The deliberate conscious effort that we humans require to do anything, like make art or write an academic paper, has been belittled and glossed over.

Instead results are glamorously prized as the product of success, and the amount of effort that it took to get there is hidden away in shame.

AI is the obscene extreme to that mentality: not more thinking, effort, work, anything— get the result now. While it was that exact effort that made us human in the first place.

We only have sticker sheets left. Get them while they're hot, they're also €1 cheaper than on the website only €4 each.

@Gargron They're heavy!! 😭 Take them to share with your friends, or acquaintances.

@Gargron It's my birthday!! 🥳

We're at the #FOSDEM stand, building F. Come and get some stickers, maybe buy some pins.

#FOSDEM26

This year I'll be at #FOSDEM26 too. I'll be at the #Mastodon stand selling you pins and stickers. Please drop by, say hi, and buy our stuff, I don't want to have to carry it back.

And remember to live, laugh, and federate.

@Gargron Where are the lyrics?

@Gargron Yes, they saved my bacon.

@Gargron Yes, but at what cost?

What it's like to live with me, @Gargron gets pranked on the daily.

More updates on Jiji's urchin lifestyle. He is a thief, stealing items from my desk, Lego pieces from our builds, and Warhammer figurines while we build them. He's a beautiful majestic menace and we're impotent in stopping his reign of terror.

@Gargron @lety Diana & Rihanna, Princess and Queen.

@Gargron @lety Dylan and Ryan.

@lety I was going to suggest calling them Danish (pastry) and (cinnamon) Roll to match the DR from The sign.

People who get their periods around Christmas become the Krampus.

All cats are baby.

@Gargron What a coincidence! So do I.

@Gargron That pumpkin looks ready for some Activity Pumping.

@Gargron My beautiful chirpy son.

Wanted to make some new labels for our tea caddies and I'm pretty happy with the results. Even though our cat Jiji tried to sabotage me with his cuteness. First time I see a cat try to unscrew a lightbulb. I'm posting the scan of it if anyone wants to use them for their teas.
