The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger#Sexual_abuse

Meanwhile, sabotaging AI datasets. 😆

A video screen recording of Krita application. On the canvas, an artwork of mine ( "A witch of Magmah" sources on peppercarrot.com, artworks category ) . The video show how I use the selection tool around a finger of the character, and duplicate it. A little paint-over, and you have a hand with 6 fingers. If you don't get it: here some background. My art is part of many AI dataset without my consent. The AI have issue to denoise statistically the area containing fingers, and it result often into characters with problems into fingers. By adding a new finger at the source of the datasets, I'm expecting a huge sabotage in the learning of the correct amount of finger in illustration :-P Note: It's a joke.

Yesterday, users of mstdn.social instance lost their connections to artists at mastodon.art instance ( src: https://framapiaf.org/@Curator@mastodon.art/110570978375947500 ). I hope giving visibility to this issue will help them to restore the broken bridges.

My version of the character Ada from "Ada & Zangemann", a Creative Commons license (BY-SA) book for children and a funny story about Free/Libre and Open-Source. It's written by Matthias Kirschner and illustrated by Sandra Brandstätter. It is great to see new characters in the Free Culture, especially because Ada is so cool. 💜
You can find it printed in English, French, German, Italian → https://fsfe.org/activities/ada-zangemann/

Stop sending me your novels or texts written by an AI.

I definitely don't want to read or be exposed to AI output. I don't want to AI-poison my imagination with the most statistical tropes, and a big mix of story data that might be plagiarism from I don't know what source. Furthermore, I think that feeding my imagination with human-made imaginary is a better diet to train my own ideas.

(I thought it was obvious, but apparently it's not. I'm writing this to pin to my profile.)

Rant about the world of social media and marketing:

My latest (very recent) shock was receiving an email from a digital painting software company (I can't name them) asking me my price to switch my entire workflow to their proprietary product and announce it on my channels.

Of course I refused.

I'm still 100% committed to Free/Libre&Open-Source Software. But it made me realise that these days even profiles without a huge internet presence are getting paid to use and advocate things. Meh 😔

🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.

A photo of the Lenovo 370 Yoga device, running Fedora with a digital quick painting of Carrot in Krita done in the train. The keyboard on screen is 'onboard' and the system settings shows the Fedora logo. A terminal windows has 'Hello World!' written on it.
A photo of tweaks and DIY I do on the top of a Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus. Label: - Dots of varnish to feel the buttons - I removed the metalic part at the end. - Textured tape.
