The very notion of a "smart fridge" is fucking baffling. Big section keeps things cold. Smaller section keeps things VERY cold. That's been working just fine for a very long time without firmware updates and shit. But I guess that doesn't make inherited-wealth tech fetishists' line go uppies so

Here is all my rough draft progress on the first issue of Abomination Labs (from late July of last year to right now). I have 11 more to go before I start inking and coloring this first act. (script for each page in the alt+) #bugliiart #abominationlabs #webcomicwip #horroroc

The rent is going up 50 bucks where I'm staying starting at the end of the month, so any work I can get to help with monthly basic necessities would be heavily appreciated and paid back with whatever your funny little brain can imagine!

I'm looking for more commission work again. Probably not the best time since other people are hard on fun money right now, but I should really start trying to mend the massive dent in my emergency savings. ko-fi.com/bugliiart

Happy that @roninopf.bsky.social has joined the Pixel Pup team to provide some great tracks to listen to while you solve those nonograms. The music is still a WIP and this video is a mock up of real gameplay with still-in-progress music, but it gives an idea of where it's headed. So cool!

For today's @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies I decided to get architectural, so here's a VERY rough approximation of the #Chinese CCTV building in Beijing! The patterns are so wild, but much prettier on the original than in my attempt. Original in 128x128px, upscale in 512x512px.

Ah, die rationalste Wirtschaftsform
Zitatkachel von Jatin Malik: The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

I did not give myself enough time for this #Bomberman edition of #pixel_dailies. In hindsight, would have been more effective to just go half this size and stylize it a bit, or go twice as big and give him an interesting pose! Ah well, nobody operates at their full potential all the time!

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Aaaand another late entry to @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies for #Courtyard yesterday! Crude at best, especially the shading, but I still have a lot of experimenting to do before I figure out lots of this.
