  • If English is not your mother tongue: it's a reference to a children's song whose first verse normally ends in "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" (spelled out).

    Please don't confuse aro and ace, kissing in public is more romantic than sexual.

  • The gap you leave should be speed-dependent and about 2 seconds to allow for reaction time. Yes, this caps the highway's capacity to 0.5 cars per second per lane but roads are inherently inefficient.

  • Our Ancestors were 4channer. We are cooked
  • 4chan is actually an exception. While > on each newline is a standard for quote blocks in ASCII (and adopted by Markdown), 4chan's "greentext" is rarely used to quote someone else. Ironic given that the frontend highlighting it is due to the quotation convention.

    Also, there are some inconsistencies in the implementation. For example, Reddit will turn

    > para1
    
    > para2
    

    into

    para1

    para2

    but Lemmy requires the blank lines to start with > too or the paragraphs go in separate quote blocks. Also, Lemmy requires a space after the > symbol while 4chan doesn't.

  • "AI" wars
  • The Thespian robot (and others) could mirror a human's movement 10 years ago. Even if Optimus is actually mechanical, the recent "interacting with a crowd" video makes it quite obvious there is no AI.

    Alter Nachricht aber passend. Alle Wege führen nach Rom, oder?

    Nun ernst: Genau wie „Hain“ ist tschechisches „háj“ ein poetisches Begriff für Gehölz. Warum wird aber ausschießlich in Harz die slawische Aussprache verwendet?

    John Oliver is being pedantic about Venn diagrams...

    Source (restricted to non-HBO-Max regions)

    Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

    For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set. A good example is xkcd 2962: !Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

    We might see Microsoft adding ads to BSOD

    Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

    The canvas can be explored (no longer edited) at canvas.fediverse.events.

    The picture comes from the official Canvas 2024 end post but scaled up 4x for comfortable viewing.

    Are we going to do something for this year's Canvas?

    There is a Fediverse-wide canvas event at canvas.fediverse.events (currently temporarily down with no ETA). Is the KDE community participating?

    !

    I redrew this Kiki icon as pixel art and I can, and probably will, place this image myself, as it's just 282 non-white pixels; I just want to know if anyone is going to draw the KDE logo, Konqi or other imagery so we can all be in one area.

    1:1 image that can be used as a template: !

    If you have any KDE art you'd like to add, including better versions of Kiki, feel free to post them! I can adjust the palette into this year's 34-color one or even redraw high-res images as pixel art for you.

    giant trans flag rule

    Edit: THANKS TO EVERYONE

    I thought that given the size of the trans community, perhaps the 100 px size would be just right for a nice 3:2 aspect ratio. Meanwhile, you madlads managed to span the entire width!

    ----

    Go help draw at canvas.fediverse.events!

    Edit: DESTROY THE DITHERING

    Yes, it's just me who did the dithering but it turns out dithered stripes grow slower because people are afraid of placing pixels that would disrupt the pattern. Just fill the checkered area fully and continue with random pixels.

    Edit: currently down :/
