@davidrevoy An even better solution is a bag with which to cover the bird’s head. Everyone knows that birds go to sleep when it gets dark, even if the dark is artificial.
@ELS TIL here! Seriously, I had no idea it was a thing. Visually, if I painted that, it would look like a harder torture or kidnapping technique, imo. 😆 But thank you for the feedback!

@davidrevoy I love her dress!

@poleguy Thank you for noticing the subtle transparency of the fabric. 😊
@davidrevoy You gave me too much credit. Now I see it. Wow. I was actually impressed right off the bat by the lighting and shading of the folds. Now I'm doubly impressed. (The other panels are also great, but wow!)

@davidrevoy My mother, who is now 87 taught me how hard it was to draw fabric and showed me the basics of how to do it.
Seeing your work wants me to go back and do my life over and lean in to the drawing side harder. What an inspiration!
(Not really, of course: I could/might still lean in to that whenever I want to: no regrets.... I love where I landed.)
Keep it up!

@davidrevoy In any case, I love the artwork!

@antopatriarca Don't mix imperfect with bad; many creators are just preventing themselves to share their creation because a subjective feeling of having to make things perfect. They can be tempted by using the plagiarism machine for escaping this feeling or , on another hand, go reverse and embrace a philosophy like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi , that's what my message convey here, as well as enjoying the process and the benefits of seing in the self-reflection of our efforts something to be proud.
@davidrevoy As a software engineer, the main message I receive in this world is to make things fast, sacrificing on quality, ethics and everything we have learned. So your message somehow triggered my hatred for all the vibe-coding messages I see around me. I understand the art world is different, and I do actually enjoy making my own private, very imperfect art. This is why I had mixed feelings; it triggered something deep in me, even if I understood and agreed with your message with my head. I suppose I never realised I am starting to have almost PTSD from all of this.

@antopatriarca I totally understand your reaction toward AI slop, vibe coding, and all this mediocre content. True, my usage of "making something imperfectly" can unfortunately be mistaken for that.
I'm also tired about this, about the rules like 'find the 20% that does the 80%' , the pressure of the late stage capitalism in all area to rush and produce low quality for the highest price.
It's hard in all of this to make a room for the 'imperfect but authentic' art form or craft. -

@davidrevoy proof that Avian Intelligence is better than Artificial Intelligence because you can actually shut it up like that.

@davidrevoy C'est marrant, l'intelligence aviaire est le seul arc du mini fantasy theater à avoir plus de deux épisodes. Apparemment, le sujet est très inspirant.

@Stem En fait, j'ai quelques 'tags' à présent sur le site pour trier tout ça, mais c'est sur que l’Intelligence Aviaire c'est de loin la plus longue série. https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater__Avian-Intelligence.html
Je continue car il y a un effet très intéressé personnel: "tant que je gagne, je joue". C'est difficile à écrire, mais le thème intéresse. Alors je continue. Et pour une fois, mes messages et mon activisme est bien plus relayé que mes blog post, même sur les plateformes proprio (eg. screenshot Insta ci dessous). 😺

The fact that I have to more deeply aquaint myself with human flaws is...interesting I suppose. "This hand is fucked up. Is it fucked up in a human way, or an extruded way?" "Is this llm written, or are they just going in the corp speak a little too hard?" On one hand, *We should not have to do this.* On the other, those that do learn it hopefully gain more awareness of our fellow humans.

@Tourma Yes, right now I'm really trying to process how such a deep change will influence my art. The last paragraph of the Wabi-sabi concept on Wikipedia rings a bell to me with key principles: "Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of natural objects and the forces of nature. " ( src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi )
I love this list of words

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @Tourma@pixelfur.maw.best Merci pour ce concept que je ne connaissais pas. C'est magnifique!

Meal kit service has been a massive boon to diet change and weight loss. Huge win.

@stephaniepixie kinda remind me of ‘jelly’ shoes and stuff from back then, too. Haha

@gargron@mastodon.social I realized I was not in the same league of software developer as my colleagues when I built a PC and put in 4GB of RAM while they'd go 16 and up.
This was back in the day before Electron apps, so think Notepad++ and Sublime Text, truly lightweight stuff.
You are incentivized to build fast shit when constrained by your RAM, I'll tell you that.

@fediplayssnake go forward not right!!!! are you trying to game over????

Setting up the new servers for my new Mastodon instance. (It's just a toy deployment.)

@britt They look yummy 😋🍭

Accompanying the drums: Casio CZ101, Roland HS60 (Juno-106S) & Moog D, thanks to Pi. You know, 3.14...
Why?
In E01 of S02, Charlie mentions how Pi shows up in all kinds of places, & we don't know why. So why not incorporate some of these digits here?How?
The 3 instruments are each playing on their own MIDI channel (3, 1, 4) and start their sequence on beats 3, 1 and 4 (out of 8 - I'm really using a 4/4 signature, but running clock at 160 to 245bpm, double speed, hence as if it was 8/4).

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org Glad to hear that the spacing matters to native speakers too! And thanks for suggesting “wall clock time”—it's a very clear alternative.
