@Gargron

Holla die Waldfee kostet der Film.

Wo lässt Du diesen denn entwickeln?

@Gargron die AE1 war/ist Legende. Verstehe bis heute nicht, warum ich ihr zugunstennder T90 untreu wurde

@Gargron: um die AE-1 Reihe fortzusetzen, hier eins von 1977:

I thought the bike looked good.

@Gargron

It does!

Reminds me of a photo I took of the bike of similar vintage that got me around the Irish village I was living in for several months. A kind of fond farewell and thanks for excellent companionship.

First scans of Silbersalz arrived. It's motion picture film (really, it's Kodak Vision3 in different packaging) developed in ECN-2. It is impressive how fine the grain is. But their lab processing time is much slower than I expected.

@Gargron Ooo…your photo has a buttery quality to it. Scrumptious!

@Gargron I've been scanning old family pictures and this has very strong 'family trip in 1974' energy. 💖

We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

@Gargron
"Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated."

What exactly is such a profile? One whose every single post is an AI image without any comments? Or pretty much any account that specializes on #AIart, and to what degree of AI usage?

Ben Brockert

@Gargron How are users of the server supposed to know about rules updates?

Eugen Rochko

We've rolled out a new feature on mastodon.social. You now have access to notification settings and can decide who you want to get notifications from. Everyone else will be put into notification requests you can peruse separately. There's a fresh coat of paint as well!

Deadly Headshot

@Gargron
The first bit sounds good, the second (the UI change) sounds ominous. I'll reserve judgement until I get to a PC though...

@Gargron

Being able to mute or filter posts that exceed 500 characters would be great.

Search is not good because it returns too many dissertations.

Today it’s been one year since we got married! I’m a very lucky guy 🙂

Mastodonのぬいぐるみを準備しています! 彼はやわらかくてふわふわとした友だちです。高さ35cmで丸っこくて抱き心地抜群!

できるだけ多くの人に楽しんでもらえるようにお求めやすい価格にしたいと考えています。

@Gargron I asked my Japanese girlfriend what she thought about the stuffed toy: "It would not sell. It is not cute enough, and it is way too big."

I also expected her to say it is way too big. Space is so scarce in Japan. It is mostly mountains.

yes your girlfriend is cute, but the Japanese are the world experts on making cute stuffed animals.

Is it mostly men on Mastodon in Japan?

I do want you to make money.

Eugen Rochko

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.

@Gargron congratulations 🥳 my safer place is here! Thank you 😊

Paula

@Gargron congratulations 🎈 (I think?). And thank you!

GertrudeZane

@Gargron Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!🎉🥳🥰 Thank you for all your dedication and hard work to create Mastodon!

Eugen Rochko

We created such an amazing toy. That photo alone doesn’t do it justice. I’m going to write about it on the blog soon. Just can’t wait to get it out to people. And I hope you’ll love him as much as we do.

@Gargron it's good to fall in love with someone you love

GMcGath

@Gargron Does it go zip when it moves and bop when it stops and whir when it stands still?

Aday

@Gargron will it be available in different sizes? 😃

Eugen Rochko

He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.

@Gargron I love it! But also it's a bit big for me personally. If it was more elePHPant sized (1/3 ish) I'd probably pay €25 +p&p as that's the typical going rate for one of those.

Pimpdaddysupreme

@Gargron any chance of producing these fist sized? Something maybe the size of a baseball or softball would be easier to hand out at conventions, ship, and sit on a desk or shelf.

Eugen Rochko

First attempt with two continuous tunsgten lights. I've used the second to accentuate the hair with a pink gel, but in hindsight, maybe should've used it for fill to reduce the contrast on the shadows.

@Gargron Well done! Correct exposure for a black cat is quite difficult too master.

@Gargron
Pink Gel? that explains why her hair looks so stiff.

Now: The Hirsch Effekt. In a bit: The band I’m here for, #Leprous.

@Gargron just checked them out on Spotify, some deadly riffs the concert must be a blast :)

@Gargron I hope to get a chance to see them live. They're awesome!

#Dune is well worth a trip to the cinema, I can say that much.

Eugen Rochko

I'm tired of hearing about AI, to be honest. I never cared for it. I don't respect people who use generative AI, and I despise companies that sell out people's data to train it. Yes, people will lose jobs to it, but the world will not be better for it. It's just that consequences are rarely immediately apparent in such complex systems.

@Gargron There can be good consequences also. Like people (and not only hollywood and friends) being able to create entertainment.

They maybe want to paint it in a bad color in part because of that.
