I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Ahahahahaha this is like super villain level shit.

It’s funny cuz unlike say, Amazon there is no compelling or legitimate argument to make for the necessity of using this garbage app, for anyone. If you have access to Spotify, you have access to less evil alternatives.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Important thread.
ok, woke up with another reason why this wikipedia sell out has me so angry...

I've long held up gifting economy models like wikipedia (and reddit and craigslist and buy nothing) as #Solarpunk In Real Life, here today, manifesting the better world I want to see.

I've donated to wiki precisely cuz they said "donate to us so we won't sell out to the AI corps" and... they sold out to the AI corps.

Meanwhile, I'm busy filing my 40 claims in class action against Anthropic for stealing my books.

Edit for wiki? So they can sell MORE of my labor to AI corps?

no

Otimizar é definir um objetivo como o central e ajustar tudo para atingir esse objetivo. Pense no que a otimização do conteúdo para aparecer em buscas (SEO) fez com o jornalismo, por exemplo. E veja o que está acontecendo agora que o Google, deus ao qual foi feito esse sacrifício, mudou de ideia.

It's a pretty cool thing, if I, an initial test player who grew up with two of the devs, say so myself. Pretty cool way to have fun with friends, or let kids figure out creative strategies. Support indie creators, etc. ^^

I'm not entering this giveaway because this really feels like it should go to someone in the US, but reskeeting for the genius of "to participate reply with one way you resisted fascism this week."
Anyway! I'm going to give away one copy this week. If you'd like to be considered, please reply to this post with one way you resisted fascism this week. Can be very small and calling your reps absolutely counts. I'll choose someone at random tomorrow.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.
