Game Development feed for something that looks cool but isn't getting much traction, and share that instead

I promise it'll make ya feel better, ditto for your followers

There are scripts in this thread for GOP reps and Dem reps, and the first bailout point is 15 seconds. All of us can do 15 seconds.

Please do 15 seconds.
hi, cis folks! meet HB28. it's a sports ban on trans athletes. but actually, it's the first step to something much worse—see below.

45 sec call scripts for democrats & republicans in congress follow. if you've been saying you'd stand with trans people, now's the time.🧵

so please aaron, fucking grow a spine and stand up for the users who share your dream of a safe and civil and welcoming space, by realizing that people who dont want that SHOULDNT BE MADE TO FEEL WELCOME HERE.

the trans community's shoulders are getting tired carrying moderation for this platform.
