Reminds me of my cat β€”- upside down

What's up?

I am working on the next techno-mage issue, which will come out as a complete story sometime in April. I like to think this will result in a more enjoyable experience as opposed to rushing out parts and pages.

I am also continuously working on the comic series Creatures and my passion project Kitty Odysseus. Which you may or may not enjoy in the meanwhile.

They can be found, along with Japanese Jesus, on my (other) website or in lemmy's Funhole.

https://triapul.cz/creatures
https://triapul.cz/japanese_jesus
https://triapul.cz/kitty_odysseus
https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/funhole

I can't tell you what takes precedence, but it will all get made eventually.

If you enjoy what I make, or have some other use for it, please consider supporting my work financially.

Thank you!

Lol.

"This was a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach."
Who wants to bet it was actually an AI error that caused this?

Trans Day of Leave Us The Fuck Alone, You Obsessed Weirdos.
yes, I'm trans, I exist, and most importantly I aspire for that to be the most boring factoid about myself

what if I *don't* want to be visible?

what if I just want to exist and make cool shit?

I've always had mixed feelings about Trans Day of Visibility. People are more aware of trans people than ever and that's why we have such a target on our backs right now. There's a big part of me that wishes we where less visible.

At the same time though, increased visibility and awareness of trans people is what prompted me to confront my own relationship with my gender back around this time in 2016.

We're in a tumultuous state for trans acceptance right now, I just hope some day in the not too distant future we come out the other side and are in a world where it's easier to be trans.

Ageless Linux is one of the sharpest responses I've seen to OS level age verification.

It takes Debian, flips the script, and makes a blunt point: if lawmakers force operating systems to hand age signals to apps, the burden will not land evenly. Apple and Google can absorb it. Smaller Linux projects, indie developers, and open source communities get crushed by compliance.

That is not child safety. That is infrastructure creep.

Do laws like this protect children, or normalise surveillance by default?
