@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.

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

@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!

@cwebber @TodePond me among them! I don't like 'normal' programming but geonodes I can get lost in, and I end up sneakily learning some general concepts in the process. like now I know that fields are monads, thanks lol. it also forced me to learn about vector math!

We're now actively seeing attrition on people contributing to the ActivityPub Trust & Safety taskforce because we've failed to secure funding to pay people to do the required work, which is to the detriment of the entire fediverse.
It is not pretty or headline catching work, but it is necessary work that underpins the very social fabric of the fediverse.
It's now been 205 days since I submitted an application with @nlnet to try to secure funding for this work. That's almost 7 months.
The only update I've received to date was on 9th March 2026 that simply stated "your project "ActivityPub Trust & Safety Taskforce" (2025-12-371) has been selected to enter the second round of the December 2025 call"
The email did include "Note that proposals are reviewed with regards to urgency, relevance and value for money.", so my only logical conclusion is that NLNet does not see trust & safety work as urgently needed, relevant or value for money 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe there's another funding organisation that wants to fund the taskforce? So far I haven't seen an appropriate fund.

Elon Musk is a terrorist who stokes racial tensions with the ultimate goal of exterminating minorities.
Twitter ("X") was purchased by him to astroturf public opinion into believing the hate rhetoric he and MAGA spew is normal.
Its no wonder why Epstein, Trump, and him were good buddies.

I'm appalled to see the European Commission apparently embracing closed source, commercial, ID and age verification mandatory, social media today - in the very face of the technology sovereignty and online freedoms debates.
I think they've just thrown away the greatest opportunity to be the champion of all things open and collaborative, and to live and demonstrate their own values. Incredibly disappointed.

In the latest Mastodon update, collections were introduced, but at the moment there’s not a way to discover them easily.
I’d like to recommend posting an announcement for each of your collections with a specific hashtag for now. That way you can follow the hashtag and see them all.
I wanna find ‘em!

(Just thinking out loud here, please no one be dramatic) Is it still worth it for me to keep maintaining Tangerine UI?
I had a ton of fun creating the theme and evolving it. But now that it's come to a point I had considered finished, it's genuinely depressing to spend many hours on it every time there's a new Mastodon release, all just to un-break it and bring it up to speed. No fun involved 😅 (and no money either)
I think the team at Mastodon did a fantastic job creating a future-proof token system for building custom themes that don't break as easily with every update. But in the case of Tangerine UI, a pre-existing theme, adopting it now requires rewriting many lines of CSS to ensure it becomes more future-proof (and that also involves hours spent on testing/tweaking to make sure every UI component looks good). I'm just not sure I have it in me to work on this rewrite now.
