I had a weird dream last night about this thing. We built it with a meat 3D printer and genetic engineering, to win a scavenger hunt.
Well, except in my dream it was skinless like a Resident Evil dog, very fleshy and vagina-dentata-esque. Didn't realize until I sketched it how much the face resembles a weepinbell (the Pokémon).

The meme popped into my head when thinking about this one, so that's what I went with! This is also my very first piece of Jojo fan art (maybe my first piece of anime/manga fan art ever too, come to think of it!) It's pretty fun drawing figures so dramatically! I wish I had a better eye for such poses without a reference, maybe someday if I keep up my drawing practice!
Not much to say on this one, just some fun animals! Tried to play a little more with blur blending and texturing.
Unfortunately, I gotta say this is a word that has become sadly associated with a certain world leader that I think we all tire of hearing about. (Really ruined a word I loved for the top suit in playing cards as well!)
Annnnyway, a nice handshake is still a well-recognized symbol for closing a deal, so I decided to get some hand and shading practice in today. Happy drawing!
Drawing fleur-de-lis is really hard! They seem so simple but all those symmetric curves get away from you so easily! Still, I'd like to better at drawing them since they're so strongly tied to NOLA. I couldn't get it right with my digital tablet though, so I went old school paper, pencil, and ink for this one!
And my last one for today, Blunder! Portrait of the artist as an anxious piece of shit trying to cross off some todo list items!
I don't really think it's a mistake to commit to a month of daily doodles, and I really think my sketching is improving with the practice, but forcing myself to sit down today and get caught up did feel daunting up front.
I think this one is my favorite for today. I didn't mean to make him so... rotund but I kind of like it! It's like a spooky balloon, just floating on by!
Catching up with day 14, Trunk. Went pretty literal on this one, just drew a plain, unassuming little chest. Might have some good treasure in it! Maybe you should go check? Also a great place to store like, yarn or old bottles or whatever you've got in the attic.
Pardon my progress, I wasn't able to sit down and draw until today so I rapid fired the last 4 days of prompts to get caught up! Who's thirsty? Cause I'm ready to shower you all with art!
I'm really impressed that I've kept this going for past a week! Today is Reckless, which could go all kinds of ways. Very curious to see what other people are doing with it today!
I probably should have drawn a body, but I was playing catch up from yesterday and I don't want to spend more than about an hour max working on these. I feel like it's better practice to work on fewer, more impactful strokes and to do more frequent drawings. Less perfectionism, more practice. Less scribbling, more intention. Made with krita.
Oh hey, I forgot to share with Lemmy too! I though it'd be fun to get some practice with my drawing pad by goofing off with Inktober this year!
There is no place for Fascists within the Open Source and Free Software communities or the society at large. You will never fester your poisonous roots here. Go back to the cave you crawled out from where no sunlight can reach.
NAZI! DEVS! FUCK! OFF! 💯
More realistic versions:
Waterfall: the car is "finished" at the end, but replace the engine with a huge roaring fire. The Dev team continues to put the engine fire out and build the engine for 3x the original project duration.
Agile: replace the cute scooter and bicycle with the partial car graphics from Waterfall, but mount a uniccyle seat and then a park bench on top of the partially built car.
AI: the whole thing should always be on fire, and have several spies from different countries taking pictures of it constantly.
Without pointless censorship: (did you know you can fucking cuss all goddamn day on Lemmy?)
How i feel about self-censorship to appease corporate social media:
It's an untenable situation because its so much bigger than the tech world and open source. FOSS fundamentally works on a communal model: everyone needs lots of software, no one can hope to write it all themselves, so what if we distributed the labor out among the community so that everyone can work on some things important to them and the whole community benefits.
Then, capitalist businesses entered the picture and began using more and more open software as backbone for their enterprises. Government entanglements further complicate the picture, but fundamentally the capitalist mindset is incapable of building or maintaining our current technological base. It isn't capable of maintaining or building our infrastructure either: almost all of that was built on government subsidies, socialism.
And now that vulture capitalism is the law of the land, everything is falling apart because there's no more "slack" in the system where people can engage in personal socialism on projects like FLOSS, every bit of our time is being stolen to pad the numbers of capitalists.
This bleeds over into attitude as well. Every entitled user who thinks their personal issue is more important than any other concern is a trump or musk in miniature, believing that the the blowhard bravado of our current government is a model for forcing work to get done rather than a death spiral there's no pulling out of.
You want FLOSS software that's good? You want less burden on maintainers? You want a safer, saner, more human-centric technology base? You want a better tech world?
Eat. The. Rich.
I'm sure folks on here know this, but you know, there's also that 10K a day that don't so...
What makes this especially funny, to me, is that SSN is the literal text book example (when I was in school anyway) of a "natural" key that you absolutely should never use as a primary key. It is often the representative example of the kinds of data that seems like it'd make a good key but will absolutely fuck you over if you do.
SSN is not unique to a person. ~~They get reused after death, and a person can have more than one in their lifetime (if your id is stolen and you arduously go about getting a new one).~~ Edit: (See responses) It seems I'm misinformed about SSNs, apologies. I have heard from numerous sources that they are not unique to a person, but the specifics of how it happens are unknown to me.
And they're protected information due to all the financials that rely on them, so you don't really want to store them at all (unless you're the SSA, who would have guessed that'd ever come up though!?)
It's so stupid that it would be hilarious if people weren't dying.
Well that's good, I was just getting close to running out of the old planets.
which could delay certification of Trump’s 2024 election victory on January 6.
The MAGA movement, newly emboldened by Trump's election victory, storms the capital again to overthrow the Trump administration and install a more pro-Trump regime.
The correct answer is telling your asshole relatives that they need to do a match with the mini-goliath themselves if they think they're so tough. Then they either have to play along with the bit or else they're the asshole who hurt a child's feelings. (Spoilers if they're like my family: they will, but then you and the lil bro can bond over that shared trauma. Ah, family!)
Because the ruling class is terrified
Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.
That would be the symbol\operation called TRUE or TOP or "tautology" which is always true. They're actually missing quite a few of the weirder ops, including implication and ~~biconditional\iff\if-and-only-if~~. (Edit: Actually I think XNOR is also the biconditional. I guess pretend like I said "material implication" and "reverse implication". Fricken booleans man!)
