That’s good of them. We’ll see what their Canva overlords think of those nice intentions 🫡

Awh fuck. I bought a lifetime thing for the whole Affinity studio like two years ago when it was on sale. Is there a decent alternative to Affinity? I would rather not go back to GIMP for images, just cos the UI/UX isn’t so smooth!

Oh no, when did they get bought by those ghouls?

It’s pretty clearly a somewhat insulting caricature of JK Rowling, who has made it clear that she doesn’t like trans people.

Why would the purpose be to comment on the maturity of trans people?

It’s bullshit. It’s inauthentic. It can be useful for chewing through data, but even then the output can’t be trusted. The only people I’ve met who are absolutely thrilled by it are my bosses, who are two of the most frustrating, stupid, pig-headed, petty people I’ve ever met. I wish it would go away. I’m quitting my job next week, taking a big paycut and barely being able to pay the bills, specifically because those two people are unbearable. They also insist that I use AI as much as possible.

Nah cos you’re right, they’re shit - but if we’re talking about a future where these models are unfortunately used by uncreative dorks enough that they harvest enough music to become good, it’ll be a sad day.

It’s just deeply inauthentic. I’d feel tricked if I listened to a song that I enjoyed and found out it was actually a meaningless machine printout.

Get this AI slop out of here

Oh wow no way what a surprise I wonder if Paul’s agent has a chunk missing from his bank account and I wonder if that same amount of money appeared in Tyson’s agent’s bank damn wow how crazy who could’ve seen this coming?

Honestly tho, if you paid to watch a convicted rapist, and somebody credibly accused of sexual assault fight you’re kinda weird as fuck

Hemorrhoids.

Thanks! I actually did consider it but my landlady won’t allow pets, and if I’m honest I both can’t afford and am too disorganised to take good care of something living. Good suggestion, tho!

Heya man, thanks for sharing. I hope you’re doing okay. That sounds tough, and it’s a hard realisation that love isn’t always enough on its own - relationships take work outside of love, and that has certainly felt like a disheartening realisation for me. It feels the world is a little less magic now, but that’s okay - there are better things coming for us both, that we will be better equipped to handle correctly with what we’ve learned from this. Happy Monday!

Sad, sometimes, and a little lonely most of the time. Been through a rough breakup this year. But getting better all the time! Hope you’re well!

I have adblock on my Mac, but not on the PS5. Whenever I watch YouTube on my TV via PS5, I have to open and close videos sometimes 10 or 15 times before they just play the video I’ve clicked on and not some obnoxious 45 second long advert for some bullshit I don’t want and won’t use. Honestly not sure why YouTube finds it so hard to play the video I clicked on and not random other videos. I also tend to stop watching vids as soon as an ad break happens.

I work with a marketing department full time and they’re exactly as annoying as expected, always pissing about on tiktok or Instagram creating shit that nobody could possibly feasibly care about.

Is there an alternative to YouTube on PS5 that doesn’t have adverts? Or is there some way to get adblocking on there?

Not that they’ve announced yet, I just meant more broadly I am very sick of advertising and adverts

Can one thing please not be full of adverts :( I’ll pay for the browser, I just want marketers to fuck off for a while lol
