Whenever I ponder the advancements of my field I get thoroughly dejected. Take the latest "great innovations":
- **Targeted ads** ended privacy in a way that makes Gestapo look like silly children
- **Crypto** gave rise to the scourge of ransomware
- **"Self-driving" cars** destroying our hopes for good public transportation
- **AI** turning the semantic web into a web of lies

If you're not an anarchist/communist by now, you're not really paying attention.

Spent a much needed long weekend with @LightTheUnicorn and saw Rick Astley live and got to ride in Light's new Leaf. And even found time to go hang with my favourite fluffies at the Sheffield furmeet. And of course Hammy came along too!

Not only were #NHS staff treated as expendable during the #pandemic, now they're being left to deal with people's frustration at how the #NHS is failing them....

While attacks on #healthcare staff are unacceptable, equally NHS staff are being used as a human shield while the #Tories seek to reduce public health care to a safety net, to expand the market for paid for care.

Don't be fooled people are being gaslighted & manipulated into helping the Tories wrecking!

I am here to spread 🔥 in KDE Valley.

I used the Bristles-2 Flat Rough brush from Krita.

Another piece of art done and I'm fairly certain the one that'll cement Sirah's design for good

ZeFie is a little digital familiar, something like a summon created mixing magic and technology (if I understood that correctly).

A very fun character to work with, I like that she's small and also something between a rabbit and an otter hehe.
I added some light sparkles over her fur, so she looks a little more digital :blobfoxhappy:​

Can we appreciate for a minute that at some point great people came together and created top tier free software that in the past would cost you thousands of dollars?

One of my absolute favourite deep sky objects: Messier 81 & 82

Messier 82 and 82 a dynamic pair of galaxies in the constellation Ursa Major. Gravitationally bound to one another, they dance amidst gaseous filaments of neutral hydrogen stripped from each other from past close encounters.

Messier 81, also known as Bode’s Galaxy, is a bright spiral galaxy proudly twirling its arms around its pale amber nucleus. It’s the largest in its group.

Messier 82, the smaller of the pair, has absorbed so much interstellar gas that it’s led to a profusion of star-forming activity within its galactic nucleus. This activity has given rise to a strong galactic wind that spews knotty filaments of neutral hydrogen and nitrogen from its centre, partially obscuring the brilliance of its nucleus. Its distorted shape is a direct result of a close encounter with its partner Messier 81.

I would be remiss not to mention that there’s a third member of this galactic dance: the small elliptical galaxy NGC 3077. Nothing more than a faint smudge a bit above M81, NGC 3077 is just as connected by those fine gaseous filaments and the allure of each other’s gravity.

The Messier 81 group is among the brightest galactic groups in the night sky and are a favourite among amateur astronomers. If you’re ever in the northern hemisphere and have a friend with a good-sized telescope, peering through the eyepiece at this duo is a sight to behold. It’s a favourite of mine whenever I bring out my telescope on a dark winter night.
