@heliomass Will you cross the picket line and continue to post Montréal transit status updates, or will your honour your countrymen and stop posting during the London Tube drive strikes? 😃
2h agoJohn Apple to replace Tim Apple. Let's see the shape of 24 carat the golden dildo he will chose to deliver in person to the orange shitstain.
This was the best show on tonight, no scrolling needed.

Condo dogs spot feral bunnies in the park. If not friend why friend shaped?
Great #UniversityChallenge final today. Top quizzing, with great work from both teams. Some good luck and some bad luck, but mostly a lot of knowledge on a huge range of subjects.
Thanks to this episode I learned the largest time difference between two contiguous countries is 3.5 hours, between China and Afghanistan (thanks to its sticky-out Badakhshan Province).
Chatting with someone about the community band I play trombone in.
"Is that the one that plays down at Bronte park in the summer?"
Yes it is!
"The one with all the old guys?"
um....Maybe there's two bands? Is that possible?
Finally 👀
"Folks, this is a real breakthrough. The mainstream media has been tiptoeing around Trump’s dementia, malignant narcissism, and craziness for this entire year, either tiptoeing around the topic with all sorts of euphemisms or refusing to address it at all. But now it’s being openly discussed. And now that the subject’s been broached, I think it will be more and more."

I get the good intentions of the encyclopedia diagrams showing the different software packages, but I do not think it works at all.
I didn't answer this one. I usually do people as nodes, with some kind of boundary to indicate instances. Thanks all!

Regardless, it seems from the replies that most people answered the question as asked.
When I see AI-generated images on the Fediverse, it's one of two things. Either people seem to genuinely believe the photo is real, like with some fake deep-sea creatures a few months back. Or, the image is newsworthy on its own, like the Trump Jesus thing.
If I estimate, I think this happens maybe once or twice a week, so 1 out of 100 or maybe 200 images.
So, I'd say 0-25%.
Thanks everyone!
One of these days I'm going to get actual video of this but so far I end up laughing too hard to grab the phone at the right moment ...
My large round cat only has about 2" of her tail left. However, she seems to have zoomies attacks that involve a phantom tail phenomenon, and occasionally spins herself clear off a piece of furniture chasing her own stubby little butt in very fast circles.
Second, because modern cameras use a lot of AI features. Lighting, autofocus, deblurring, all that processing.
Thank you everyone.
I came up with two reasons that this question could be misleading.
First, because I'm not sure it's fair to say that an LLM-generated image is a "photograph" in any meaningful way. So, maybe no photos are LLM-generated.
Pointe Calumet on Lac des Deux Montagnes.
Level: 24.076
Record for today: 24.115
So just 4cm below record level.
We have to wait to see how much higher it goes.
Carillon water flow still rising, but with small up/down, so can,t see any downward trend yet. (pic 2).
