Can you imagine how much legislation we would not need if software engineering had an enforceable duty to users?
I think a lot of people miss that professional responsibility is not only about limiting you, it gives you the power to say no in unethical situations to the people who would make a lot of money off of the unethical choice.
Can you imagine how different the current software infrastructure would be if everyone writing code had the ability to say no, we can't do that it would harm users and no one in my profession can do that and not risk their career?
Got some not-so-great news this week, which may eventually lead to better news.
The bad news: my vision loss has been caused by untreated MS, which I've probably had since my 20s.
The good news: now I know, I can get treatment, and I MAY get some vision back. Which would mean I could draw again.
Also, this particular drawing got stolen from a gallery in Seattle, so if you've seen it anywhere, please let me know!

Apparently, there's a Fediverse game jam coming up in a month!
If you ever wanted a reason to work together with some of the cool artists/composers/devs that you've met on the fediverse, this could be a good excuse!

Yesterday, users of mstdn.social instance lost their connections to artists at mastodon.art instance ( src: https://framapiaf.org/@Curator@mastodon.art/110570978375947500 ). I hope giving visibility to this issue will help them to restore the broken bridges.
Morning sketch-stream results!
You guessed it: More gay stuff.
I mean I usually draw gay stuff, but it's pride month so I have to draw gay stuff EXTRA HARD right now.
Anyway. It's robot girlfriend maintenance time!
