Tried out this new clean-room #rust slopfork of Adobe's Illustrator – VectorCraft. A quick speedrun making a simple logo. Extremely buggy, but impressive speed, UI, and feature-parity already adobe must be crapping themselves getartcraft.com/apps/vectorc...

i do like the new filename suggestion feature in #macOS 27, pasting some json into a blank file and it correctly suggests a pretty good filename, at least 'Nutrient Daily Percentages' is a lot better than 'Untitled 1' anyway

All ferries cancelled for the next three days lol. Enforced holiday continues to at least Sunday. Thing is, this *severe weather* doesn’t even seem that bad. Odysseus would have had a crack at getting home in it #marooned #alonnisos

read that claude can use blender now so I asked it to amend an old blender file of mine to "quadruple the number of 'emoji' models each using random accessories and materials. they should all fit in the camera view in the same ratio and then headlessly render it" and what do you know #b3d

a render of a bunch of 3d emojis I'd modelled
