Haha, yeah, I made this thing a while back.

I understand the desire, to not be observed.

LLM prompters have neither soul or ethics, they're blatant thieves.

Weird Al's Off the Deep End. Such good music.

One of the most valuable pieces of advice an early mentor gave me was, "Support people who speak out."

"Which of your many accomplishments are you most proud of?"

The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind.

"Wait, when is our minds done growing?"

You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

All cat artists are beautiful (yes, that's you).

I want a document auto sorter: I drop files into it and it determines file type, tags it, and puts it in a well defined location.
music goes there, videos go over there, pdfs into the pdf library, etc etc

Mostly social media is so terrible and I want OFF, but then I go on TikTok or Instagram and see something like this and it’s like, no wonder it’s so hard to quit

Google literally did make search worse, and at the behest of ad revenue.

seven cartoon cats wearing socks. some have them on their feet, some on their tail or ears. one has made them into sock puppets

Drawing cats in hats and mittens reminded me of this that I drew a while ago.
Someone gave us some cat socks (as in socks for cats) for Christmas one year and I don't think we managed to get get a single one on a cat 😂

Yup. Day made right there

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a "delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

Yay for old toads!

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Good software stops changing when it's achieved "good enough."
I'm thinking of such things like MS Word, whose UI changes with every new release.

I have a vague memory of that ability, but it was long, long ago. Possibly last experienced in my teens.

Goblin Forest now more accessible

Confirmed accurate headline.

Well.

Goblin Forest now more accessible

not sure tasmania should make goblin forest more accessible. sounds like asking for trouble imo.

If I can stack them neatly, the two 37s will go on my desk, the others to work, and my regular (but now spare) 27" to my dad.

It doesn't stop there though!
Dropped in on another friend to give them hugs, and related my little monitor story, and they pulled out a Serious monitor arm that used to hold two 37" beasts.
It felt weird but nice, as it's usually me giving away the spare electronics

Caught up with a friend on Sunday afternoon, and on the way out he asked if I'd like some monitors.
Sure, I say; Expecting something small, outdated or random.
Imagine my eyes when I saw the two 34" monstrosities he pulled out. They went full width 21:9!
and a pair of generic 24" monitors.

text that is multicoloured and looks like it was made with different mediums like pencil, paint, pastel etc. it says Make Art, not prompts. there are three cartoon cats. one with a sketchbook and pencil. one painting at an easel and one making a messy collage

I think this one is finished :D

Ahhh, all the things I hate about modern computing. DRM is a true blight on everything.

Phones have also become the default access method to everything, so if you know a phone's access passcode, you then get full access to all of someone's data.
Yeah, tell me how that's great security.
