what operating system (or linux distro) do you use on a regular basis?

I've been noticing over the years people mentioning feeling like interactions on the internet aren't real... That their internet persona is an instragrammable cardboard cutout that is profoundly alienating.

And here I am pretending to be a dragon on the internet and feeling the least alienated and most authentic I've ever felt because I am not having to pretend to be anyone or anything I don't want to be.

Look, you know that polished version of yourself you present online is bullshit. Everyone knows it is bullshit. You know everyone knows that it is bullshit...

So why bother with plausibility? Go wild! Have fun! Be a dragon! Be an eldritch horror with a form that cannot be comprehended by human minds. Whatever takes your fancy. Because what you're doing right now is just making you sad.

The last commission from December that I spontaneously decided to take towards the end of the month: a bird person, being dramatic!

I made a few versions of this picture, mostly because I wasn't sure about the background colours. also a corrupted version!

This is fine...
"We observed that participants who had access to the AI assistant were more likely to introduce security vulnerabilities for the majority of programming tasks, yet were also more likely to rate their insecure answers as secure compared to those in our control group."

Paper: "Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants?"

Felt like drawing Xenia the Linux Fox. Oh, and poking a little fun at Linux.

"Hey Rith, what's your job in the Korpsverse?"

Sorcerous procurement. Sometimes stuff for Korps missions, but usually very specifically designed magical TF triggers for agent downtime. Temporary ones.

I have a contract expert on staff for people who want permanent ones.

"What about Mel?"

🟪Freelance demolitions. Very freelance.

That’s why I don’t believe that AI will save anyone any labor. It may very well make you more productive, but you will see zero benefit from that. All that additional productivity and output will be strip mined away

And since AI will make it possible for any person to do any job, it will make you perfectly replaceable

There is no such thing as a labor saving device, because capitalism devours efficiency

vibrancy and contrast need boosting to try and match colours, and some of the thinner text needs to be thicker but holy shit! #eink

My first piece of 2024, Year of the Wood Dragon!

Let's start with the racist origins of BMI, and the lies it enables. BMI was devised by a racist non-doctor named Jaques Quetelet. He was trying to find the ideal man proportions to "study criminality." It was basically phrenology for the rest of the body. 🤡

He came up with his ideal European proportions.

This was during the golden age of "race science," when otherwise intelligent European people wasted lots of time trying to use math and science to justify their unjustifiable evil.
