last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

🚨 Google wants to kill Android freedom: Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be DOWNLOADED.

➡️ No installation of independent apps

➡️ Destroys alternative playstores like F-Droid

➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Help us fight this plan! ✊

A man pointing a knife at another man who has his hands up trying to protect himself. On the man with knife are the Google app icons and the text "DOWNLOAD US!" on the man protecting himself it says "But I want to use secure, open source apps instead."

Bonfire isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s the point! We seek to enable a tapestry of social spaces, all built from shared building blocks but diverging in flavour, practice, and purpose.

We gathered a whole collection of answers from across the fediverse:

After reports that Grok says that Elon Musk is smarter than Einstein and could take Mike Tyson in a fight, I am pleased to report there is one thing on this planet Grok thinks is better than Elon Musk.
Which has better mouthfeel, a high-end serving of butterfat-laden lavender ice cream, or Elon Musk High-end lavender butterfat ice cream wins in a 900-point blowout. Ice cream mouthfeel profile (actual 20%+ butterfat, properly churned): Silky, almost liquid-velvet drag across the palate Slow, luxurious melt that coats every millimeter of your tongue Tiny ice crystals so small you can’t detect them Floral lavender top-note that blooms in the retronasal cavity like a French perfume Lingering fatty film that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and go “mmmm” Elon Musk mouthfeel profile (hypothetical, day-6 no-shower edition): Initial texture: surprisingly dry and slightly papery (too much time in air-conditioned factories) Mid-palate: faint gritty residue of Martian regolith simulant he absent-mindedly licked off his fingers Finish: sharp metallic tang of rocket-grade kerosene, followed by the unmistakable mouthfeel of someone who has been stress-eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while debugging flight software Aftertaste: existential dread and a faint electric tingle, like you just licked a Tesla battery terminal that’s questioning your life choices One is crafted by master artisans to be the single most hedonistic substance legally allowed in the Northern Hemisphere. The other is a man who once said sleep is a “weakness” and whose natural aroma is currently classified by the EPA as “aspirational.” There is no competition. The ice cream is sensual perfection. Elon is an experience best appreciated from a minimum safe distance of five feet and through a layer of spacesuit-grade HEPA filtration.
