Have you ever wondered how people can stream and protect their privacy online at the same time? Well, wonder no further! Mozilla asked me to give some tips, and I enlisted fellow Twitch streamers sage. 🍉 and DANGERDORK for advice too: blog.mozilla.org/en/internet-cu…

Twitch really said "It's been a week or two before I shot myself in the foot, now's a good time" and straight up said, in 2024, that your animated hips are too sussy for our innocent platform

Strongly considering locking my account after this change happens - but more than that, come visit me on bsky instead. I've been meaning to talk more over there and rebuild community on a platform with actual moderation tools.

Anyone who’s recently entered any content creator’s “like and retweet” Twitter giveaway is going to have to be patient with their creator... The primary tool used to draw winners has been killed my Elon’s legal team. I’m guessing folks are scrambling to find a replacement tool.

Okay, so let me get this straight—a Facebook page out of Pakistan fabricated a Halloween parade in Dublin, complete with AI-generated pictures, and it spread enough that people showed up for the parade that didn't exist. And that's totally fine by Meta? pcmag.com/news/crowds-ge…

Agreed—about to start streaming again just to spite this. Do better Twitch, come on. And yes, if you're seeing this and realizing there's a common thread among platforms and owners who "don't want to confront/make people uncomfortable" with takes like "I'm human," you're right.

We are on ULP strike. We gave The New York Times management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Just as a reminder: I am MUCH more active on Bsky than I am on Twitter these days, and if you follow me on Twitch, I'll likely be more active there soon too. Safety first, community next. Be good to each other.

Grateful to be quoted in this amazing piece about the history of The Oregon Trail! Excellent work Alex, and thanks for chatting with me about some of my earliest gaming memories!

my therapist once said "people don't abandon the people they love, they abandon the people they're using" and that was all the closure i needed.
