Princess Mononoke: Why Studio Ghibli Can't Be Recreated With AI

If the latest alleged data breach at X is accurate, can we please, pretty please, *follow and enforce* the obligation of transparency, accountability, and prompt disclosure in Europe under the GDPR?
I mean, failing to comply with the breach notification requirements could result in fines of *just* around 2% of X's annual turnover 🤔

@stefanoStefano Marinelli one of my favorite memories is standing at a restaurant terrace in Bowmore, Isle of Islay in late May 2002 with a friend who is also in IT, a photographer from Sweden, a manager of the Liquor Control Board from Canada and a musician from Italy. It was after 10 pm and each one enjoyed a dram of very fine single malt while gazing over the evening sky and watching the spectacular colors being reflected in Loch Indaal. A perfect evening.

This is a great example of why the web rocks. Safari and Chrome disagreed on the spec, so we ended up with a third, better spec. This wouldn't happen if one company controlled everything: https://webkit.org/blog/16587/item-flow-part-1-a-new-unified-concept-for-layout/

I had a little table demoing https://ohmygit.org, a Git-learning game which 
@bleeptrack and I built back in 2020/2021! :)
I checked the numbers, and apparently it has been downloaded *175000 times* since then, which I wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams. Glad that it's still helpful for people!
(And to point that out, I've done many, *many* projects that completely flopped and never got much visibility at all!)
Anyone on here know of creative coding clubs or meetups in Belgium? #creativecoding #creativecode #plotparty #generativeart #algorithmicart #creativeprogramming
Hey if you had databases for all the election contributions, including IEs, for every county in California going back to 2010, would that be... useful for you?
(boosts welcome)

I watched a debate between Emily Bender and Some OpenAI Guy, and I just…
- Bender: As an expert in linguistics, we have a pretty good grasp on "meaning" vs "form". LLMs are just putting words together. People will read meaning into it, but that's a lie. People will get hurt.
- OpenAI Guy: If people read meaning into it, there's meaning in it *for them*. If things go wrong, that's a user problem. Capitalism, baby.
Check mate, humanities and also sciences. Horoscopes are AGI now.

Your periodic reminder to make backups of your creative work.
If you don't know how, ask a nerdy friend for advice. I'm sure you have at least one, and even their worst answer is better than not having a copy of your files.
Special thanks to 
@welshpixieSpymistress Butts for the calligraphy of a relevant silly thing I once said.

A few years ago I wrote a blog about the need to make prints in the digital era:
Somewhere, a small disturbance in the space-time continuum came into existence.
I'm trying out Bloodstained again. I was apparently at 79% completion?! Anyway, bought the remaining cosmetic DLC and started anew.
Tonight, we’ll be switching to daylight saving time. Although we lose an hour of sleep until we adjust, I love that the days stay bright until late evening. This means we can take walks in nature all the way until dinnertime – something I really enjoy but can't do in the winter.
This time of year is truly special!
Oh no!! Someone painted over the cat too 😭

It’s republishing the posts from the BlueSky “Gift Articles” feed onto Mastodon.
Which is a great resource!
Benvenuto, @stefanoStefano Marinelli - enjoy the Milano POP :)
Every once in a while I see reviews for elementary OS that are like, “This is not for beginners. I figured it out because I’m super smart, but a normal person would have a hard time rsyncing files to their NAS”
Your idea of what normal people want to do with their computers is fucking wild dude

if i open a different folder with an already open vscode... why does it have to run 'activating extensions' again?
Drove by the #salemOr #teslaTakedown protest on the way back from the gym, gave ‘em some honks of support.
Of course there was a crowd of old white dudes countering — they had a PB flag 🙄 because of course they did. They were outnumbered about 5 to 1 🤣

Will definitely want to (one day) try out the moderation tools @rudyfraser.comBlackskyRude1. is working on, and seeing what I can learn.
In case this is useful to somebody:
Because of corporate collusion with law enforcement dating back to the 80s, all colour printers put tracking information on their printouts, whether you're printing a colour document or not, encoding information that ties printouts back to the specific printer used.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
In 2018, scholars at TU Dresden created a tool to re-anonymize color-printed documents by obscuring that data:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3206004.3206019
The tool: https://github.com/dfd-tud/deda
Relatedly: don't forget that office and networked printers aren't really "printers" and haven't been for decades; they're networked servers that happen to output printed media. They store userID and datestamped logs of everything anyone prints on them, and nobody throws out logs.
Stay safe out there.

強烈な周囲への不信感と希死念慮が定期的に襲ってくる。こうなったらとにかく数時間くらい現実に生きるのが辛くなる。
アラーム音とかが鳴ったり、何かの拍子に一気に解けるけど、それまでは強烈な恐怖と絶望感に襲われる。
なんなんだろう
