Nightshade is an ML-poisoning algorithm that causes models trained with treated images to malfunction. Use in conjunction with Glaze to protect your work and give a big "fuck you" to the capitalists stealing your shit for their own profit.
The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.
My version of the character Ada from "Ada & Zangemann", a Creative Commons license (BY-SA) book for children and a funny story about Free/Libre and Open-Source. It's written by Matthias Kirschner and illustrated by Sandra Brandstätter. It is great to see new characters in the Free Culture, especially because Ada is so cool. 💜

It's my Birthday today 🎈
As a tradition I may request for sharing my work.
Thank you to everyone who supported me so far.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future. You can find more in my Bio.
🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.
I don't have a job for the first time in my life and have to ask for help. Each boosting means a lot to me and I hope it will help to find a few persons interested in buying my photographic prints.
Thank you so much for your help!
My son liked to post his pixelart on Pixel Studio's Pixel Network and apparently the dev just secretly changed the terms and conditions so that you give up copyright claims on the art you publish, so it can become part of a training dataset for a new AI pixel-art generation app. They also started allowing AI art to be posted.
My son is so demotivated by this.
That's how you kill creativity. And I really hope your business too.
The next time you see a writer, an artist or another creative person promoting their work in the Fediverse ... and you are annoyed by this, please take a look at the quote by Durgadas Allon Duriel.
And this is also a friendly reminder that artists and small businesses are not huge corporations or companies with a lot of money. These people have to pay their bills etc. like everyone else. So they have to talk about their works and products.
