@spacebuffer@fosstodon.org In a previous life I worked as an illustrator - spent the first ~4 years of my career developing my drawing skills by doing it every day

I have a couple articles on various parts of my illustration process: https://maggieappleton.com/topics/how-to-illustrate

Hope something in there is helpful!

@ctietze@mastodon.social Thanks 😄 The fun bit of writing is just playing with silly CSS tricks and layout. Content is meh.

@rogersegu@openedtech.social @Downes@mastodon.social I think watermarking could help a bit (maybe more in an education context), but I'm expecting the line between human/LLM will blur a lot. We'll co-create with them, so it'll be hard to tell what's 90% LLM / 10% human, or vice versa. Watermarking would help filter out content made via large-scale automation, and incentivise people to still write some/all of the content.

@dynom@toot.community What are carbon units in this context? I only know them as a numerical value of how much carbon is used for a specific process. Something else here?

@strandell@mastodon.design Ooh that's a good expansive prediction on this – expecting more walls and tests to pass to prove you're human before you can access protected content.

Dug through an old external drive last week and found a long lost gem!

In high school I went through a phase of elaborately redesigning my desktop and keeping a screenshot record each time.

Much skeuomorphism. Many novelty icons. I miss this time.

Every time I directly check the replies to my own tweets, up to 50% of them are new to me and didn't show up at all in notifications.

Twitter is having lots of small, subtle system failures, but this one seems egregious.

Whole conversations left hanging! Sacrilege!

Best part about listening to podcasts on a run is the strong visual-spatial memory linked to points in the pod.

Ideas live at locations. A point about debugging tools lives at the brick bridge. An idea for spatial interfaces goes with the blue corner house.
