If you have ever wondered why black cats are associated with Halloween, the cat-sìth may be the reason.

They are described as giant black cats with a spot on their chests, an arched back, and long hair always standing upright and bristly.

During Samhain in Scotland, some families would leave out a bowl of milk to keep in the cat-sìth‘s good favour. If you did that, you would be blessed, if you forgot, you would be cursed.

Hey, I'm Nolo Pasaro, a pixel artist. I've opened commissions this year to cover my college transportation expenses (I live in the countryside, college's at the capital).

Boosts :boost_ok: appreciated!

Workaround 1 is out. Workaround 2 and 3 are pending, but I've already resorted to begging on Lenovo's community forums for ideas

It looks like I've encountered a problem with GPU passthrough on the workstation, but I should have a couple of options for workarounds at least

“Scrollbars are becoming a problem”

The current state of scrollbars is, on the face of it, objective evidence that the people who run tech do not give a single solitary fuck about usability or UX artemis.sh/2023/10/12/scrollba

@checkervest @hannah The whole caterpillars-turning-into-a-formless-slurry-before-becoming-butterflies-and-still-retaining-memory thing is pretty dope

After years of unsuccessfully trying to decode the message from the stars, another one was detected, almost identical. The scientists still made no progress until someone applied methods that hadn't solved the first message on the second.

"It worked?"

"The first had a typo."
