- istg, youtube better not be sunsetting the page showing videos from subscribed channels in upload order. first they hid the button to go to that page in a less intuitive place, now they covered up nearly the whole page with a new "Most Relevant" section to make it look identical to the home page

- Adobe announced it's killing off Animate (formerly Flash), abandoning millions of artists who depend on the software while continuing its push into AI-heavy toolsets. www.cartoonbrew.com/tools/adobe-...
- just spent 3 straight days writing, recording and editing a 53-minute video before realizing it had absolutely no business being that long and I was unhappy enough with the result to feel the need to at least start over from near-scratch if not just scrap the whole thing, whoops
- well I was close, I guess Twigs' lack of pop success felt less music industry-coded to me but she has been around longer and did a throwback-y thing so that makes sense. anyway, meh to these categories bsky.app/profile/256p...

- Reposted by 256 Pi / The Wonky Anglestop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

- I've appealed this, and I know this system is automated and likely didn't have a real person looking at it to know this is fair use, but istg what a look it would be if the label were to send me a takedown notice on behalf of the guy who made my #1 favorite album of the entire year

Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

- Reposted by 256 Pi / The Wonky Anglewhile KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

- Reposted by 256 Pi / The Wonky AngleTomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why
- #savespeech #stopKOSA ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup. This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House. Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

- Reposted by 256 Pi / The Wonky AngleIt would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
- Reposted by 256 Pi / The Wonky AngleThis is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
- #SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org
