Mine Entrance -
I eventually reached what seemed to be the "end", or perhaps the "beginning" of the tunnels and the mine. A platform on a winch and rope hung halfway up the shaft, above yet more rickety platforms and shacks.

The bottom of a mine shaft.  Light streams down from above onto the wooden platforms and shacks that have been built over the water that has collected at the bottom of the hole.Wide shot, interior, day -

Next up, fan art of Corvo Attano from Dishonored. I'm a huge fan of the whole series, and I love fabric and metal textures!

Black and white image of the lead character from the Dishonored video game, arms crossed, one hand holding a sword, the other in a fist with a glowing Outsider's mark.

@helenmclaughlinart sometimes yelling into the void can be helpful. Well done for bopping those brain goblins!

In response to customer confusion over the multitude of Copilot-branded products and features, on Wednesday Microsoft announced Copilot Copilot.

This new AI companion will help knowledge workers and consumers navigate the hundreds of other Copilots released by Microsoft. Copilot Copilot can draft prompts to other Copilots and summarize other Copilots' output.

In a disclaimer, Microsoft cautions users that Copilot Copilot may occasionally hallucinate other Copilots.

Copilot Copilot replaces the existing Copilot for Copilot product, but is not to be confused with Copilot for Copilot 365, which will still be offered to enterprise customers who are also, themselves, Copilots.

Capitalism didn't give us the internet.

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

Ever needed a graceful way to say "no"?

This tiny API returns random, generic, creative, and sometimes hilarious rejection reasons perfectly suited for any scenario: personal, professional, student life, dev life, or just because.

Built for humans, excuses, and humor.

ONOS - NOT THE NIPS. My Stripe is being closed down:

I have done an open post hopefully explaining in non-angry-rambly fashion what's happened and what the plan is:

Today's Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday, so let's celebrate his memory by talking about his characters. Who's your favorite and why?
Mine is Granny Weatherwax (especially in the story "The Sea and Little Fishes") but Death comes close second...

EDIT: Jenitales have now also been relisted on my main shop after it was clear it didn't matter if I had it there or not, I'm still a spooky Restricted lady.

So! If you'd like to buy Jenitales in the meantime, you can get the PDFs on my itchio!

Building a "EU OS", a Linux distribution for the public sector, is another example of a repeating pattern.

Everybody throughout Europe talks about digital sovereignty, that we need to become independent, that Free Software is a great way of getting there, and at the end (almost nothing) happens.

Instead of simply starting to use all the great stuff out there, we start to build stuff because we tell ourselves that x, y, z is missing.

Let's get finally started! We will be surprised what's already possible. Gaps that might come up can be closed on the go.

Great article about seven FOSS-based projects the EU should support now instead of getting distracted:
