Defeatism is form of surrender. Cynicism is surrender. Despair is surrender. Nihilism is surrender.

Our job is to •care• and to •keep caring• and to •keep doing and keep building• and to •endure• longer than them.

For a long time I've been intrigued by #Epiphany taking 5 to 20 seconds to load any website on startup or in Incognito Mode, and started profiling and testing a bunch of configurations to report a bug.

It turned out to be 2 bugs in 1

* The adblocker (and similar features) makes things slower : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/work_items/2880#note_2766101

* WebKitGTK is doing some shenanigans with the system's fonts: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315135

I think every one of the last dozen photoshops I’ve done has had some knob or another reply with “AI SLOP!!”.

Look. Skill issue. You may not be able to hallucinate absolute dorkarse nonsense by yourself, but some of us can.

I am making a 3D bird-thought from my game “Karambola”.

It’s a fun crossover between the world of my games and my stop-motion movie made of pencils.

I think I’m halfway done. I still need a beak, eyes, a mechanism to make it fly, and a mini bird-thought inside it :>
So, a few more days.

And why, you ask?
Of course because I should be doing something else :D

And now for something completely different... I've never shared these before: Aquaman stickers made for some competition. Didn't win (was it too "woke" lol) and never made it to the public, so I have my own personal stickers now. I'm not a big fan of Aquaman movies (the first one was soooo boring), but the stickers are fun 🌈💧🦈

The new version of Millipixels, now in crimson-updates-proposed, significantly improves the way photos are developed by default. No need to develop the RAWs on your own to get rid of that greenish retro look anymore. Time to update and show off your cats on the fedi 😺

Remember the Linux VM thing that Android dev tools now have? The tech behind it is the peak of using remote attestation to prevent you from controlling or inspecting what runs on your device. And another feature that apps will use to refuse to work on rooted devices.

You can only run kernel images signed by Google or an approved OEM with the virtualization API (enforced at the guest firmware level which is signed and verified by the host OS).

Google lists a use case as running a malware classifier on your device while preventing you from reverse engineering the algorithm. They list other vendors use cases as running some vague client risk assessment models.

Remember the proposed laws about enforcing client side scanning of all sent messages? This is the perfect plumbing for that.

We are losing the war on generalized computing.
