we've created a no AI notice that we'll be using to reassure people seeing our trailers and games, with hand drawn lettering and a relaxing cute sleepy fox, and it's also up on itch in multiple formats for anyone to use: https://eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-ai-notice
options include with/without fox, opaque/transparent, and 4k, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p resolutions
@deKay I played Reverie Under the Moonlight a couple years back and came away fairly unimpressed. It was a bit too linear for my tastes. Gameplay aside I found it really dark which clashed with the apparently childish appearance of the protagonist. I'm tempted to give this one a try if it's better than its predecessor mostly because I'm a sucker for metroidvanias.

"Because big tech platforms essentially do not have customer support and make it impossible for their users to contact a human, many people experiencing run-of-the-mill tech problems have turned to ChatGPT. And, increasingly, ChatGPT is telling people that have normal tech support problems that they have discovered something journalistically notable and that 404 Media, specifically, can help them. Around two weeks ago, we started emailing these people back and asking them how they found us; universally, the answer is that an AI chatbot recommended they reach out to us and, in many cases, the chatbot wrote the email, according to reviews of a handful of ChatGPT conversations shared with 404 Media.
Over the last few months, 404 Media has gotten dozens of clearly AI-generated story leads and tips, many of which appear to have been copy pasted directly from ChatGPT or other chatbots into an email client by a real human. Some of these tips are (or could be) of legitimate public concern and we are happy to get them and to look into them. Many, though, are not."

Dear fedi I'm livid. An acquaintance of mine almost finished college and after doing an *unpaid* six months internship was offered a follow-up contract for less than 500€ a month. If you wonder why European young people are mad that's pretty much why.
I'll be doing anything in my power to make sure he'll never work there so if you have an opening or internship for a young person starting his career let me know.
He'll finish the equivalent of a bachelor in computer science in May next year, has done some six months of hands-on work in security and is one hell of a worker. I can personally vouch for him. He's based in Italy and can do both in-person and remote work, and might be able to relocate to the NL and possibly the UK if need be.
Boosts appreciated.
Long time no absurd post for Dune Sietchposting, so here's a fresh one.
