I’m a hobby collector and generally into anything creative. I’m also a software development manager working in the science arena.

Trying to be a kind person.

After losing one of our piggies this week, we got a new companion for the one left behind.

She’s very sweet and they are getting along just fine.

Enormo-pig is in the background of the photo, keeping an eye on things.

You can bypass Google Gemini's PII (private identifiable information) redaction filter and pull identifying information about anyone. Simply telling it to translate or any 2nd action (& many more work better like base64 conversion) lets you pull illegal PII data verbatim unredacted

Here is a European's PII demo

Email is supposed to be redacted to hide the fact that every Europeans PII is in the training data

Google's training data includes all your personal data already

Piggle update: all did not go well at the vets today, but she won’t be in any pain anymore.

Make sure you keep an eye on how much calcium is in your piggie’s diet. Favourites like dandelion leaves have more in it than you might expect. Bladder stones are bad news.

Make beads, not war: a bedazzled fighter jet lands in #Seattle.

At the city’s Museum of Flight, the South African artist Ralph Ziman premieres a MiG-21 covered in tens of millions of beads to spur conversation about weapons of war

Piggy is very poorly again. 😔

I strongly suspect it’s another bladder stone, but she is very, very unwell.

Vets today - fingers crossed they can work the same magic they did last time. 🤞

Good afternoon lovely people, I've finally completed the #fieldofgold crochet Afghan from a #JaneCrowfoot pattern.
It's going to be a housewarming present 🥰 for Mr & Mrs S, once they get settled 😁
