@AlexKourvo To the original question, I don’t know if all men do it or not, but I certainly don’t 🙂 When I’m at home I generally wear a sarong and so don’t even have pockets. Plus, why bother with all that. But what I can tell you is that my house key (which is the only key I have) is in my “outside” pants pocket all the time because I don’t want to forget it when I go out 😛 Maybe that (or a similar reason) is why your Dad does it too?

@dipti My grandmother did it too 🙂 I always thought it was a power move because there were multiple families living in that house and nobody could take stuff out of the larder/pantry unless she opened it. But of course, each of those families had their own stores too … But she controlled the “big” store 😀

@BobStep Could be that it’s collecting/archiving your posts. I’ve heard of instances which have bots which follow you so that they can slurp up your timeline and archive it etc.

There was a brouhaha a while back about such an instance, and they had an account called “Everybody” which would follow you. I blocked that account. One of the few I’ve blocked on here …

#Tech #layoffs are not fun. If anyone is looking for a #job in tech, ProductHunt has listed a few openings at various companies.

Also Automattic is hiring as well.

Yes, I am still upset with various companies laying off tens of thousands of workers & then doing stock buybacks worth billions of dollars! 😡

Guten Morgen #mastodon

Am #TravelThursday (und irgendwie auch #ThrowbackThursday) gibt es ein Bild aus dem beschaulichen #Huelgoat in der #Bretagne.

#Huelgoat is a picturesque little town in #brittany which lies near an enchanted forest. It is truly magical 🧙‍♂️and a heaven for #mosstodon fans!

I have been doing art the last month. I just got lost in terms of what I did when and tracking all that, which I do more for me than anyone else to track progress and such. Hopefully, I'll get some kind of record together today or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm working on this for the hubs @f. At his request. I have not used animal fur brushes in Procreate before and I have almost zero experience in creating my own weird imaginary creatures, so this should be interesting. I do not promise good! LOL

There are several macOS #StableDiffusion GUIs (besides the web GUIs) out there:

1. Diffusion Bee: https://github.com/divamgupta/diffusionbee-stable-diffusion-ui — the grand-daddy of them all since it has been around since the early days.

2. Swift CoreML Diffusers: https://github.com/huggingface/swift-coreml-diffusers — the original CoreML GUI from HuggingFace which started out a new bunch of UIs.

3. MochiDiffusion: https://github.com/godly-devotion/MochiDiffusion — based on the codebase for #2 but now seems to be hard-forked.

4. Ink Bot: https://testflight.apple.com/join/40gExWSM — No website for the app, only the TestFlight page and some info on Mastodon.

I’ve tried all of the above and have even done my own fork of #2 and added my own features: https://github.com/FahimF/swift-coreml-diffusers/

But of the lot, I think I like Ink Bot the best … provided it had a few more features/tweaks. Unfortunately, since it’s closed source, I can’t modify the code to add the features I want 😛

So either I have to go back to my fork of the HuggingFace UI, or start with one of the other options and add the features I want. But I’m still working on my fork of Tusker (Fediverse client in case the sudden segue is confusing …) to add the features I want there … And I want the weekend for reading/writing.

What do do? I don’t know … The urge to code is hard 😜

And that's a wrap with 11 out of 76 new and updated papers on arXiv under the cs.CV category posted today.

See y'all tomorrow 🙂
