Just letting you know that the Lemmy.World stickies are broken again, and we’re still seeing Development Thread #54. I posted a link over there.
I don’t think there’s anything you or I can do about it. Took me a while to realize what was happening.
As always, thanks for these updates! They are very much appreciated even when I don’t actively engage. Additionally, I keep meaning to thank you for posting Nitter links for as long as you could. You’re awesome :)
I think you’ve fixed it! Right now the stickies are this thread and the 7-18 bulletin :)
Responding to your comment on thread #54: your early-April comment announcing this thread didn’t appear until I clicked on the link in your reply today. My click seems to have pulled it over. Which seems like a really strange federation issue, given that all your other comments seem to appear in world. Though I guess I wouldn’t know?
If I get a chance this weekend I’ll try to compare some World threads to Sh.itjust.works ones and let you know what I find!
1/4 "Barbarians" by Jacek Markusiewicz impresses me like no other recent work of #GenerativeArt has.
The images of majestic mountain slopes and neatly arranged fields – with occasional buildings strewn in between them – at first feel strangely detached and bland, thanks to a distant, aerial point of view and bleached, bright colours. Yet the way the landscapes are unexpectedly interrupted by smooth, deep, geometrical gashes appears alien and out of place.
2/4 This juxtaposition of nature and incomprehensible architecture gives rise to feelings of awe, wonder and sorrow, and reminds me a lot of what I feel when I look at the artist's previous masterpiece "Hollow", while aesthetic and subject immediately made me think of @monotau's equally astonishing 2022 #fxhash project "Cradle".
So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.
A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".
Oh look, #Kagi have re-opened that Brave feedback thread, and for whatever reason I spent an hour or so writing about my frustration while also (hopefully) teaching them something about being "apolitical".
Spotted five California condors at Navajo Bridge in Arizona. This was #54, who was the most aggressive and kept bugging all the others. He likes walking the tightrope with his wings outstretched, parading all over to flash his GPS tracker and tags. 🪶

1/4 A Pile, To Be Sorted by @spinkdinky (Chris McCully) combines a visualization of life's complexity with a metaphorical pursuit of clarity into captivating, vibrant, abstract pieces of art.
The artist dedicated it to his father and, in doing so, paid tribute to a piece of advice that he gave: To tackle life's challenges one small step at a time.
3/4 The artwork shows its inspiration in the concept of being overwhelmed, with its vivid, chaotic colors and jagged, intersecting layers. It reflects the intricacy of life's demands and how they can blend into an indistinguishable mass.
Yet, as McCully Senior suggests, by picking one task and focusing on it, we can begin to make sense of the chaos and watch the pile shrink. Each task, each responsibility, takes on its own unique shape and colour.
