Just got off the phone with my GP, he suggested that I self refer to the local GIC as it'll be quicker than waiting 2 weeks for us to meet again for an appointment to go through pretty much the same form, lol.
Gonna do that when I get home tonight! 💜🏳️⚧️
Long time coming but ahhhhh finally!!!
Those of you who knew me in the early 2000s, and knew I was trans back then (there are a couple of you), you were right. 💜💜
I'm so very happy to have this! I've wanted to have a Renamon fursuit for two decades, and though this is just a head it's a start down that path! 💛💜💛💜
Heya, I am streaming once in a while, and today on the menu is Hades 2!

Krita 6 (and 5.3) released! Two top-tier #art #apps for the price of one!
Look forward to Wayland color management (for Krita 6); an overhauled text tool with direct on-canvas editing, wrapped text and text-on-path capacity; a new #comic panel assistant; and so much more 🖌️.

My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for.
LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem.
In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier.
But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output.
If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.
Mel swept their chain across the floor, wrapping the end around a guard's leg and yanking it out from under him, pouncing on his prone body and snarling.
"Stay down, if you know what's good for you."
The guard nodded fervently as Mel rolled off, shouting "Lovely, did you get in the vault?"
Epoxy shook her head while sticking a particularly grumpy-looking cop to the wall by the vault.
"They upgraded the door, the auto-tumblers don't work any more. Care to trade places, my glob of joy? I'll take care of the rest there while you get this door open."
Mel grinned. "My turrrrrn!"
Giving Epoxy a quick kiss on the mask as they passed each other, Mel strode up to the door and spread their fingers across it. They pushed their power into the mechanism, feeling out the layout by the reverberations.
"There!"
Applying a little focus, they disintegrated the lock's core. The vault opened, smoke billowing from the blown-out mechanism, setting off the sprinklers.
Damp-furred, Mel called out, "Done!"
Epoxy smiled at a glued-down cop, flicking the tip of his nose. "Beautiful. Grab th-"
The doors slammed open, and both turned to see a cape standing proud.
"Stop, villains!" he bellowed. "You face Paragon, defender of justice!"
Mel looked into Epoxy's eyes, seeing her girlfriend's smile under her dripping mask.
"Shall we dance?"
"Oh blaster, I thought you'd never ask. It's not a date night without a tango!"
As one, they leapt into battle.
A synth me design I worked on recently! I talk about this in a lot more detail over on my site here: https://darkoverord.info/2025/02/16/synth-darkoverord-simon-both-me/

Normally I prefer to leave that in the description but also I can't embed pics in the middle of them in most places :V
