There is plenty of research around ways of preventing your art from being ingested by LLM crawlers but, as far as I know, there's no silver bullet yet.I don't have it either but hear me out: what about hidden profanity?What about every painting includes at least one dick and one pussy and one asshole - except they're camouflaged so that only a diffusion model will produce a collection of genitalia?What about swearwords in every song?It would be fun.

Last week I took a break from checking jobs on LinkedIn; happy to report that going back today I found a slightly increased level of shit.

@mynameistillian The Jackpot books by William Gibson (@GreatDismal in case he didn't surrender to bluesky) are the most excruciatingly realistic version of our future.Rich assholes, poor people, so many deaths.

@0xabad1dea "but when I was in high-school (around 15-20 years ago), my goals and motivation were really different than my current ones, as they were mainly, ranked in order of interest and importance: getting laid."I feel seen.

Brilliant eBay trick for sellers: Just make sure your street address is longer than 35 characters - DHL won't accept it, and MAGICALLY your wares won't ever be returned! WIN/WIN!

Playing charades with the kids. One picks up this card and mimes kissing.Eventually I give up, they show the card and I say "those are moustaches!"The reply: "noooo! They're two whales smoochy kissing!"And in that moment, pgcd was enlightened.

Every once in a while I'm reminded of this very fine example of clerical creativity I witnessed back in '22

It turns out "my" shirt design was stolen and used by some US assholes who now sell a Rob Anybody t-shirt.I can't do anything about that, except giving everybody the design for free - if it has to be out there, nobody should profit from it.If you end up using it, please PLEASE donate to one of Pratchett's favorite charities or at least to somebody in need.And add a #GNUTerryPratchett line somewhere, maybe?Edit: here's the SVGhttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/slcpssbvoz1txzcbnup8i/hope-anybody-GTP.svg?rlkey=i0m9ln5otnac67uc9rgr5bjjp&st=5qwl623v&dl=0

Or, maybe, buy something from https://shop.paulkidby.com/featured/ - the original design is his, and he totally deserves to be paid for it.

@EUCommission are you going to do something about Google harvesting data from your phone regardless of your consent, without any way of disabling it?

I endorse every single word of this. Yes, including the repetition of "extreme".https://hackaday.com/2025/07/23/the-death-of-industrial-design-and-the-era-of-dull-electronics/

How can meta's rayban be legal in EU? How can a mofo look me up and take pictures of me without even the vaguest attempt at obtaining my permission?Most importantly, will I go to jail if I punch the first one I see and break them?

After crossing Istria and Dalmatia, I have two messages for everybody:- civil engineering is the bomb- Clive Barker's "In the hills, the cities" has the staying power of brain herpes: once you get it, you'll never be free of it

My monitor's speakers suck ass, and I don't mean that in a nice way.So I'm trying to find a way to either use my actual monitors (a pair of M-Audio) on a very crowded desk, or a tiny soundbar or a couple speakers I can clamp to my screen.One way out would be a screen riser where I can also place my laptops but I need it to have those tiny holes for ventilation and, of course, Google and descendants are COMPLETELY useless in this search.Ideas? Even a specific search string!#askfedi #audio

Today, for the first time, I saw a "don't ask again" option related to Gemini in google meet.Obviously I clicked it immediately, without thinking of taking a screenshot to immortalize the moment.Well, never mind, I'll take it the next time.
