Be a hacker and a painter they said! Ha! So now I’m hacking and getting buried in canvases. Thinner and paint are far more ruinous than liquour and jazz.

And since this is academic art of course there will be nekkid people and depictions of non-consensual behaviour (mastercopy of ’Ajax and Cassandra’ by Solomon J. Solomon J. Solomon … sorry should not make fun of peoples names)

There’s even this weird dude peeking behind one of my bookshelfs (mastercopy of ’Nobleman with a hawk’ by Holbein)

I’m not kidding these are all over the place (no attribution, original the lot of them. Does not make them any smaller, the bastards)

Is there a name for a condition where several members of your household pick up oil painting and then your house starts to fill up with canvases? (Center mastercopy of ’Girl with a cat’ by Albert Edelfelt)

PT/DE 8k ton freighter SOLONG drove at full speed straight into the side of anchored US/DK 30k ton tanker STENA IMMACULATE three hours ago of the coast of England.

Solong had been on a straight course for 9h, holding 16 knots in fair weather.

Around the tanker were 8 other large vessels, anchored.

ChatGPT refuses to believe the ongoing shitshow in the USA, insists it's a joke or alt reality fiction. It even asks for further "news stories" and after being provided one dutifully provides analysis but keeps insisting it's all fiction.

I don't like doing this.. But because this important article is behind a paywall and I believe that it is essential reading..

The same sokol-gfx compute shader example running on Metal and WebGPU with the shader code cross-compiled from GLSL to MSL and WGSL via sokol-shdc :)

Feature-wise everything is in place now, remaining work: more validation layer checks, code cleanup, more samples and testing, testing, testing...

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Oh hello @mapbox.com , nice to see you too here 🙂👋!

In my country (fi) selling unpasteaurized milk in shops is illegal. I _feel_ drinking or even promoting a product with a higher infection risk would be strange and unusual.
