Perhaps Some Will Disagree, But I Think The World Got Worse When We Changed The Colour Of The Night

#you know, I’m something of a fungus myself

Tumblr Tuesday: Day of the Mushroom

Happy Tuesday, and a happy Day of the Mushroom to all who celebrate those delicious, brainy lifeforms. Whether you love them or loathe them, please feast your eyes on these delightful depictions of all manner of fungi—many but not all of which were created during @feefal's #funguary art challenge.

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

in honor of the Oblivion remaster coming out I'd like to remind everyone of this absolute classic that singlehandedly changed my entire attitude towards life

📺 How Anyone Can Save Video Game History | Preserving Play

Preserving Play is a documentary web series that follows those doing the work, preserving video game history. Through this series I hope the viewer will learn more about preservation, know why it's important, and get involved.

Preserving Play 1 follows Andrew Czudak of the Hitsave! nonprofit, as he explores how he got into video game preservation and how there's room for anyone to get involved as well!

So, save your disks.
