You don&#39;t need to be an artist to create #art. I threw together this line drawing in literally 10 minutes using entirely free software. My &quot;ferocious&quot; #dog Sally enjoys trying to bite at flies, and so I wanted to turn a photo of her doing so into a drawing, mostly to prove a point to a stranger on the internet who said they needed 🤮AI🤮 to do it for them

My battle against Slack&#39;s autostart shennanegins is finally won! The problem: I set Slack to auto-start on my system, which works once.
