Nascido no século passado, sou mais da turma que usa terminal que gerenciador de janelas (Born in the last century, I'm more of a terminal type than a window manager). Punk stricto sensu.

Hey #Uruguay folks! I have cousins outside of Montevideo who have a complex of mental health and physical issues, and who are in food insecurity, and who have struggled to access services there. We have been sending them money for years but it's beyond our means. They need a social worker, and have failed to find one through regular channels. Is there such a thing as a private social worker who we can hire to get them into the system?

Step 1. Steal content from everyone
Step 2. Train your shity AI based on stolen data
Step 3. Tell the world how you are revolutionizing everything
Step 4. Start selling stolen data as Gen AI with Ads
Step 5. Ultimately, you will be another ad company, but this time, you are stealing the work of journalists, book authors, artists, music, video, and small content creators to make money by claiming Gen AI-created content

New filter **Repair / Upscale [CNN2x]** in our G'MIC-Qt plug-in!
This one uses a small convolutional neural network (CNN) to double the image size, while trying to keep contours as sharp as possible. Another cool tool in the arsenal of G'MIC filters!

Finally finished implementing the classic 15 puzzle game but using the standard #OpenStreetMap tiles as the sliding pieces! 🗺️🧩

While there are many implementations of this game (some even let you upload your own image), as far as I know, not one directly uses OSM slippy map tiles for the pieces. I figured this would be a nifty side coding project and it was fun to do! 💪

Currently you can play any of 20 map locations. Enjoy! 🎉

Hard to disagree with this action. The Brazilian authorities are not making unreasonable requests, but because they’d negatively affect the Brazilian far right, Musk refuses to allow the company to take them.

This isn’t about free speech; it’s about sovereignty.
