I just spent the last 24 hours building... a free tool to create your very own handwriting font quickly within the browser (no logins, all local processing): https://arcade.pirillo.com/fontcrafter.html Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Love this visualization of the Kármán line (where space begins) and low Earth orbit. Via @pbump’s newsletter.

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

I'm using the NHS Weight Loss app to count calories. I was disdainful of such apps at first because I can count calories myself; I don't need an app to do that. But it is really useful having a dedicated little app that organises and adds it all up for me.

Having an oil industry makes you a target of United States imperialism. Ditching fossil fuels is a national security and sovereignty imperative.

Happy International Women's Day to all women except for whoever at my workplace got poo on the wall, Jesus Christ

Tenderstem broccoli pisses on asparagus from a great height.

Caturday with the Night Haunter being eeeeextra long! #caturday #catsofmastodon #catstodon

"Not all men" You're right, Rob Halford from Judas Priest would never.

Dog with those voice sample floor buttons and it just presses the Wilhelm scream button repeatedly

It's my 40th birthday next month and I have no idea what I want. I already have all the stuff I could ever want/that will fit in my home.

Good for B&Q. https://www.insightdiy.co.uk/news/bq-announces-rollout-of-stomafriendly-toilets-across-stores-nationwide/16066.htm

Ian Huntley dead. I'm not sad that he's dead, but that's a massive failure of the prison that another prisoner was able to obtain a weapon and kill him.

I hope the US and Israeli armies fucking obliterate each other.

Are there any sign combos that make a different valid sentence in different sign languages? Like, I dunno, the same signs say 'my bum is full of eels' in British sign language and 'the pen of my aunt is in the garden' in Italian sign language or something.

Pushed some French bread up my botty. Pain in the arse.

not to sound alarmist, but _hits a metal pot with a wooden spoon and screams LALALALALALALALA_

Today I learned that Pokemon Black and White 2 has a reference to Margaret Thatcher. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Type_Expert_Tournament/Steel#Margaret "That's just a character called Margaret." Look at the 'in other languages' table.

Pea is stored in the balls (chickpeas in falafel)

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts. Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.

we had a discord server?

Better to piss in the sink than sink in the piss.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I dreamed last night that I had a hybrid digital/film camera. You took pictures with it digitally and could preview them, and then choose which ones to 'transfer' to film. Is this a thing?

"Why are you putting a bunch of blackthorn berries into that heated pan?" It's a sloe cooker, innit.

Just had a sighted person tell me they often use clients and programs that were made for us, they don’t use screen readers, but they use clients like oh i don’t know a blind Mastodon client, SonarPad, as an example, because they said, the interface is 1000 times cleaner, there’s a lot of […]

Time flies like an arrow. Most other flies prefer shit.

God: [creates humans] Humans: [creates fursonas] God: Ohh shit, yours is way cooler lmao

[Bum update] Listening to a hard house set and I farted just as an airhorn played. I thought I'd done an amazing fart!

The most surprising thing for me about Dicksword announcing its age verification was the discovery of how many people had Nitro (as evidenced by people talking about cancelling it). I never had it because I didn't want to pay real money to staple twinkly stuff to what is essentially Fancy IRC.

Optician using the toilet: "Number one... or two?"

Browt looks like Temu Rowlet.

Greens and Lib Dems should merge. So many people are both disappointed by Starmer's Labour and have 0 desire to give Reform any ground.

Mastodon needs a 'copy alt text' option. When someone posts an image of text with an alt text transcript (good!) I want to be able to grab just that text so I can share it with someone without making them click on a link to see that same text in a picture.

Hilarious. Brave new world.

New article out about what a million satellites could do to our atmosphere. It's bad. https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366

My color memory is a 40.6/50. Please do worse so I feel better. https://dialed.gg/?c=YD96AU Fun little timewaster.

@bestiaexmachina I thought you might appreciate this review of terrible UI design in macOS Tahoe. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

Realtalk if you out there trying to ruin people's lives over kinks that upset you in this day and age you are a collaborator, end of discussion If your callout isn't about shit the person in question *personally did to you* I don't want to fucking hear it and you should feel ashamed for making it

[UK politics, terrorism, islamophobia] There's been an attack on a mosque and it's been declared not a terrorist attack. But literally what else could it be? There's no non-terrorism reason to attack a mosque during Ramadan.

Me: Where are you from? Person 1: Niger. Person 2: Nigeria. Person 3: [trying to impress me] Nigeriest.

[Bum update] I'm going to be late for work because I'm doing an absolutely huge and vile period shit.

@Soblow I can't remember if I ever told you that your button wall and its accompanying info page absolutely slaps, but in case I didn't: they slap, and I legit spent over an hour browsing (hey everybody else, here is Soblow's introduction to the buttons: https://xaselgio.net/posts/25.buttons/ […]

If you crossbred a mobula ray with a wobbegong you could get a mobblygong.

UK government to ban pens and paper because someone might conceivably draw a pair of tits and a child might see it and the child's eyes would pop out.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

[Self indulgent whinge] I occasionally search for my AO3 name on the Skibidi Toilet subreddit, because people sometimes make nice comments. I found one saying my fics are so OOC that I've 'butchered' the characters and it's 'uncomfortable' to read. They're allowed to think that, of course, and […]

I brought a load of decorative pennants to the labyrinth in Slime Rancher 2 and I'm placing them as I go to point my way back to the entrance. I feel so damn smug.

I wonder how many children have been gifted toys of Huggy Wuggy (from Poppy Playtime) by well-meaning relatives who got it confused with Macca Pacca (from In the Night Garden).
