Oh absolutely agree!! I would much rather try and fail than to touch anything even remotely AI. I'm trying to build skills, not atrophy them!

Bird @birdmanbirdplan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeah, I chewed and then was like 'hmm.. I don't think there's supposed to be anything sharp and hard in here'. Sure enough, big coil of metal

sad thing is I'm hungry and I still wanna eat it, but I'm scared I might miss more metal and it was pretty sharp

People get demoralized when transitioning when they discover that beyond the initial identification of "the problem," transitioning itself will not make you happy. What it provides is the POSSIBILITY for happiness by allowing you to more easily participate in romance, community and self-improvement

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I didn't finish the full follow up comic, but at least have the page that shows what the girls surprised Olly with! HBD Olly!! #wha #witchhatatelier

Qifrey, Coco, Richeh, Tetia, and Agott all hold various dishes in the kitchen, presenting them to a shocked looking Olly. Among them is Agott holding the turnipup cups Olly made for her before and Qifrey holding a cheesecake.

It just kinda hurts my eyes. Like each piece is fine individually, but together it's just so visually cluttered

Bird @birdmanbirdplan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

If it's accessible to you, public libraries usually have the series available for free! I know manga can get pricey quick! And I'm really excited for y'all to see s2 when it comes out! Pretty big tone shift there, imo, in a good way. They introduce a lot more characters, too!

Bird @birdmanbirdplan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

It starts out pretty mild in that it seems sort of childlike, but picks up quickly and tackles a lot of issues about society, disability, accessibility, and class! Dunno if you've already looked into it, but def worth a read!

Always here to recommend Witch Hat Atelier!!! The author is an incredibly cool person and the series is handled with such love and care!!!

oh noooo I'm feeling incredibly skeptical of this remake. Maybe I'm too nostalgia brained? But oof, everything feels like too overloaded with detail to the point of visual clutter. It may just not be for me

I feel the glasses one too, though my partner even more so, haha! They said the same thing after I showed them the draft for this. And I'm glad you like the expressions!!
