@cwebber the Simple Marketing Transport Protocol is primarily used to send spams and other unsolicited advertisements (if I've understood correctly its primary purpose!)

Missus staying in tonight while I do a study out in the northside, she a bit out of sorts, must be a cold because of the weather.

Sure!  

SMTP stands for Straightforward Mastodon 'Tivity Pub, and it's the mapping of Mastodon's database to the ActivityPub standard that you may have heard of.  (It's not called SMAP because in Latin SMAP is a synonym for 'Jack Dorsey'.). In this thread I shall ... (1/666)

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦@Paulatics@mstdn.ca (2026-06-18 06:35:11)
I am really disturbed at the way the Senate is being “pressured” to pass complex, important and deeply flawed legislation without proper study and debate. Bill C-16 is just the latest example. Under the cover of protecting victims, the government is rolling back important constitutional protections. Few people have noticed. So I’m telling you. https://youtu.be/vhfJqlJdc3A?si=EWWI9vtR6zJD8zjd #BillC16 #cdnpoli #SenCa #femicide #coercivecontrol #Jordan

I'm hoping to have some time this week to get our custom tweaks to Mastodon applied to the new 4.6 release over the course of this week with the goal of hopefully getting it deployed to the instances over the weekend. 

I'm fortunately pretty busy with project work (Which is what pays my bills!) so time is a bit of a premium for me right now hence the delay of it being this weekend that I will hopefully be able to apply the updates themselves.

@theeclecticdyslexic @karpour @SofaFernsehFan @FOSSForce that corner could be careless, I did notice that; but as a mathematician, cartoonists playing fast & loose with geometry for a clearer scene has bugged me forever, so that doesn't strike me as a clear tell. Usually when you have image model generated geometries it lacks the ability to keep the counts and continuities of lines consistent, but those are good here. Could be generated & touched up by a cartoonist though, that I can believe.

@ryanprior @karpour @SofaFernsehFan @FOSSForce the only genuine mistake I've seen that actually suggests genAI with touch ups is the corner creating impossible geometry with the lines of code sign.

@karpour @theeclecticdyslexic @SofaFernsehFan @FOSSForce there's a number of things here that have typically been very difficult for AI to pull off. I scrutinized it for the type of careless details you're talking about, which I normally find in abundance in generated work, and if they're present here it's below my ability as a non cartoonist to detect.

@theeclecticdyslexic @ryanprior @SofaFernsehFan @FOSSForce As an artist, let me assure to you that this is generated. The more you look, the more you find things that lack intent and make no sense.

@ryanprior @SofaFernsehFan

seems unlikely to me it's AI gen. The story points follow the Fibonacci sequence, all the text is the same font and legible, and none of the lines I see are converging in strange ways. Only spot that looks off is the card of the 5, but that may be an attempt at portraying two different refracting lenses; they just forgot to do the same for the 21.

edit: the lines on the stands/glass back corner of the story points is far too correct. I really doubt it.

@SofaFernsehFan @FOSSForce it would be very well composed for an AI piece, but the lack of attribution is concerning

Is this A.I.-generated or did the artist miss to sign it?

@TodePond@mas.to Not knowing is alright, telling people to "try googling it on wikipedia", saying "i can't believe i have to spell this out", and asking if they "know how venn diagrams work?" can very quickly come across as you trying to be smug and superior, and that you're just here to troll people. In particular, replying to people with just "> do NOT reply with a text editor" sounds very flippant.
If that was not your intention, please try to look into improving the way you communicate in such situations. Otherwise, nobody is having a great time.

@tibi2 @TodePond This is the only time in programming where "Oh, it's a monad!" made the situation less confusing for me lol

Christine Lemmer-Webber@cwebber@social.coop (2026-06-18 04:48:22)
@tibi2 @TodePond Indeed! Fields in geometry nodes explain monads pretty well actually: the reason it looks like fields "flow backwards" is you're actually inputting a function which is a "recipe" to be evaluated on each item rather than an individual value!
