Introducing the Filthy Human Hands v1.0 License
@RussSharek @s0 I used to love making pixel badges so much, I’ll definitely have a play with that! Thank you! 
And I’m totally down to trade stickers too, updating my stickers page is on the to-do list for the weekend!
Please add @SocialGaff to this thread. He's my co-shenanigator on this project.
Liam, I cosign the awesomeness of this person. ;)
Approved and follow requested back! :D
I love this idea.
I don't know whether we aught to put out the heads up when organizing more and more ways to broadcast involvement that it comes with the risk of additional botscraping attempts. I've at least heard rumor that attempts are being made of specifically feeding AIs media that's been labeled as human made, to offset the bots training on bot-created data spiral. (And we *know* this license is likely unenforceable)
I'm of a conflicted opinion because I want to be encouraging people with this, not discouraging. I just also don't want a webring getting botswarmed and that discouraging people itself.
@SocialGaff @RussSharek @s0 That reminds me, I keep MEANING to get an .htaccess file put together to block known AI scrapers/bots/everything.
Which I would, ofc, be very happy to throw in the pot for distribution and collective maintenance, if that would fit in the project repo? (I’ve never used GitHub for anything, so I’m very fuzzy on how it works. 
)
@RussSharek OK so I found a pixel art app that looked very nice, and I spent a bunch of time on this, and then discovered the app won’t export as a simple bitmapped image? My pixel perfect 88x31 badge will only export blurry. 😂😭
But, s’okay. It screenshot OK, and I can find a better app to trace it in. I think I need to tweak the hand a bit more anyhow… but whaddya think? @SocialGaff
I like where the design is heading for sure!
(growls at 'helpful' programs blurring things)
I TOTALLY understand. I'm answering this toot on a command line because GUIs make my primate brain spin. :)
@RussSharek @SocialGaff Command line mastodon. Daaaaamn.
I need my pretty GUIs. 😆
Which is why I love the fact that both types of tools exist.
Use what works for you.
For the record, I do use a GUI client as well sometimes. I find I get overwhelmed a lot faster, and I'm probably less eloquent when I try and type with my thumbs. :D
Definitely a great start :) Annooooooying that the app wouldn't do something so basic.
