Cette semaine, le dessinateur Thibaut Soulcié est en congé. Mais il a livré à « Mediapart » une planche de saison et de circonstance…

@ColinTheMathmo oh not to worry, it's set to record. Which means I can watch it back and fast forward through the VTs, just no voting (I doubt I'll get back home and through them before voting closes).
Miraculously Bath won!
@fak BTW ... fab outfit. Loved it (from what I could see).
at least a 3-pixel border or go home
@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone what do you think his cum tastes like? i cant imagine that it tastes very good considering his diet of blood.
@puppygirlhornypost2 @yassie_j gives a whole new meaning to a bloody mary
Achievement unlocked: first merge request for @gnome!
An extremely minor change, but I'm hoping that many small changes will eventually have a measurable impact on donations to the Gnome Foundation.
@killyourfm @gnome it is really nice to see more folks taking note of these "minor" things
one thing that still bugs me to this day is the wording chosen all around the system when it comes to donations, with this issue being one I'm VERY interested in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/work_items/3815
"I always just ask the monster"
@susankayequinn Google tells me this is the original (the irony is not lost on me): https://bsky.app/profile/joles.bsky.social/post/3logjuqggkk2q
It's a Get Ready With Me (GRWM) video where influencers show their viewers what their hair and makeup process looks like except it's just me sloppily applying mascara and then removing 99% of it with a Q-tip.
Plz like and subscribe!
"One Bad Apple" by The Osmonds, and the kid singing on it sounds like Michael Jackson during the Jackson 5 era. Wonder who that is. 🤔
@aparrish valid, but to me there's an opportunity to be had, in a way, since this also means that anyone can poison the models. The poison power of one person is diluted of course, but come up with specific-enough word combinations and there's a decent chance you'll be able to key them up later from a model, I think.
If "everyone develop your own weird works of writing and make up fake facts to put on a fake facts page" became the norm, I think it would be cool (as long as the fake facts are clearly labeled as such where linked to, abusing the fact that scrapers won't carry content across links).
I'm also hoping that the 2027 crash (which I can't manifest hard enough) will dramatically change the equations though.
@tiotasram @aparrish poisoning is a valid strategy but I find it too unreliable. LLMs already spout obviously incorrect info all the time and people use it anyway
PieBB - A PhpBB inspired frontend for piefed
cross-posted from: https://retrofed.com/c/meta@retrofed.com/p/2373766/retrofed-forum-powered-by-piebb
Hi,
After getting forum.retrolemmy.com running with lemmyBB, I wondered if Retrofed could get something similar. Instead of getting lemmyBB (an ancient software for lemmy) to work through a proxy, we created a new frontend made natively for PieFed: PieBB. PieBB is more feature complete than lemmyBB and lighter on the server.
Note: This project was created with the help of an LLM.
It’s live at forum.retrofed.com, and makes PieFed look and work like an old phpBB2 forum. You log in with your normal Retrofed account. Posting, voting, polls, PMs, notifications and moderation all work, and you can even import (some) old phpBB2 themes.
If you notice any bugs, you can message me, or reply here.
If you want to use it yourself, it’s at Github. Tested on PieFed 1.8.x.
Known limitations:

Some notes on WRITING:
> Writer’s block […] usually comes from the perhaps wrongheaded notion that when I sit down to write that I just sit and it pours out. But even if it looks like that, that has no basis in reality: do not imagine if it looks easy and quick, that the process was easy or quick.
> Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that “because things look a certain way, that therefore they are a certain way.” [What seems] like “she just picked up the keyboard and wrote six paragraphs” has been preceded by weeks [...] of thinking about, and especially reading about, this issue.
Record-breaking retraction: scholarly publisher pulls 1,400 conference papers on one day

Announcement by IEEE follows publication of a study showing the retracted papers are linked to paper mills.
@rygorous I feel like this is subtooting at least one of actually existing formats
@aras oh this is subtooting SO MANY formats (bonus points for figuring out which)
As much as I like cheese enchiladas I really wish I’d had other food available for more meals in Albuquerque
@femme_mal @ai6yr Been there, done that, got the Tshirt. Milk soak finally took the sting out (not before I’d touched my eye 🙄).
