Why? The 12 days of Christmas go until January 5-6 😉

I haven’t really looked into it, but isn’t Friendica supposed to be the FOSS Fediverse Facebook?

Much better, CS Lewis also made him the cool protagonist of his Cosmic Trilogy

Nothing is sacred in Brazilian culinary.

Pineapple is probably one of the tamest pizza toppings in my region, which ironically has one of the largest Italian populations.

Yes, it’s not always effective, but it’s nice when it does work.

I find that using this kind of language can be very effective in disarming online arguments that are becoming aggressive.

I don’t use AI because it doesn’t exist.

LLMs and image diffusion? Yes, but these are just high coherence media transformers.

One of the very few?

At least it’s the “only” editor that handles tabs correctly. Tabs are to go to the next tabstop, not advance a fixed amount.

Static types are great, but not exactly what would have helped here, any decent language or at least a linter should catch the use of a not declared identifier.

As a C# programmer, I like to make desktop GUIs with WPF or Avalonia. Web is also possible with asp.net, but I don’t like it as much.

Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.

I like to think that anything that CAN be art, if it can be meaningful for someone.

A pebble might be ignored by most people, but a geologist might be fascinated by it, I think that becomes art.

Even in something worked-on at the very least the artist is the observer, and they will put into it the meaning they perceive in it, and if they never share with anyone it’s still art.

My opinion.

While I think it’s extremely overhyped, looking at some “AI” art communities it’s clear that at least some put a lot of effort on it, going over many many iterations and tweaking the program and the results.

And anyway art is “made” by the observer, not the artist, even the results of natural processes can be art.

(AI in quotes because these tools don’t deserve the name, at best High Coherence Media Transformers)

Thanks! 😁

Hello from Mastodon

Lemmy makes it a bit easier to make competing communities. If enough people get angry at bad mods in a community they will migrate.

This already happened in Reddit, but competing communities had different names, and Lemmy also allows to escape bad admins and sites/instances.
