Call for graphic artists, comics drawers and designers: At work we manage a small clothing brand where we can print and produce t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for a marginal price.

Our focus so far was to set up the shop in a robust way, find the best suppliers available and guarantee a top notch supply chain from print to delivery (to your door), while solely relying on Print On Demand to avoid having waste products nor storage costs.

So far we’ve managed to deliver on all these points + worked with great but very few (4/5) artists and designers to bring to life some comics characters, and curate the designs to a T. Our first collab artists were from places as far away as Australia or Latin America.

There is no specific theme, but for our previous releases we did get inspired by technology, cyberspace, or mythology and handmade techniques. We also work closely with electronic music artists and creative people from the music scene.

Now we can and will focus on design, and I’d love to collaborate with fedi artists, as there are plenty of talented people around here.

If you have some cool artowrks that you would like to see printed in high quality garments, get in touch…

Took this photo last week. Shows why you sometimes need rain gear when hiking around town even when there isn't rain.

A geothermal well spews a big steam cloud. Part of it rains down on the path. Along the path we see Alaskan lupine and buttercup flowers. On the other side of the river three people are riding their horses.

Went on a day trip to Borgarnes this week. The highlight was the café Kaffi Kyrrð. Also went to the Settlement Exhibition in the Settlement Center which was so old the videos were in standard definition. But a nice town and a great trip

Of course, I only photographed the rustier sides of the town

A broken-down tour bus photographed in black and white.
An old sign over an old door on a rusty corrugated-iron wall. The sign says "sýningarbásar", or "show booths", and "Fornbílafélag Borgarfjarðar" or "the antique car association of Borgarfjörður". The building is now unused.
The other side of that large warehouse, showing the rusty corrugated iron. A mountain towers over it in the background.
A closer view of the door to where the exhibition booths for the antique car association used to be. You can see a bit of the photographer's reflection in the window.

I think these two have had a bit of a barney about something. Imagine trying to ignore someone when you're attached to the same stem. Grim.

What I notice about Abigail Thorn's video on conversion therapy is just how carefully she's wording every single statement she makes to insulate her from any and all defamation claims. And I sit there going, "these are some very carefully worded statements, why is that"? Then I realise that she needs to word her claims very carefully because there will be people looking over her video with very expensive lawyers looking for any and all reasons to sue her, the same way this happened to Amnesty International.

And in that moment, I'm like "holy shit... it's this bad, huh"

really don't like seeing people making fun of beginner or otherwise just not perfectly honed/skilled artworks in the year 2026

like its not something thats ever gelled well with me, but particularly now in a world where gen ai has existed for years and been pushed relentlessly on every corner of society, everybody making any effort to make art even if they don't have years of practice under their belt, the passion and care and interest, the want to express oneself no matter how small or silly that expression may seem, should be celebrated. the capitalist class is actively trying to enclose the commons of thought, expression, and creativity. every little stick figure depiction of something, every first oc, every cartoon cell tracing, every wobbly study, every little bit of "incorrect" anatomy or proportions or whatever else, brings me so much joy right now, in that the ones spending billions to convince you to have just lifelessly generated something in its place were not successful, and instead somebody got to experience the creative process, and make something that is theirs

It’s analogous to the US’s old argument for asbestos: that asbestosis and mesothelioma were effectively consequences of irresponsible use or “deployment”

But you simply can’t get the honestly near-miraculous chemical properties of lead or asbestos without the poisoning, lung scarring, and cancers

baldur@toot.cafe ("Baldur Bjarnason") wrote:

In other words: a percentage of the people currently saying that the main problem with “AI” today is irresponsible deployment—managers, executives, and investors being foolish—are saying so in order to sell you a “responsible” deployment of LLMs at a later date not because they are genuinely concerned about the tech

And, since we can’t tell the grifters from the sincere-but-foolish, the only “responsible” thing we can do react to all statements along these lines with scepticism

Anyway, since I’m always annoying my own brain by trying to come up with clearer and more specific wording for my own opinions:

I reject the notion that LLMs can be deployed “responsibly” at scale and believe that anybody claiming otherwise is fooling themselves, conning you, or possibly both

People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”

I went to my first repair cafe today. I took this, thinking that they'd probably be unable to repair it, but in that case I'd be no worse off.

Happily, they were able to repair it, and I am now the proud owner of a working 26-year-old PDA 🙂​

​:boost_ok:​ #PleaseBoost ​:boost_ok:​

Hey Fedi, I need a little bit of tech support help here, I am completely stumped.

I just bought myself a new ASUS laptop (ASUS TUF A16 FA608PM-RV072), and I've noticed that my keyboard's backlight does not turn on. I am using Ultramarine Linux.

I know the backlight works because it lights up before bootup, but as soon as the bootup sequence begins, it turns off. The operating system thinks it is up at max.

I tried installing asusctl, ROG Control Center, and even doing a full reinstall and enabling the CachyOS kernel inside of Ultramarine's install options (then installing asusctl and ROG Control Center on the reinstall), but I cannot get the backlight to turn on.

The laptop otherwise works fine, but I really do want the keyboard backlight to work.

If any of you have any solutions or troubleshooting steps, please send them my way - and if not, please take a moment to boost if you'd like, I really want to get this issue fixed.
