I feel this so much... they built a completely monotone grey square building on the opposite of my home and I really don't get why anyone would think it's nice to live there.

Another attempt at drawing my big plush lioness 🦁

Since she is the one spending the whole day in bed, it's basically hers now. I'm only allowed in after giving her lots of cuddles and pats.

Nothing suspicious about my badge or anything. Just a normal grown-up serval 😇

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Post from "The Rundown"

July 18 at 5:30 PM

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online.
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery.
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

Wanna find out if one of the rings fit over a snow leopard's snout?

This is the right way to stack the rings, trust me!

Finally seem to manage to draw on a regular basis 🥳
There is still so much I need to figure out and I have trouble finishing stuff, but I'm quite satisfied with the progress I'm currently making.

Anyway, here is a scribble of my plush lioness wearing proper tracking equipment 🛰️
