Hey Bluesky!
I'll lose my job in ~1 month, and I'm not eligible for any unemployment benefits. The job market in Belgium really sucks rn, so I could definitely use some work as a freelance.
If you're looking for AI-free, high quality French localisation for your indie game, I'd love to help! 👋

talking about this with peers. a couple of things:
1) who produced this "dub?" amazon or aniplex or someone else?
2) who worked on it? someone had to engineer it. what software was used? there is ONE LINE of info, haha.
also, if I were a news outlet, I'd be reaching out to aniplex for comment.

For the past four years I've been working to expand our Premium catalog for Kodansha titles, and it finally happened! There's so much cool new stuff to read that I struggled with how to properly get the word out about all the new series 😅

Literally, my fiancé’s mom walked into our apartment and asked about Facebook which we haven’t used in 6 years. 🙃

Trying to try get my next batch of meds which is going to be about $750 with GoodRx ($1800 about it) and is one of my “keeps my condition stable” meds. I don’t anticipate I’ll be able to get it, but I’d like to get the other $100, which include my “keeps me alive” medication
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.
Pay Cypress Catwell using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/cycatwell and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

this point really hits the nail on the head of why localization workers are so frustrated by “AI” loc companies.
freelancers have to beg for a single dollar wage increase, while tens of millions are dumped into a machine designed to replace them.
the machine doesn’t even work. freelancers do.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.
