@farah are we in "asking for a friend" territory here?
@nxskok lol no it was a proper can on iced tea. Had to throw it away
I find it astounding that the most ethical use case of A.I. is don't use it as an A.I.

I know a lot of people were upset / disappointed by the recent @Blender Anthropic collaboration announcement. It's good to hear that the org listened to the community and scaled back away from their previous partnership arrangement. I'm sure lots of people will still be disappointed and for some it won't be enough, but in many ways it's also refreshing to have an organization listen to such feedback.
@reiddragon @ryanc I see nothing wrong here :3
@catsalad @reiddragon looks fine to me
Am I the only person who, after 30 years of using `/bin/ln`, *still* gets its arguments backwards?
If I type:
$ ln -s x y
My mind is always thinking: “I want a symlink where x ⇒ y”, and as such I incorrectly put the destination *before* the source.
I am sure `ln` is this way in #POSIX to match the behavior of `cp` & `mv`. The latter two are intuitive to me because I read it as “copy/move x to y”.
$ ls -l y
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bkuhn bkuhn 1 May 2 14:39 y -> x
“y ⇒ x” … See!?!?!
@bkuhn pretty much every time
Sometimes I'll think to just type it without args to get the sequence
Male fragrance sections at shops are always so sad. Would you like to smell like you just downed a bottle of gin, like a leather couch, or like you were sitting on the wrong side of a campfire? Women get all the nice fruits and flowers. This stuff shouldn’t be gendered anyway like most things.
@Gargron I have been saying: Women’s shampoos are “peach” and “rose”, men’s shampoos are “tires” and “punch in the face”.
@reiddragon @ryanc I see nothing wrong here :3
To echo some chatter I've been seeing: I encourage you to explore the broader diversity of art out there, beyond what you see in pop culture!
It takes a willingness to explore, but you may find something truly special out of it! Something which resonates uniquely you. The Red Panda swears it!
That's why I comment on what I'm (re)listening to, I want to check these shows out.
P.S. I see some hints that this chatter's prompted in part by the new Harry Potter show. Meh.
Too soon?
@aggiepm 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Too soon?
a KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop. the CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent." and the KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!" to which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"
Happy #Baturday! I have an extra special introduction this week.
🥹 Please meet Una.
She is this season’s first orphaned bat, and she is the very first neonate I’ve rehabbed.
Una’s origin story is murky and sad but I will post that down thread behind a CW.

I generally think it’s just not on to comment about other people’s physical appearance, but I’m gonna break my own rule and say that just about everyone who’s had one of these procedures looks terrible. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opinion/plastic-surgery-rich-face.html
@adamgreenfield i miss the plastic surgery disasters web site.
Does anybody out there game on LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition)? What's your experience with Steam on that distro?
Je reprends l'envie de coder des trucs à la volée pour du perso. Ça n'est pas la même chose, mais désormais je me perds beaucoup moins dans des choses que je ne finis jamais. J'ai du résultat, rapide, et ca ne coûte pas énorme de tout changer en permanence.
@quixoticgeek The one piece of sewing I was particularly proud of was on a silk tie. Tension had to be bang on. I did a lovely job, until I realised my trousers were involved.
@_thegeoff normally I sew things to my skirt. Have done that far too often.
