Please do not send any unsolicited software design patterns
Considering Discworld is a relatively niche fandom, we're incredibly lucky to have the Discworld Emporium ( https://www.discworldemporium.com/ ) creating high quality products featuring new artwork from fantastic artists, and https://discworld.com providing products featuring much loved original Discworld artwork.
So please, buy from those websites to support them rather than the random t-shirt sellers that pop up with unlicensed and/or copied designs.
Arguments against AI image generation: "People should know their worth and get paid for their work"
Arguments in favour of AI image generation: "Won't someone think of the venture capitalists?!"
Whenever I sneeze with my cat in the room she runs away, but whenever I sneeze when my cat isn't in the room, she runs in and looks at me. I have narrowed it to a few possibilities...
1. She suspects my loud noise indicates that there is a foe that we might murderize or otherwise menace together.
2. She is reminded that I exist, and that she hasn't yelled at me for at least 5 minutes
3. She thinks I may have croaked it, and "there's good eating on one of those"
Cat science fact of the day: The only reason cats don't respond to their name is the limited human vocal range. If humans were able to name their cats <sound of a food packet opening> we would be able to summon them with ease
Important thought of the day: If you're rate limited when accessing an API, is the server telling you to both give it a rest *and* not to REST?
Decided to take Debian Trixie (testing) out for a spin.
If it helps anyone, some nvidia cards (specifically the 3070 in my case) don't appear to be well supported by the non-proprietary driver yet. With KDE, the system was very slow, hitting 100% CPU usage over all cores, and with gnome it hard locked before displaying the login screen.
For gnome, I booted to runlevel 3 (https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/01/how-to-boot-to-console-text-mode-in.html) then installed the headers, non-free drivers, and fixed modeset as usual
I was going to install Windows, just in case I need it, on the spare drive I have in my PC, but the Windows installer has decided that it doesn't have any drivers for the storage devices in the PC that it was installed upon until a month ago...
So I guess I'm raw-penguining it 😅
Don't get me wrong, I'm fully in favour of ebooks, but I'm finding the irony of Humble Bundle selling a collection of natural/disaster survival books, which comes with an implicit requirement of "Make sure you can charge your kindle/device" more amusing than I probably should
