@neatnik@social.lol I think that trying to get a community to remember which of 7 different granular hashtags they're supposed to use will become counterproductive super quickly. One more thought: the Fediverse already has many tools to hide content. If someone is posting AI stuff, labeled or not, and you don't want to see it, you can: not follow them, mute them, or block them. For me, that is enough. Even though I don't use generative AI and I rarely post anything here that has been edited with AI tools, I probably would not stay on omg.lol if this becomes a mandate as opposed to an encouragement. That's too heavy-handed, too restrictive on personal expression, and not the kind of community I want to be part of.

@neatnik@social.lol Here's my take on it, using image examples: Image 1: I prompt Firefly to create a picture of a man holding an apple. Image 2: I take a picture, with a camera, of a man holding an apple. There are annoying power lines in the background, so I open the image in Photoshop and prompt it to "remove power lines", which it does without needing further edits by hand. I think most people would view Image 1 as being "AI generated". But what about Image 2? Is that "AI generated"? Would they get the same hashtag? I think that unless you want to set up some vurrrrrry specific rules about what constitutes "AI generated", applying hashtags should be encouraged but not required.

Tomorrow is the big opening day for the D Line extension. I know I've pretty much squeeeeeeeed myself to death about it here, and you might be thinking: it's just a train, Laura - geez, chill.

But here's the thing. This will actually change where I go in the city. The first screenshot is the Transit app showing the routes/times for me to get from my place in DTLA to Wilshire/La Cienega today, and the second is the same trip tomorrow. From 53 minutes to 22 minutes. That's half an hour faster, and that makes a huge difference.

Kinda baffled at all these devs writing new apps and promoting them by only saying "try QAWDSX, my new app!"

What does your app do? What's it for? Why would I want it? How does it help my life? You've named it after a color or a city or a mood or some made up word or whatever - and you have given me no idea what it's for in any of your announcements. You've made it impossible for me to be interested in it. Bizarre.

It's May Day, people! Take to the streets!

https://song.link/y/9LbziknNpCE

And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields!
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
Let us be inspired by life and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above!

So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The Internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades, come rally
For this is the time and place!
The international ideal
Unites the human race

(And for those not in LA, yes, the t-shirts are real and purchasable. https://shop.metro.net/products/ride-the-d-heavyweight-t-shirt They have been hugely popular, as you might expect. They made ones for the other lines, too - I think largely as cover for the innuendo-y D Line one.)

She's wrapping up now, and is noting that AI does not have intuition, does not have understanding, etc - and that a human must always be involved and make the actual decisions. Again, at least a bit reassuring to hear someone teach this stuff in a non-hype-y way.

I'm listening to a webinar from the Small Business Administration on how to use Claude as a small business owner (101 beginner level). The presenter is utterly slamming ChatGPT - and Sam Altman, too - saying that it answers everything overly positively in order to give you dopamine hits. She's also saying to not use AI as a search engine, and definitely not as a "doctor". And basically, just don't use ChatGPT at all.

It's kind of reassuring, at least a tiny little bit, tbh - at least the presenter is surfacing some of the problems.

I finally found the tool I couldn't remember the name of ('Reform' in the Astute Graphics plugins) and had a go with it tonight. So this one is actually a revisit of the curly one from a few days ago - with the curves given a rather extensive facelift.

I do loves me a chonky ampersand.

My dad passed away 10 years ago today. Doesn't sting so much anymore, but I still miss him immensely. He played the piano so beautifully, so lushly - it was an extension of his voice, really. So I'll share one of his favorite songs, rendered on the piano by one of his favorite artists. September Song, played by Dave Brubeck.

Lighting a candle and pouring out a wee dram in your honor, Dad. Miss you.

@vekkq When I open any new window, the side panel is visible. I can close the panel, but if I open another window, that window opens with the side panel open. I do not want to disable the side panel entirely - I do use it . I just want Vivaldi to respect the fact that I have closed it and not open it automatically.

@jon @Vivaldi Now maybe you can hide the sidebar instead of opening it every single time I open a new window. Doesn't matter whether I close the window with it closed, whether I shut down the program with it closed, NOPE - new window means open sidebar. It is slowly driving me insane and yes, there is a bug report and no, I don't care about hiding the whole UI, I JUST WANT THE SIDEBAR TO STAY HIDDEN WHEN I HIDE IT. PS. This is the reason I do not recommend Vivaldi to friends anymore. Otherwise, it's a terrific browser, but this bug is infuriating and I won't inflict it on people I like.

Artist. Tinkerer. Angeleno. I make art with paint, with printmaking presses, with digital drawing tools, and with code. I also make things/objects/tools/widgets/gizmos, both tangible and intangible. I love things made with care, skill, and artisanship. I live in Los Angeles, on land originally (and still) inhabited and cared for by the Tongva People. https://gabrielinotongva.org

@leouieda Thank you! And I hope you enjoy the talk - I worked really hard on it and think it came out pretty well.

@glyph Thanks! And yes, do look at the CSS - I comment my CSS (well, really any coding I do) heavily, largely because it's usually months and months between edits, and it's easier to remember what something is for if I, you know, write down what it's for.

@justin Thank you! And yes, Pelican is working great for me - it's allowed me to do some quirky organizational stuff, like getting the "quips" and the longer posts into their own feeds and styling them differently, and so on. I should probably write up how I did that in case anyone else is looking to do something similar! 🤣 Anyway, thank YOU for putting Pelican out there and for all your hard work on it. It is a delight to use. 🙏

Lots of renewed talk about static site generators 'round these parts (which is awesome), so let me do a little shoutout to Pelican https://getpelican.com @pelican@fosstodon.org

I chose this over 11ty (which I did try!) because it's written in Python, which is one of the few (the only?) languages I know(ish), and because I'm more comfortable with their upgrade schedule (more like yearly instead of what felt like weekly with 11ty - that just stresses me out - YMMV, of course).

Anyway, it's a great little SSG if the other ones out there don't float your boat. It powers my site at: https://mitten.lol
