The seaflap arrived in time to go to Bungay Pride!

I'm off to see The Dark Room tomorrow at the Debug Games Festival in Norwich, so I decided to create myself a suitable name badge.

"This may be the first time someone has put on Resurrection of the Daleks as a palette cleanser" - my partner.

We have just watched episode 8 of The Amazing Digital Circus.

That hit hard.

We are literally watching episode 1 of Resurrection of the Daleks so we have something less dark to watch before going to bed.

Going through the music section of Kickstarter I noticed that Abney Park (a band I only heard of because of the Airship Pirates RPG) had a kickstarter for a live concert.

I was interested until I went to the "Use of AI" section where I saw their statement.

"We use AI in some of the marketing graphics because marketing is not what musicians should have to do for a living."

😩

Rachael wanted to send a message to you, but is currently avoiding social media.

Didn't say at the time as I didn't want to hold up the line but thank you so much for your solidarity and speaking up for trans people it means so much and gave a bit of brightness in the dark.

And thanks for introducing me to so many lovely things and people through your show.

P.S. The very exciting flint wall is the one on the north side of The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell south of St. Andrew's Church

People of Mastodon, I need some help translating something my mum used to say to me when I was young.

She would say in Flemish something like "curieuzeneuzen floorstitcher'.
I've worked out that curieuzeneuzen literally means "curious nose", but the part that sounded like "floorstitcher" has eluded me.

Sadly my mum passed away last week. She was born in Gent, but grew up in England. Remembering her today reminded me about the phrase.

On a related note, how does a country that small have 3 different dialects of flemish‽

I have attracted some attention from PitchHut who would like me to use their AI slop to promote my project that is all about removing AI slop.

They're also gamifying promoting projects, so in order for your project to be viewed by others, you need to look at other people's project promotions.

I hate this sort of thing. If you need to use gamification to drive views of your AI slop then you are part of the problem of the modern web.

With the recent announcement of Calibre now having even more AI integration (I wasn't aware of it before), I am thinking about maintaining a fork that strips out the AI integration completely.

If I do it will be called Clbre. I'd also be happy if someone else uses that name for the same thing.

This is something I wrote a while back, but it is still true now as it was then.

We're going on a Requirements Hunt.
We're going to catch a full one!
We're not scared.

Hi, I'm Lisa, a trans-femme non-binary computer programmer who is (sometimes) amazed that people pay her to do what she loves doing every day.

In my spare time I play TTRPGs, boardgames, computer games, and sometimes mess around with computers and microcontrollers.
