ルビーちゃん<p>Hey! I'm looking to start an itch.io game bundle for queer game developers. Your game doesn't have to be about being trans or queer or even feature queer characters. I want to start the bundle for the main purpose of raising money for queer people that need it.</p><p>Your game can be really weird! Your game can be unfinished! It can be long or short! I want to not only raise money for developers like us, but I want to get eyes on our little or big projects. I'm aiming to have the bundle run for two weeks in May starting on the 17th!</p><p>There will be no tiers and money will be distributed equally amongst the developers. I want to help support developers like myself that are often overlooked by people. Not all of us have the time or money to make a long game or even a complete game, but I want to get us more money to hopefully feel securer in life each year and maybe give us more resources for our passion projects, or more importantly, things like food! </p><p>If you're interested feel free to reply here and I'll DM you!</p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>Queer</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/itch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="\_blank">#<span>itch</span></a></p>

Filippo Valsorda :go:<p>It’s disheartening to see AI reactionism lead my community to a 180° on copyright.</p><p>Everyone is merrily attacking LibGen now. If it didn’t exist, big tech companies would still find training data, it just wouldn’t be accessible to regular people.</p>
