I will probably delete this toot later.
I have seen AI-generated images containing the same elements (e.g. an AI-generated image with the same amount of cats, two small, and one large white cat with intricate golden patterns, a lotus flower, and a remaining coin at the top) & the same colors in my artwork. I especially mean the right picture in the three-pictured layout.

How should I feel about such situations?

Ai Products which I found next to my Six of Coins artwork.

@sylvia_ritter I have nothing constructive to add, I'm afraid, but I wanted to say: I absolutely love your style there. That Disco Dingo is so frikken cool!

Heads-up, / devs: if you get failed builds due to a "Command CompileAssetCatalog failed with a nonzero exit code” error in 15.3, it's probably one of the SVGs in your asset catalog. The SVG likely uses <feGaussianBlur/>, making Xcode throw a tantrum

Update: builds on Xcode 15.3 seems to fail if there are any SVG in asset catalogs, period.

czottmann,
@czottmann@norden.social avatar

@roanutil Interesting… Albeit they worked fine for me as well up until I switched to Xcode 15.3. My guess is that the SVG parser doesn't like some SVG structures less than others, and I'm really too annoyed about that to debug it even further 😉

PS: They weren't a problem for the macOS build but for the iOS build. Same SVG, same asset catalog. 🤷🏻‍♂️

On Vivaldi

I switched to Vivaldi as my main browser after using Safari for years. Read how I did my setup and what I like and what not.

@oliver Top. Ich wünschte, ich könnte das Translation-Icon aus der URL-Leiste entfernen… so viele Icons, und ich komme mit Lingvanex echt nicht klar. So viele grammatikalische Fehler in EN→DE-Übersetzungen, ugh. DeepL FTW.

@oliver Du MVP. Ich hab die ganze Settings durchsucht und nix Passendes gefunden. Wollte halt nicht ALLES deaktivieren und einzeln re-aktivieren, I got shit to do

@oliver Danke! Ja gut, eigene CSS-Files und so, klar, aber ich hatte auf irgendein verstecktes Setting gehofft… 😅

Nun ja, muss dann wohl

Überraschend klare Worte vom #Flensburg-OB zur #Klimakrise, Sturmfluten und der Verantwortung der Stadt bei #Hochwasser:

> Wer hier wohnen möchte und arbeiten möchte, muss sich den Investitionen stellen oder irgendwann sein Eigentum aufgeben. […] Wir werden Stadtentwicklung heute anders denken müssen […] Hochwasser-Grundstücke werden einem enormen Preisverfall unterliegen. […] Den Kommunen sind dann irgendwo auch die Grenzen gesetzt.

Da stimme ich 100% zu.

  • get website done
  • record quick’n'dirty “this is what it lets you do” video
  • get a haircut
  • get some plugin work done

Onwards!

Let's do this! 🤙🏼

So I'm working on another #macOS app that adds #Shortcuts support to apps that don't have them. Namely… to all of them. 😅

UI Actions adds #ShortcutsApp actions for selecting/showing menus, clicking buttons, hitting keys, typing text. It's a very reduced set of functions right now but I wanted to get the beta out of the door, and “perfect” is the enemy of "ever”.

macOS 13.3+. The public beta opens (checks watch) now. And here's the website:
