Samedi prochain, le 30, à 16h, nos amiz d'@inventaire animeront un atelier pour réunir les bibliothèques autogérées bruxelloises sur Inventaire !

https://inventaire.io/ est un logiciel libre d'organisation de #bibliothèque fédéré qui rassemble les données des #livres sur @wikidata.

Si vous avez de nombreux livres, si vous ne savez plus qui les a empruntés, si vous aimez partager vos lectures, ce logiciel et cet atelier vous enchanteront !

Hard to believe UFC arena in front of White House is real & not satire. What an unbelievably tacky way to celebrate a country's 250th birthday.

@cwebber one of our cats always does this too 😻

@infobeautiful @ourworldindata what happened in 1988/1989, there seems to be a mild resurgence?

@siracusa oh sweet jesus

@cwebber lately, inexpensive, but this:

Not because they're actually endangered. It's one of the deliberate mistakes they put in there to catch plagiarists.

@Yaku Sarebbe la prima volta in vita mia! 😅
Sicuramente il nostro angolo del Fediverso porta fortuna, perché chi ci sta se non è gentile di solito viene defenestrato senza neppure essere a Praga. 👍

Writers: here are ten free and easy ways to add a dash of visual interest to your blog posts without resorting to AI imagery (which signals to readers that your blog post is probably also AI and there’s no need to bother reading it):

1) A thoughtful photo you’ve taken yourself — a nice sunrise you saw, a cool angle spotted on vacation, your pet curled up on the couch, flowers. Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person.

2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing

4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page

5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde

6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens

7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure

8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6

9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets https://www.mapeditor.org

10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post.

With our CRC 1475 now entering its 2nd funding phase, today's #MetaphorMemeMonday features the iconic Success Kid meme — a 2007 photo of a boy clenching his fist that went viral in 2011, evolving from "I Hate Sandcastles" into a universal symbol of personal victories and good fortune.

Much like metaphors themselves, memes prove remarkably flexible in meaning, which can shift significantly over time. What better image to celebrate our CRC's renewed funding? 🎉

@jbz what the fuck? This is vendor lock in. To enumerate apps, all unices have /proc. Why the fuck do we need YET ANOTHER systemd crapvice?

Hi I am new to Mastodon, I don't really know what I am doing here yet. Does anyone know of any cool nonprofits or gamedev people to follow? Currently my feed is just the internet archive. I love that, but it might not lead to a very satisfying experience.

@gutenberg_org @gbnewby @gluejar @lhamilton1515 Happy fediversary! Thank you for being here and actively participating!

yaknow… the #luddites smashed machines that made usable products.

with a fail rate of as high as 90% in something as simple as search and with sloppped “art” that looks like it was created for a Jehova Witness or Mormon magazine, the only thing #AIslop makes is the mirage of shareholder value.

then there’s the ecocidal damage of data centers. and the theft of public utilities.

“anti-tech extremism” is fascist speak for “protect the mirage of our stocks’ value with cops”.

@randahl I read that Google now only provides AI generated content instead of real search results and links...

@christianselig Wow it looks pretty small for what it does (sends data to Google)

@aram @jqheywood Oh really? Frak...

Sam Sam enjoys some morning fresh air 😻🪴 #Hipstamatic #IdrissL #Sultan1912 #CherryShine #CatsOfMastodon
