Those water fountains with a tall one and short one for the kids are a joke. The kids refuse to use the short one as soon as they can tiptoe to the tall one and adults have to bend their asses into a acute angle.

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

I've found my feed immeasurably improved since I blocked everyone on this Content Scrapers list. The moon doesn't actually look like that, one guy can't possibly have that many cats. I hope not, anyway.

It would be endlessly funny to me if it ends being the case that you have to pay more for the non-AGI LLMs because they don't get uppity

The most important book for this moment in time is Peter Turchin's End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration, and maybe like three people are even thinking about it. Lots of Morozovs out there with no clue.

I'm sorry for this take, but people who say they like innovation in Pokemon and hate nostalgia-baiting, etc. If your aggregate scores end up saying you hate the new things and forgive the old things, you have a subconscious you need to contend with. Stated vs. revealed preferences. Again, I'm sorry.

Ends justifying the means gets a lot of crap, but we don't talk enough about toxic deontology.

This is a hot take that'll get me blocked, but automatically putting up ALT text for images on BlueSky is a valid ethical use of AI. It's more effective than trying to give out reminders or shaming people, who either don't care or are disabled in other ways.

Yes! I referred to this all the time when I start out painting digitally. Absolute gold
Great time to remind everyone to check out Arne's PSG art tutorial. It covers a lot of topics quickly and applies to all art, including #gameart. Especially good for #handpainted texturing too!

Pride and Prejudice 2005 gets shade for the rain scene being off-book, but everyone forgets the montage where Mr Bennet apologizes to Mary for embarrassingly cutting off her playing that was off-book too, which elevated it more to Art than the straight-laced retelling of 1995
