~discourse~ and elitism 

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social YES. YES ALL OF THIS. YES. the amount of rectocranial inversion going on there makes me want to flop all over a damn fainting couch.

along with a healthy side order of "well if you're so damn smart, go ahead and set up your own damn instance and make people pass an IQ test to join! that sounds *great* to me! let me know when it's up and running so I can BLOCK IT."

very mild self-inflicted accidental injury 

I keep thinking of my claws as fragile and blunt, but while taking out the trash I scratched myself on the arm enough to draw blood. it *stings* now--but at the same time, YAY I HAVE DANGEROUS CLAWS *prance* *preen*

the few basic homechores are done, and now it's time to gird m'damn loins and head into the (looks over shoulder, out window) increasingly damp great outdoors to Procure Goods (but not Services, I'm ok on that front for now) via Commercial Exchanges. wheee

@forestservice yay volunteering! :D Himalayan blackberries are THE WORST. kudzu of the north, swear to carp.

There was an otter in the river at the doggy park today! :O It was disturbed by a labrador that was playing in the water so it was swimming around hissing at the lab XD

money talk 

@thephooka wow, yeah, that's... some garbage going on, right there. :| blargh.

@Lobst @literorrery aw, but okay--I will keep checking for future iterations. :D

@noelle I'm on Verizon and my internets have been generally slower and chunkier than expected today. it may be a regional thing, or Something Else, or ???

a *classic: "New paint colors invented by neural network" aiweirdness.com/post/160776374 (my face hurts from laughing oh god)

*yes 7 months ago is "classic" also shut up

Anyone want to watch a neural network fall flat on its face trying to make knitting patterns?

I just started a new project crowdsourcing knitting patterns. Once I have enough, I'll train a neural net and post the results to a Ravelry thread, asking for opinions on the neural net's progress.

When the master wielded the sword, it glowed green.
The student tried it; it shone red.
"It is to warn others."

Episode VIII tiny positive, tiny spoiler 

@Leucrotta ditto all that. I still prefer the crystal foxes by a long shot, and the giant racing horserabbits, but the Porgs weren't nearly as terrible as I'd feared.

I just spent 20 minutes "cleaning" my follow list of accounts that were either pointing to unavailable instances or haven't tooted anything since ages

There should be an app for that.

The old adage remains true. You don't really have backups until you tried to restore them and made sure they work.

Does anyone want to hear a neural network's attempt to imitate psalms, set to a 4-part harmony version of the Tetris theme and sung by a choir?
