While I’m in the middle of my tractor rebuild, I tracked down this original operator’s manual! July 7, 1947. That’s a few weeks before my mom was born.

3 media files

The cover of a small red paper back manual, titled “OPERATOR'S MANUAL. 1948 FORD TRACTOR MODEL 8N” published by Ford Motor Company, July 7, 1947

An example two page spread, the start of the chapter “Description and Specifications”, with a nice shaded illustration of the tractor

Another two page spread, the start of the chapter “Controls and Operations”, with illustrations of the basic controls.

Ein Comic in einem einzigen Bild vor schwarzem Hintergrund, in dem eine Strichfigur im Bett mit ihrem Gehirn spricht. Unten in der Mitte liegt eine Strichfigur in einem Bett unter einer hellblauen Decke. Sie schaut müde und genervt auf und bittet: „Hey Hirn, würdest du bitte mal abschalten? Ich muss schlafen.“ Rechts daneben steht ein kleines, rosafarbenes Gehirn mit Gesicht, Armen und Beinen auf der Bettdecke. Es blickt die Figur an und antwortet völlig unbeeindruckt: „Vorher müssen wir noch vier Stunden lang darüber nachdenken, wie du dein Leben ruiniert hast.“

My discord has an emoji named "tech debt" - which is just the angzarr, ⍼, the symbol famous for having no known use or agreed-upon meaning but somehow appearing in unicode and now it's just a part of unicode forever.

With so many enormous tech debt bills coming due recently, perhaps you, too, would like to take a moment to appreciate the tasteful angles of the angzarr.

He traducido el artículo de Esther Weidauer (@aesthr) sobre la IA generativa.

No dudéis en avisarme si hay erratas, lo he hecho un poco del tirón.

Por qué resisto ante la «IA» generativa

Este artículo es una traducción al castellano desde el inglés. El original, Why I Resist Generative “AI”, es de Esther Weidauer. Os lo traigo porque es una versión mejor escrita y más completa de uno que tenía yo en borrador desde hace un año y que no me animaba a terminar de escribir, y me servirá de referencia para centrar la conversación. No oculto cuánto desprecio el actual hype que rodea a la «IA»

We didn’t plan it for this day, Friday the 13th… but… we are saying goodbye to our little void this morning. She’s 18. She still has things to say, as she has every day we’ve known her. But it has been harder these last few weeks and months and it is time that she rests. ❤️ ❤️ 🌈 🐈‍⬛

We’ll miss you Whiskers.

Last and first pictures of her. We got her in April 2010 because our daughter picked her up when we were looking for cats at the SPCA… manhandling her mercilessly… and she just purred. Constantly and loudly.

I believe she was born May 2008, so 18.5yrs!

How to draw Illuminated Letters

This digital booklet will walk you through how to create illuminated letters, from the very basics through to more detailed examples. The five pages will look at 11 different styles of illuminated letter, starting simple and getting a bit more complicated going through, but every style can be done to your own ability, as simple or as detailed as you like. There are lots of examples of finished letters too.

How to Draw Celtic Knots

This digital printable booklet will talk you through how to draw beautiful Celtic knots, from the very basics through to more detailed finishing flourishes. No drawing experience necessary - worksheets are included to get you practicing, as well as re-usable template sheets that you can print out over and over to work with. You can either print the pages and draw onto them by hand, or you can work digitally e.g. on an iPad with an Apple Pencil, or in something like Krita with a drawing tablet and pen (or with the mouse if you're feeling brave!). Examples are provided throughout, with illustrations to both trace and copy, and template sheets for you to work on for drawing your original designs. As well as developing a creative skill, drawing Celtic knots provides a relaxing (and somewhat addictive!) experience as you figure out different knot patterns and shapes. This pack has ten pages; there are two pages of printable templates, two printable grid pages (one a large grid and one a smaller grid), and six tutorial pages to follow. They are sized to A4.

No drawing experience necessary - worksheets are included to get you practicing, as well as re-usable template sheets that you can print out over and over to work with. You can either print the pages and draw onto them by hand, or you can work digitally e.g. on an iPad with an Apple Pencil, or in something like Krita with a drawing tablet and pen (or with the mouse if you're feeling brave!). The booklet covers everything from talking about different pens and papers, hints and tricks to use when drawing, through to constructing simple repeating shapes up to more complicated circular patterns. Examples are provided throughout, with illustrations to both trace and copy, and template sheets for you to work on for drawing your original designs. As well as developing a creative skill, working on the tutorials in this booklet provides a relaxing experience as you focus on repetitive shape drawing. Working through one of the worksheets will take 20 - 30 minutes, so it's a great opportunity to take a breather and work on something creative. ( I've also published a pattern references booklet as a companion to this. It has hundreds of pattern variations, and pages of empty templates to draw on. It's the perfect companion to this workbook, and you can find it here > https://ko-fi.com/s/67ed5c4596 :) )

You know what’s actually productive for us #Linux people to do? Show sympathy for the people affected by the #Microsoft outage, not smugly make fun of them. This is what normals hate about Linux people and they’re correct.

accessibility features often help way more folk than you think they do. for example, putting alt text on your topical, pop-culture-related memes helps people who are old to accomplish the task of knowing what the fuck that thing even is that you are talking about
