Cosplay of PorCo Rosso giving a thumbs up

Card with Porco Rosso and the quote “I’d rather be a pig than a fascist”

Porco Rosso said hi and gave me his card.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

I sprayed bitter apple on the box I didn’t want him chewing and no dog has ever been madder

that one friend that's too library: you could get that for free at the library

YMMV on other software but I've got decent workarounds in place to force some of my faves to work, eg scrivener

oh apple..... my condolences haha. I've had no issues gaming on Linux Mint. there's free and automatically downloaded Linux compatibility tools for the overwhelming majority of games these days thanks to the steam deck being functionally a tiny Linux pc

Ive been almost entirely PC for a long time, my Wii u and switch didn't get as much use as they should have and I'm not even bothering with a switch 2. never owned anything PlayStation or Xbox except the vita which honestly, I have probably used more than my switch despite the vita disrespect

I like my steam deck enough that I'll have serious thoughts about the new steam controller when it comes out as long as it's not exorbitantly priced

Commission from this weekend; the prompt was “a chubby flamingo and a goth crow are boyfriends”

Another commission from this past weekend. This design was a lot of fun. I initially forgot the detective’s wings, and added them in later.

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

you can sort of force some flavour out of a shitty grocery store tomato by cooking it but you can cook a home grown tomatoes and it still tastes better. literally useless raw though. taste like a sponge
