Only two days into September and we’ve already surpassed $5,000 raised for St. Jude. Incredible!

Penelope, our resident IRC bot, notifies everyone in the #general channel whenever a new donation comes in. We see them all in real time! :penelope:

(Also, if you‘re not on irc.social.lol, what are you waiting for?!)

@robb and I are so grateful for your generosity. :prami_happy:

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic sorceress, stands on her high chair, in her painting workshop, with an empty canvas in front of her on the easel. Her expression is blank, staring in the void. On his perch nearby, her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot speaks out loud a notification. > Parrot: "Breaking news: Penguin Academy authorizes grimoire contributions made with Avian Intelligence." > Parrot: "Third major magic school this week after the Pointy Hat and Daemon." > Cepper: "..."
Panel 2. The Parrot leans forward, studying Cepper's face. She hasn't moved. > Parrot: "I thought that would make you furious." > Cepper: "No. It's been like this every day for weeks now, so much so that I've lost my ability to feel outraged..." > Cepper (smaller): "And all motivation..."
Panel 3. General shot in the workshop, Parrot process while Cepper slowly pick one brush from a pot aside of the canvas. > Parrot: "So what are you going to do?" > Cepper: "Paint what I actually feel."
Panel 4. Close up of Cepper applying a brush stroke on the canvas. Her voice is quiet, her eyes still blasé, but trying to focus on the canvas. She made a first step. > Cepper: "If this resonates with someone... that will be well enough." > Cepper: "Enough to not feel alone in this."

I, as a subtle and very reserved woman, obviously would never contemplate getting a bag with "EAT ME" on it

A blue handbag with a patterned floral backsplash, and the cover-flap has a large blue and white chequered bow that says "EAT ME" in the middle, surrounded by hearts.

I read somewhere that "the industry is losing the narrative on data centres".

I can't imagine why. Here's the pitch:

"The purpose of these giant buildings is to take away your job. But think about the benefits if we place them in your neighbourhood: Electricity and water will be more expensive, background noise will rise, and if you're *really* lucky we'll drive the whole thing using gas-fired turbines so air pollution rises too!"

@mcc the near constant stream of MMS messages I get from random democrats claim that one can participate in democracy at any time any place. perhaps democracy is just a simple gacha game, just a few microtransactions here and there.

i have been obsessed with this photoset from @trueref.bsky.social since it was first posted months ago. this was so much fun to paint 😭

#art #FediArt #MastoArt #CreativeToots

a digital painting of a woman looking straight at the camera. she is learning towards the viewer, with her arms behind her back. Her hair is dyed bright pink and falls around her face and shoulders. She is wearing a white tank top and grey pleated skirt with a black waistband. the background around her is a cool grey. The colors are slightly unnatural, with the shadows leaning into purple.

(and yes, I know, managers have free capital and could volunteer, but other disciplines don't -- think UXR, design, etc. -- so you're stuck at either a values or resources dilemma, and the only solutions that work look like ChromeOS or SteamOS and a good chunk of the bottom-up community reject them on the basis of their own priors/supremacy; that is, they benefit in a status sense from a version of FOSS that does not have its shit together)

It sure would have been nice if, in our current era of vibe-coded OSes, we had cross-browser support for the show*Picker family of methods

They could've serve as a OS-neutral escape hatch for writing local-first document-oriented apps while worrying less about the underlying OS

But, y'know, we can't have nice things.

(Trusting Firefox and Apple rhetoric on these proposals turns out to have been a bit dumb in hindsight 🤷‍♂️ )
