I'm opposed to gatekeeping, but Jesus Christ, sometimes I do miss the days when the Internet was just a bunch of nerds, and we mainly just called each other noobs based on which operating system, text editor etc... that people had chosen.

William de Worde from Discworld book The Truth by Terry Pratchett. Love this book and its characters!

Somewhat ironic that an anti-AI message is being conveyed using an image generated by AI.

Social etiquette thought of the day

While technically correct, it is probably inadvisable to arrange dinner plans using the term "mutual mastication"

I can confirm that Zack also has at least one member/vote in the "Grumpy, TikTokless, middle-aged male nerd" category (me).

I won't refuse nice things, but I'll be mightily suspicious at the universe's sudden strategy shift.

I've pre-ordered the Theif of Time graphic novel coming out next year, but I'll have to get that in the meantime. Thank you for the random post of enlightenment 😁

A psychiatrist, dealing with a man who fears he is being followed by a large and terrible monster, will endeavour to convince him that monsters don't exist. Granny Weatherwax would simply give him a chair to stand on and a very heavy stick.

How the f... have I missed this? I own pretty much everything else 😂

I've done it with C(++) and the Win32 API. I still prefer that over CSS 😅

I find that on Facebook, Bluesky and Twitter when I used to use it, it's safest to just not mention the s- word at all because they seem to go "HEY! He said the word! He must like the thing!"

Also, I don't think you're smirking in yours, but the only facial expressions that I can typically read reliably are those on cats.

Hmm, interesting. If concern overrides smirk, maybe the key is to precariously balance my phone on my flight game throttle to take every pic.

Woohoo, the distraction worked!

Cam @codelibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

I used a large blanket to distract from my face, and I think it's somehow impossible for me to have a photo taken where I don't look like I have at least a trace of a sarcastic smirk.

The only problem with my current photo is that it's not clear whether I'm clothed or not... (I am)

Go ahead. Rub your face on a cardboard box, as a little treat.

The Hogfather is probably my favourite of the more recent screen adaptations, but I think I prefer the animated Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters more, despite them being shorter.

A pantheon of panthers, if you will.

As a value-added service for people who are kind enough to follow me, I decided to put together a comprehensive guide on how to use generative AI to create images:
