i am not a social person. using social media in general is not my thing. using it in the hopes of 0.5% of my "audience" likes my shit enough to support me so i could eat is fucking torture at this point.

all i get from social media is anxiety, and i dont even use it much, i should really delete half the accounts at least you dont need my shit, i dont need this shit

hope it gets worse

before anyone gets offended i don't mind going first

i hope everyone fucking dies

fun fact — chrome was never good

yeah instead of pointing out the absolute mess in the details and shapes lets draw sloppy and imprecise lines as proof

all these datacenters and 2 minutes of ads on a 1 minute videos and piece of shit youtube cant seem to remember all "don't recommend channel" i pressed. and what the shit is this

i wish people disowned the term "smut" altogether, but who am i to wish

🤓

for the record, i don't give a shit about your favourite "influencer". "influencers" is what turned internet into another fucking TV. except worse. "opinion" is not a skill or profession, fuck off.

bitbutt ic v2, ui is more mobile-friendly, also moved to ic.btt.sx

— how do i X? — easy, to X you just Y! — Y doesn't work — that's known issue with Y, try A, B, J, N, Q and P first — Y is not even a thing — Y is in X docs, here's quote! — there's nothing about Y in X docs — you're right, i made that up, try Z — Z is not a thing either — you're right, you should Y

this a test post for my discord bot

i'm sorry but this is absolute dogshit, no indication (aside from a cutoff one) that there are more images and just trash ux on desktop

how many more options i can add and compact while still staying onscreen 🤔

imagine calling yourselves "ethical cloud" and asking for extra monthly payment to "guarantee services availability" 🙄

butt's come an even longer way

thinking about webp, made a js bookmarklet to pick any image on page and save to PNG (if blocked by CORS it'll open the image first and you'll have to click the bookmark again, it saves open images directly): gist.githubusercontent.com/xbost/ca4eb4... to use just add linked script as a bookmark

figured out tailbox.art/bitbutt with all processing off can be used to convert the dreaded webp to plain png. all things considered with "drop/open image and press button" is pretty snappy

another long day in the social anxiety mines

tailbox.art/bitbutt/ version 1.8: with video frame extraction and presets

sadly doing what i'm doing not going to bring money. i'm probably just going to literally die instead. 'cause when you ask of your ~50k followers to support and 1.5 people do — it's kinda hopeless. i guess they're all just gooners i need to do something else before my self-esteem is completely gone

wish i had money. not like to be rich or anything, but i'd like to be able to get a new pc when my 8 year old one gives up. or a new chair. or eat what i want. or take care of my health. or but i guess it just isn't meant to be

something is very wrong when random people can claim videos of a game just because they slopped up a shit AI vocal track over said game OST. Youtube's copyright system (and audio industry's in general) were always shit, but this is goes beyond.

even amazinger new dithering patterns

i learned to never trust screenshots many-many years ago, after finding out that document.designMode exists. you don't need no tools (except browser) to doctor anything. you just do document.designMode = "on" (in console or via javascript: bookmark) and go to town

what does /// mean in "... BEEN /// PART"? also fuck off

dudes be like "i hate AI slop" and then be reposting AI slop with fake moon craters. "you're not immune to propaganda" ©

can't remember where i've seen the post, but it went like "sora fell off when they removed copyrighted content, shows how unimaginative and lacking original thought their users were hohoho". not to defend ai slop but it's been like that since forever, fanart gets more views that "original content"

whatever, forget it. nobody wants to see this either

still struggling to understand is why it adds the same labels if they are already placed. even when more explicit label already exists. like it'll plop a "does not contain nudity" on a post with literal dicks i marked as "sexual activity and erotic nudity".

ehehe

finally got around to do this

think a lot of AI hype comes from code bros, simply because that fancy autocomplete can actually be useful when the result you seek is some discreet code state. and so they honestly believe it is the same for art. and it isn't. imagine if your claude copilot cursor generated compiled bytecode.

since i was a wee lad i was saying that there should be a separate internet for mobile devices. no offense but staring into 4-5-6 inch screen while commuting or something is not conducive to thoughtful participation in them world wide webs. and they didn't and it wasn't and now we're here.

tailbox.art/bitbutt/ version 1.5: now with random palettes and image pre-scaling. still no proper mobile device support. does anyone even care? probably not

frankly perplexed how some people go on about "soon everyone will get photorealistic games generated to their own liking". are they not aware of the current state of the art @ their beloved visual generation?

🙄

tailbox.art/bitbutt/ version 1.3, separate channels, more dithering patterns, also now accepts pasted images

butt's come a long way

operation successful, would never do this again

splicing rift cv1 cable is not a fun

that reminds me, i should implement presets since there's so many options now

ghost penus was created using bitbutt btw

tailbox.art/bitbutt/ hit v1.0(b), think i'm done for the time being, more than enough for my purposes

amazing new dithering patterns
