UBI wouldn't fix everything but I'd have a much easier time being alive

How much does it cost to advertise on youtube??? How much are people spending to try & force me to see rogan listening intently to a creationist or whatever? Almost half the ads I see when I open the app to manage a playlist or whatever are like real life illegal

wild how youtube will just bombard you with sub-bottom shelf scams & righwing misinfo & calls to violence & you don't even get a clear option to say for example "this isn't even an advert for a thing it's just a virus website illegally using the likeness of jimmy MrBeast" or "this is hate speech"

I spent a decade of my life creating game assets, the result is a lot of game assets. They're free, no ads, no tracking, no registration, no subscription, no permission needed, no need for attribution and suited for any use including commercial.

We don't live in a realistic world anymore. The sky is turning red in places because their world is on fire; either because of the mass murder of children or because the powers being drawn upon to murder them are killing the only planet we live on. The difference is, in fiction some weirdo would be fistfighting buff Joe Biden atop some symbolic superstructure

The fact we live in a time of empires brutalising the lower classes to death for short-term power in the face of a number of world-scale threats doesn't stop being true just cos the emperors call themselves some other boring thing & use artillery & drones instead of dragons or robots or whatever

If your response to someone pointing out that art is in fact political, is to accuse them of hating escapism...
Well first of all you're probably an incurious and weak-willed goon but also too narrow minded to understand how *being able to do something about politics* is an escapist fantasy to most

Idk it's hard to get into tech when you're my kind of disabled, because the "getting into" process is kind of just being given tasks by people who don't understand what they're asking you to do, and then they fire you for being visibly overworked to the point of despair

Imagine telling someone in the 00s that writing software for a chain of shops, a financial services company and a CRM company wouldn't even pay off a credit card despite the fact I don't have dependants, have "cheap" rent for my area, don't drink or smoke or drive or any expensive stuff like that.

If I had a penny for every insane decision I've had to deal with in someone else's codebase, it would almost come to a competitive rate for the work I did over 6 years trying to be normal in offices

Probably 75% of the cost of software in terms of power draw/time pollution is the result of development becoming an adult daycare job

fun fact: the number of transistors in a high-end CPU is just now passing the number of stars in our galaxy.

I'm so fucking excited about my current project but I'm trying to keep internal pressure high

*non-game journalist writing about video games* many people may not realize that video games are big business. in fact, many millions of people actually play video games, sometimes multiple times. the games industry is so big, in fact, by 2025 it's reported to eclipse movies, TV, agriculture, oil, and the military. so who are gamers, and who makes their games? we take a look into the weird world of video game creators. called 'developers', these geeky nerds actually make games using a computer

re last awoo: google and all big companies like it are deeply fucking pathetic

so apparently google have added a little bit of JS to youtube that adds a delay for loading, but only if your useragent is Firefox.
