I need one healthy person to be my #advocate. Just one. I realised everyone I know is #sick, #disabled, going through their own crisis, or unwilling. Mostly the first 3 though.

Lots of respectable straight folks who are silent when Pat Robertson spread the most vicious blood libel about queer people, praising the AIDS pandemic for killing us, are now clutching their pearls at our dancing on his grave.

Too bad. Civility doesn’t go only one way, even for the dead.

Can I haz build you amazing professional website? My name changes daily and I live in India and can make websites, e-commerce, and dynamic. Very inexpensive prices. Let me know what you think.

still reeling from reading a thread yesterday where a project leader was like "we're moving off reddit because platforms owned by corporations consistently ruin the communities built on them; this happens every time and we want to get away from it, any suggestions?" and a bunch of people were like "what about discord"

I cannot begin to comprehend what is going on in the mind palace of this kind of reply guy; did you even read the question

Obligatory #introduction post:

I'm a programmer with a checkered past as a user experience specialist. I also write and publish sci-fi and fantasy stories. And I speculate about the future, in ways that have a frustrating habit of coming true.

Books (Duplicate, We Were Gods, End Game, and Roughskin Magic) are at alexfeinman.net or online elsewhere.

I wrote a bunch of stuff on Medium that may be of interest; will link the best here.

Creepy thought:

Somewhere out there, ad tech has figured out someone really needs to transition, well in advance of that person's internal realization.

How can we protect that person's process and privacy?

The goal is to destroy public venues of discourse. A divided society is a weaker, more malleable society.

#TomGauld, folks!

I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.

I want to render clouds under the feet of the player in VR, as if they’re standing on clouds. Do any of my Unreal friends know if this is easily achievable in #Unreal engine? (Ie. is this something possible to do with built in sky/clouds or should I look at either scrolling textures or volumetric stuff?) 5.0+ is fine.. I’m just starting to research this, so any help to get to the answers quicker will be totally appreciated! Thanks muchly.

Done for the night! I came straight from soccer, which is why late and why soccer jersey and why no make-up! The shirt mostly got keyed out 😅. Thanks to @CanadianRage for the raid, I raided https://www.twitch.tv/tawejea, who is playing KQ4! Long live EGA text parser adventure games!🎉

@ajroach42 Yep, bigtime.

I'd had that realisation a few years ago. Turns out others had as well. Elizabeth Eisenstein, The Printing Press as an Agent of Change. Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, Robert McChesney, Chomsky, etc., etc.

Media is the nervous system of society. Change the nervous system, and you change the society.

We've had pre-oral cultures, oral cultures, written cultures, epistolary cultures, press-based cultures, newspaper culture. Telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph, radio, television, cable, the Internet, and mobile networking have all left their marks. Often highly disruptive at the time.
