in hindsight it may have been a mistake to google "gimp mask" to try to figure out how to do a layer mask in gimp, the free and open source equivalent of photoshop
X owner Elon Musk today floated the idea that the social network formerly known as Twitter may no longer be a free site. In a live-streamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, Musk said the company was “moving to a small monthly payment” for the use of the X system. He suggested that such a change would be necessary to deal with the problem of bots on the platform.
“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots,” explained Musk. “Because a bot costs a fraction of a penny — call it a tenth of a penny — but even if it has to pay…a few dollars or something, the effective cost of bots is very high,” he said. Plus, every time a bot creator wanted to make another bot, they would need another new payment method.
Musk didn’t say what the new subscription payment would cost, but described it as a “small amount of money.”
@thor yeah that's why i'm asking, since you're pretty much freeloading off your country, and i am interested to know what is it so difficult in life for you after your basic biological needs are met, ngl i'd be pretty happy if i was in your place
@thor maybe you should just accept that life is pointless and stop seeking meaning in your existence, this is just silly, just think about what things you really enjoy doing and do exactly that
there is this game i really like but it's short as hell, so basically what i want is to make a spiritual successor to it, with a bunch of my own touches, of course
Nobody loves me, every one loves the masks I crafted for specially for each person. Its the only way I can exerience love. I am nothing without them. Take the mask off and I have no head.
Take my clothes off and I cease to exist. This is a mask too, one that I wear alone in the mirror.
social mediums can often feel like this. lots of interaction but it's superficial and there is no real connection. i don't particularly care for having more mutuals on fedi. a handful of people on Signal/Discord/Telegram that i can have deep and fluid one-to-one conversations with would be more valuable and better for my well-being.
