Last WIP impression of today. Detailing has started. No coloring done yet. I like the copper-like color he's got now. Maybe I'll keep that to a certain extent.
I think I'll name him Robo Mofo. 🤖
More will follow tomorrow. See other posts in this thread for more WIP impressions.
every morning, i wake up, i get up, i verify that i am not a bot.
i check all the traffic lights and type the wiggly numbers. i am very good at not being a bot.
i made a new bot, @internettime, designed to post the internet time every 50 "beats", which occurs 20 times per day.
anyone wondering what "Internet Time" is: it's a decimal time system where the day is divided into 1000 "beats", each 100 decimal seconds long. there are no time zones, so the internet time is the same all across the world. its purpose is to make international timekeeping easier, so instead of saying 8:30PM EST, you can say @104 beats. that way, anyone across the world (provided they're familiar with internet time) can understand without the need to do time zone conversions. read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time
also, if you want to know the internet time at any given moment, just mention the bot and include the phrase "gimmetime" anywhere in your message and it will reply to you!
i hope someone out there finds this neat timekeeping system as interesting as i do!
I posted a few things today, and suddenly, there are all these "helpful", "curated" #Bot accounts (all on Mastodon dot social) that are instantly boosting and faving my posts.
How can I block that?
I want #NoBot s in my feed. I already block all bots from following me.
Is there a way to block bots (all bots, not piecemeal...) from interacting with my posts?
Checked in the code which drives individual National Weather Service graphics and posts them to Mastodon here. You can adapt this bot to monitor any single image on the Internet and automatically post when it changes. #Mastodon#bot#softwarehttps://github.com/ai6yr/wxstory-single
