Second attempt, at mixing a couple of previous designs together and I think this one came out pretty cute looking.

As an enjoyer of delightfully bad graphic design, found on most Czech village center cork boards, I’m sad to see the stolen clipart and badly cropped watermarked stock images, gradually replaced with AI slop.
This is far from a serious rant, but generating images of my kind being telepathically hit with sharp rocks, surely gives me a right to complain.
So far these seem the most prominent slop categories, seem to be…
Architecture slop:
- find a sketch of what an old building looked like
- generate an AI version, without correcting any of the perspective errors - this one is diagonally levitating
- generate a recreation of the buildings demise - after going through the AI, for the second time, it is now a completely different building
Moralizing slop:

This one comes from this years (now scrapped) April 1st DLSS 5 gag, that was originally supposed to use Microsofts AI - in ways similar to the Nvidia technology, which produced interesting, overly detailed results. I wanted to see if I could beat the AI thing at drawing something like that myself and many redraws later, this is my best result.
In the interest of fairness and hopefully for the last time, I ever have to address this, Google has flip-flopped again and promised “sideloading” will not be removed from their version of Android, but instead have to be enabled in the developer settings, using the following “advanced flow”:
To be perfectly clear, this still falls short of what I wanted, but at this point, it is a compromise I’m willing to take, over further pursuing this, through the various available European courts, myself.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sounds like a plan, it’d be the second biggest version, in Australia.
Number one is on the rplace.live map canvas, where the previous one is in America and the one from today here - no reason other than the fact those countries had a good empty spot, to put them in, at the time I drew them.

@lyse I just watched this. And whilst it's very good and insightful, good history of MySQL and how Martin helped built a good solid Open Source + Commercial model, I'm not seeing the "why people don’t wanna work at your company" bit? What am I missing? 🤔 In any case, he does talk to great length on the importance of Culture and the insane notion of "centrlaised office working", which I 100% agree with.

A mate just recommended this German talk why people don’t wanna work at your company: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3321-es_es_ka_em_warum_gute_leute_nicht_bei_euch_arbeiten_wollen It’s really good. I fully agree with most parts.
The speaker referenced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmEgtRhw7o (Mårten Mickos: Believe in Something Bigger Than Yourself) which is also very interesting, if you make it through the first bit. He talks about his CEO role at MySQL AB.

Tenho visto muitas vezes a estatística de que a idade média com que os jovens acedem pela primeira vez a conteúdo erótico é 11 anos.
Nas peças que tenho lido, está implícito que o autor acha que é demasiado cedo. Pessoalmente, acho curioso porque foi exactamente a idade em que me deparei com a primeira revista explícita no recreio da preparatória.
Por isso até me surpreende pela positiva essa estatística, as coisas não mudaram assim tanto quanto nos querem fazer crer

@lyse You actually have a Markdown parser/renderer in there? Oh dear. I would have been (well, I am) way too lazy for that. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well, just a very limited subset thereof:
- inline and multiline code blocks using single/double/triple backticks (but no code blocks with just indentation)
- markdown links using using
[text](url)
- markdown media links using
And that’s it. No bold, italics, lists, quotes, headlines, etc.
Just like mentions, plain URLs, markdown links and markdown media URLs are highlighted and available in the URLs View. They’re also colored differently, similarly to code segments.
I definitely should write some documentation and provide screenshots.
The tt URLs View now automatically selects the first URL that I probably are going to open. In decreasing order, the URL types are:
- markdown media URLs (images, videos, etc.)
- markdown or plaintext URLs
- subjects
- mentions
I might differentiate between mentions of subscribed and unsubscribed feeds in the future. The odds of opening a new feed over an already existing one are higher.
Trying to relax after the last working shift of the year. I’ve got a nice view of #SãoPaulo as the evening falls.

#Processing & #py5 tip:
Remember the shapes you put on draw() will be redrawn over and over, and if they don’t move (leaving a trail) you might want to either clean each frame with background(...), or stop the draw loop (noLoop() in Processing or no_loop() in py5), otherwise you kill the anti-aliasing of the lines :D
”`python
import py5
def setup():
py5.size(200, 200)
py5.stroke_weight(2)
# a line that will drawn once only
py5.line(10, 10, 190, 90)
def draw():
# you could clean the frame here with background(200)
# this other line will be redrawn many times
py5.line(10, 110, 190, 190)
def key_pressed():
py5.save('out.png')
