Hoo boy, here goes my most magnum of opuses rn lol.
I never keep track of how much time i spend doing my works in general, but thanks to Krita i had finally known how much it took me to realize this big project (by viewing the info to my .kra doc):
10 hours and 7 minutes!
Due to the unholy amount of time took, this has also been quite a challenge to draw over a dozen of ocs (each belonging to diff. users online. If i were to give credit, it will go beyond the char. limit of this instance) all in one canvas.
While it all started as a request from my dear friend (huge respect to him, he's very patient and all), it challenged me to even get more at hand with mastering the masking layers and the Colorizer tool in general.
The whole project has been a whole singular process per each day (ex. a whole evening to sketch, another to inking, etc.), but nonetheless i had surprising effects such as not really feeling tired afterwards and breezing thru things while not feeling my eyes nor my right hand a wreck!
I really do not know what to put in conclusion here, except how everytime i use my laptop with LM for a very extended time period:
i feel my jaw dropping how once turned off it unheats quickly.
It barely becomes a burning meteor (not even) compared to when i ran win10 back then as the main OS.
Wow, MS quite trash tbh.

@loveisanalogue Probably should specify the amount of time it'll get better...
And this is what happens when you cut costs to get unqualified #moderators for substandard wages:

今天的 the Onion.
The Onion从2014年开始就给每次枪击新闻都用同样的这条标题:"No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens". 今天他们把过去几年的这些新闻都一起登出来了。

@calico 注意mass shooting只是指有多数伤亡的枪击案，不特指校园枪击案。
@chris @kev @mike https://searx.be and https://paulgo.io are run by regular contributors of SearXNG, are stable, and are unlikely to go away soon. (Btw, I run a public instance too at https://search.bus-hit.me)

However, while performing a security audit of the DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser, security researcher Zach Edwards discovered that while the browser blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running.
DuckDuckGo CEO and Founder Gabriel Weinberg confirmed that their browser intentionally allows Microsoft trackers third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement with Redmond.
@lucas @jerry "Google also makes most of their money via this same type of keyword-based advertising that doesn’t require any search-history tracking" kinda needs a "citation required" for me. But I see quite some ads for DDG (on Quora and on American TV apparently) so I do wonder how much they cost... Though, I use a selfhosted SearXNG instance anyway, so whatever they do, the impact to me is minimized.
@amelialovett Note that there are already two federated Discord alternatives: Matrix (https://matrix.org/, more mature & popular, I use) and Fosscord (https://fosscord.com/, more influence from Discord). Note that they use their own protocols (Matrix is its own protocol, and Fosscord aims to be Discord-compatible) and are not connected to ActivityPub.

There’s just something about getting dead tree spam mailed to my house about a privacy focused web browser that isn’t sitting well with me… 🤔
@jerry Where did they get the money to do this marketing? (Same question for DuckDuckGo: where did they get the money to buy ad spots?)
