13 goddess figurines found in Balzi Rossi caves near Grimaldi di Ventimiglia, Italy. Made of steatite between 24,000-19,000 years ago and measuring from 2.4cm to 7.5cm in height, they stem from the widespread Gravettian culture.

Between 1883-1895, figurines were discovered by the antique dealer Louis Alexandre Jullien at the cave complex Balzi Rossi ("red cliffs") at the Ligurian coast. Eight of these sculptures are housed in museum Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris, France.

i don't serve anyone here. i don't operate a business. adding alt text is working for free so i don't add alt text. i'm here for my personal entertainment - if it makes someone else happy or someone deems my posts interesting that's great.

people who use AI to generate image descriptions try to cater to the "ALT TEXT OR DISABLED HATER" crowd. that using AI for this is wrong as well again proves that it's a losing game to play. it will never be enough.

No, a restaurant is a private establishment. In a free country they would be able to refuse the unvaccinated, or blacks, or gays, or democrats, or ANYONE they want. If their choice of who to refuse bothers you, you should be able to choose not to go there, that is freedom.

Facial expressions will land you in jail for 28 months.
This is insanity.

@tyil i just read chatgpt as "AI" because most people use it that way. self hosted AI would be fine for this. probably even wouldn't require very much power. @pencilears

@PurpCat Record for my desktop is past 800, but this is the first time in a long time that it was a software problem. I don't even remember the last time it was: it was all either power interruption or hardware failure.

I very nearly preserved uptime across a move to a different apartment by keeping the thing attached to the UPS and pushing the desk (which had wheels) to the new apartment. The wheels fell off when we got to the driveway of the new place, and there was no way to get it all the way to the front door as it was. If I hadn't insisted on playing music videos the entire way, the battery would have lasted longer, but if you're going to do some ridiculous shit like that, you have to add some showmanship.

@zleap @faab64 @palestine @israel we have that beaten into us in germany in compulsory school and yet our politicians talk mostly about right for self defense of israel aside from asking to be more careful while rubbelizing everything.

@DCR @meinemeinung das👌für white pride stehen soll als erfindung von 4chan und auch so adaptiert wurde ist allerdings humor nach meinem geschmack.

Außer natürlich, ich mach ein Seminar "Wie verzeihe ich mir selbst", und das mach ich bei dir, dann verzeihe ich mir bei dir. =)

Noch mal zum Mitdenken:

Niemand kann sich selbst entschuldigen.

Wir können um Entschuldigung BITTEN.

Das ist wie mit "Verzeihung".
Ich bitte um Verzeihung, und ich bitte um entschuldigung.

"Ich entschuldige mich bei dir" ist genauso sinnfrei wie "Ich verzeihe mir bei dir."

you are asking people to work for free and find it disrespectful if they dare use tools to make catering to your wishes less work for them.

@DCR @ElMapu sollte bei den meisten sachen gehen, ja. kann man ja testen obs kaputt geht :)

@iron_bug @icedquinn i'm increasingly disenchanted with many modern protocols, even if the projects are a good idea.

e.g. matrix has some nice parts and good ideas, but the protocol is in reality just a moderately good rest api.

XMPP works fine, but XEP hell killed it.

i think with many protocols there just are too many moving parts so you always end up with unintended side effects or things not working properly across implementations.

@icedquinn @gamer Yeah XML is better imo but it mostly lost outside enterprise.

@sun @icedquinn @gamer i really don't get the hate xml receives, it's good stuff. if someone holds it wrong it doesn't make it a bad tool. can't do nmap.org/book/output-formats-o with json.

@icedquinn ASN.1 is probably one of the more sane choices for encoding things, yeah. I do like the ascii line protocols though because they are rediciously easy to parse as well, even when they not follow a particular standard.

ember looks interesting!
