Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

Tracy Deonn's Legendborn series is the kind of sharp, gripping YA that it's impossible not to get hooked on. Arthurian legends and secret societies but without all the racism swept under the carpet. In fact, faced head-on and with rightful fury.

It's late spring, and the big fluffy bumblebees have descended on the garden en masse 😍

✅ Multi-tabbed explorer for accessing & managing files across a labyrinthian & ever-shifting file system
✅ Default Wob Browser for all your Internot needs
✅ A friendly and helpful voice that periodically emanates from somewhere behind you

Honestly I thought I'd see more artists chiming in to get Blender to ban AI:
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/ai-contributions-policy/44202

There's still time if you're an artist or developer and you want to see blender put out a policy that commits to not using LLMs at all, for anything.

Edit: This seems to have gotten 67 boosts but not a single person chimed in :[

Edit 2: Thanks for chiming in everyone! If they shut down the thread, please just create a new one. I don't want them to worm their way out of this. AI is horrific for the environment. It contributed to the US war industry. It hurts artists and programmers alike. It is a danger to us all and I don't want to see it in art programs, at all. Krita took a stance against it. It's not impossible to be against AI and also create programs for artists.

Also, just so it's clear, if you're an AI bro or a centrists with AI bro friends, I will just block you. I don't have time for your opinions.

It’s nice to see the “April 25th is the perfect date, not too hot and not too cold” joke, because here in Italy it’s Liberation Day, the anniversary of the day in which Nazis and Fascists got kicked out of the major Italian cities. Perfect date indeed

I doodled Hornet sitting on a frog chair, which I had in my mind for months, since it came up in the first stream when @samikelsh started playing Silksong and speculated about the crafting system and being able to craft a frog chair...

Given the situation in the US I'm now living in Canada, and I'm looking for a new job as my current one is obviously American. If you are or know a Canadian employer with use for a person in Toronto with a good understanding of SQL databases, Linux administration (mostly Debian but I can do Fedora), HTML-based Web backends, ServiceNow, and Microsoft cloud offerings, plus some networking experience (office networks and outbound-filtering firewalls), technical writing skills, and significant programming experience with Rust, Python, C#, and PowerShell, please get in touch via email or DMs.

Motivated by the renewed attention surrounding our 1990s Moon Child game on Bluesky, I did a search on my HDD, and found back some pencil-on-paper concept sketches I made for the game at the time. 🙂

Ever since @feff showed me a pic of the stronger Elvanse pill and I made the comment that it had the same colour combination as Eikes hair...
Well. I gotta draw it

I'm hiring for a Senior Software Engineer position on the Player Team at Plex. We're looking for someone with low-level video playback knowledge & experience. If you think you might be that person, please apply, if you think you might know that person please send them along, or if you think that person could follow you please boost! 🚀

We get so many AI generated resumes that are obviously bullshit, it'd be great to have a few more real candidates in there!

We're halfway through April and nearing the end of tax season in Canada~

Add-on to my previous "my experience with" personal finance/investing posts - I made a new post about tax resources for Canadian artists/creators!

PSA: the City of Toronto is accepting applications for this year's Air Conditioner Assistance program for low-income seniors & new families!

If you are low-income, and
a) 65+ and have a medical reason, or
b) are pregnant or have an infant under 1 year old,
you can apply to get a portable air conditioner!

Details at the link. If you know someone who could use this, pass it on. If you like the idea and/or want to see the program expanded, email your councillor/the mayor and tell them. Heck, email even if you're not even from Toronto. These things can make a difference.

well hello again, I would still really love to #getFediHired. US, remote work.

all the things I said previously (https://flipping.rocks/@inherentlee/114230874324783924) are still true - I've got 7 years experience at Microsoft in cloud infrastructure (particularly containers and Kubernetes) and devOps; I'm in my zone teaching, communicating, and documenting; and I have a strong focus on accessibility and team culture.

I've also spent the last while, both a bit at Microsoft and then much more deeply since unemployment, doing web development with a focus on web accessibility. Personal websites, blogs, and hobby sites are my jam, whether starting fresh or helping with a redesign, and I'm happy to take on freelance projects. Reach out and we can talk scope, pricing, and design ideas.

You can view my resume on my website at https://leecat.art/resume/
