Reading a lot of Linux projects talking about LLMs now, focusing on if they work well enough or not. No talk about ethics, ideals or politics. If it continues down this path, FLOSS will end up like the Ed Sheeran of software. #software #foss #floss #libresoftware #linux #lxqt #desktopEnvironment #openSource #ethics #llm #techbros #tech

(Re-uploading to this instance) Brass cast little sculpture of a wood cube showing tunnels carved by a woodworm. Of course the tree was already firewood when I found it, I only cut it into a rough cube. And the woodworm was long gone: Wherever you are, I hope you're OK, it was nice making this collab with you. #MetalCasting #art #ContemporaryArt #sculpture #insect #beetle #abstract #organic #geometric #WoodWorm #carcoma #SciArt #wood #biology #entomology #casting #xylophague #collaboration

Six dinosaurs and an elasmosaur I pixelled at @iris@neuromatch.social ' request.

EDIT: the Hide and Alt buttons cover the T. rex, so you might have to click the image to see one of our favorites

I'm checking PixiEditor and it's doing much better than a couple of years ago.

Drawing with vectors right next to Pixel Art, next to regular image editing is wild, and I haven't even tried the procedural art yet.

Also, the No AI stance right there in the site's home screen 👌 That's what I want to see.

Quote boosting to add CW, some people don't want to see torture on their timelines.

And by torture I mean the bull getting tortured. But some people also don't want to see a torturer getting bloody justice, so CW for that too.

I personally don't enjoy seeing this, but I side with the bull every time.

@bryanredeagle I assumed it was Windows because I found this, on a thread about the exact same issue: "(...) So, mainboard vendors generally include Microsoft's public key in their trusted platform module (the chip storing the data used to verify software), and allows booting Microsoft-signed boot loaders. And that's what the major Linux distributions did: get a Microsoft account, ask Microsoft to sign their bootloaders, and thus make them possible to boot on most mainboards (...)

@bouncinglime I thought so when I found it: you can't possibly do all those things right, but... what if it succeeded? And it's been improving since then, it only did pixel art when I first tried it. Of course it's still very basic, don't expect much, but all the modules are already there :) And I remember procedural art from before the current "AI" nonsense. Some people are doing it right.
