Also, in case anyone's wondering how to do this in Krita:
- Image > Convert image color space, select "CMYK"
- Image > Separate image
- Group all the split layers, and then move some of them a little bit to make the cool offset printing effect
- Add a filter layer to the group, select "halftone" (under "artistic"), set mode to "independent channels", and then proceed to fuss with the options for like an hour

I got into a super deep rabbit hole on halftone printing techniques and tried it out with this image, and I think it looks COOL AS HELL

I was having some fun doodling and I liked this lil' deer lady enough to give her some color :>
Kiki the Cyber Squirrel is a much cuter image editor mascot than Wilber. Kiki also has more fan art, which says even more about Krita, the image editor Kiki represents.
@mavica_again Nope, not even when better designed, more ethical, and more free painting and image editors exist in the same software ecosystem. :V

New on Ramen Science!
I travel back in time both with my lunch and with my blog's web design.

@earthshine Their dogs ate their homework, and we're collectively gullible enough to believe them.
@Chip_Unicorn For future cleaning that makes removing keycaps unnecessary, and if the keyboard has the right kind of switches on it, consider installing a set of typewriter-style keycaps instead of the original. Their short sides make the base and switch area so easy to access with tweezers and canned air without disassembly.
@Chip_Unicorn Remove the keycaps, and you'll have enough access to hit all the places where gunk likes to gather with swabs, rags, and canned air. Use a cheap but specialized keycap puller tool to lift straight up on the cap.
If it has scissor or butterfly switches, like laptop/notebook keyboards, then removing the keycaps is a different, delicate, and likely breakage-prone procedure that may make cleaning it infeasible.

first, debian releases got named after toy story characters
now, there's a toy story character that debian can theoretically run on

@ellenor2000 @atax1a On its way to slop: AI code reviews at least.

Got out and did some more picking this morning and set out some more surplus for the passers-by. Found a very lovely note in the box later. Made my whole summer. There must be smoke in the air again, my eyes are all runny again.

@arstechnica It also turns ordinary webpages into nonsense for real people who need assistive tech like screen readers to access websites.
re: AI in the Linux Kernel & Linus Torvalds' complicity
@atax1a Of course it would be "how long since" instead.

Absolutely wild that Dr. Hart was saving lives as a trans man 100 years ago in #Idaho and was treated better than many trans people are in modern Idaho.
Kudos to whoever's putting these stickers up around Boise.
