This particular #StableDiffusion prompt based on Terry Pratchett novel titles was in the works for a few days — I just wasn't sure about the results since most of them were fairly similar ...

The prompt? "Wintersmith"

Predictably, most of the results were people in winter-wear. I just didn't like the monotony and hence the inclusion of the fox from what looks like the cover of a box of pencils 😛

At this point, “The Last of Us” is the TV show I anticipate the most. Maybe that’s not saying much, but still … 😛

Without spoiling anything, I love how they’ve portrayed zombies and want to learn more about the world with each episode.

We are huge fans of Naughty Dog games given that we played through all of the “Uncharted” games and “The Lost Legacy” too as fast as we could … and loved the story of “Uncharted 4” to bits.

But I didn’t know if we’d like “The Last of Us” since we kind of shy away from killing games and based on the premise, that’s what it sounded like … Now, after starting the TV show, I’m wondering if we should go back and play the game too … Also, there’s apparently a remake and so maybe it really is time to try it?

And that’s a wrap on the start of a new week of paper reading after moving to a new server 🙂

I posted 8 papers out of a total of 51 new and updated papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today.

I must say that the ability to post more than 500 characters on the new server is a huge help since now I don’t have to spend a lot of time cutting down my summary to fit within 500 characters 😛

Since switching over to the Fedi-side, I have looked at a lot of Mastodon/Fediverse clients …

Outside of the ones I’ve just looked at or used just for a little while, there are a few that I’ve dallied with quite extensively.

First, there’s the Mastonaut fork that I’ve been working on — written in #Swift for #macOS only:
https://github.com/FahimF/Mastonaut

Then, there’s the private fork of IcueCubesApp that I was working on because that app does not work with Akkoma at the moment — this one was #Swift and #SwiftUI but worked on both #iOS and #macOS:
https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp

Then there was the pure #JavaScript one I started from scratch because I wanted something which would work on any platform.

I stopped working on the JavaScript client because I wanted something that worked now and was too impatient to get my own client working 😛

The IceCubes clone had too many #SwiftUI issues for my taste and so I went back to Mastonaut for the time being. Trouble is, my wife uses iOS for most of her Fediverse traversal and so that leaves her out of things …

I was hoping to get Mastonaut working to my taste so that I have something I can use now and then go back to the JavaScript client so that I have an option which works anywhere. And I thought I was on my way there …

But today I discover that Mastonaut will not reblog when connected to Akkoma. And based on the bug report below, it looks as if this is an Akkoma/Pleroma issue since the error I get is the exact same one:
https://github.com/TwidereProject/Twidere-Android/issues/1460

I’d really like to have one client which works on every platform, has all the features that make life easy for me, and works with all the different Fediverse servers. Is that too much to ask for? 😛

It's #Sunday and I can't hear a thing so it must be #SilentSunday

I'm sneaking this in for #StandingStoneSunday just because I like it.

I always think of cairns and Trig Points as some sort of #StoneCircle where you have to go out and join the dots.

Looking to connect socially and professionally with women and nonbinary folks in iOS! Especially if you’re brown, queer, genderqueer, or otherwise marginalized.

Please boost for reach 💜

Gather ‘round and let me tell you the story of how the world moved on, and the birth of the sixth sun.
