Hiya! I'm katlyn, a weird and silly flopsy-eared fox :therian: on the internet. I enjoy almost anything relating to science and technology, but particularly have an interest in programming and retro technology. I also enjoy nature photography, and, when motivation allows, drawing and writing […]

Most of us here have decided that AI imagery and AI writing is bad, right? Why does AI code get a pass? It came out of the same machine, and we know that people's code was used to train that machine. Why are the same people who hate AI slop growing comfortable specifically with AI code?

You might think working a phone repair kiosk is a waste of my skills. Yeah nah.
Today, this kid came in with an iPhone that was more than cracked, it was banana-fied.
“What happened?” I asked, turning the wreckage over in my hands. I don’t think there was a single salvageable part. “And have […]

#BlindAltBot (@[email protected])
@[email protected] I am blind. Seeing people who think I'm not worth the effort fill my timeline with AltBot generated AI stuff that isn't even accurate in lots of cases. Human alt text is always better, because it doesn´t focus on ocular seeing. Seeing people think, and AltBot was designed around that notion, that blind people must compensate for missing "eye-seeing", but that's not the case. I am interested in the meaning of an image to you, its maker or publisher. Again, human alt text is better, also because it strengthens reciprocity between seeing and blind people. AltBot doesn't but it makes seeing people believe they have done their bit for accessibility. In actuality, the reverse is often true. !!!!!!!!!

#duckduckfedi there is a photo I am trying to find, of a fox looking at a sign as if it is reading it. The sign as has been edited to say "risk of therianizing energy," or something similar in meaning. I've done a fair bit of searching but can't seem to find it again, but I am pretty sure I […]
