I was commissioned by filthyfigments.com
to draw up a BRAND NEW RSS COMIC!

With all the Tapas news, I thought this would be the perfect time to post the full comic.

This is an up-to-date comic with what I'm using, how I'm using it, and how you can too!

I’ve been working on this cute little 🐑 #Shepherd feature: settings.
https://codeberg.org/shepherd/shepherd/pulls/153#issuecomment-23343229

A service would have settings, which one can inspect, change, and reset to their default value.

This would allow one to fiddle with services at run time lightheartedly.

It comes days after 7 Ethiopian rebel groups announced they had formed an armed alliance with the goal of toppling Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Some of these groups have fundamental differences & have fought on opposite sides of previous wars. They appear to have set them aside for now, age old "enemy of my enemy" concept.

War breaks out in Ethiopia.

Tigrayan forces attack federal government positions on two fronts & capture the region's airports. There have been minor skirmishes here and there, but this is the most serious outbreak of fighting since the 2022 Pretoria ceasefire ended the Tigray war.

Tragically, shuttle diplomacy efforts by the international community have failed. Ethiopia is on the brink of being plunged back into all out civil war.

It's a disaster.

I found it particularly instructive to read the Leiden Declaration by mathematicians on «AI»:
https://leidendeclaration.ai/

I'd like to see a similar declaration on #hamradio and #AI. There's probably one already one out there, which I am not aware of.

Here is an on-going effort of highlighting and preserving my digital paintings & webcomics for future generations by the BnF ( Bibliothèque Nationale de France, I could translate to 'National Library of France'). They contacted me approx. a year ago, and it's truly a huge honor and support. Thank you. Archiving open culture matters. 💙
