@joehenriod @MartinNebelong @zacharymandrews My last tweet didn't fit a full definition of what fan art is, but let's consider fan art by adults and (aspiring) pros for a fair comparison. Aside from that, I'd choose a child's Princess Mononoke drawing over generic AI any day, especially cause they have personality and charm

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

@MartinNebelong @zacharymandrews Fan art typically adds a personal spin or strives for the craftsmanship of the original creators. The AI renderings of Princess Mononoke I saw did neither. While live-action is new, it looks uninspired and generic, adding nothing of interest to the universe in my opinion.

I am so glad the old partisan owners of Twitter are gone and we have this new politically neutral one now

How it started. How it’s going.

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election.

The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony.

13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.

@Friedemann_A @FutureFriendsVG Wow, congratulations! 🥳 All on Steam alone? I’m surprised that the number of reviews Summerhouse has doesn’t reflect the old rule of 30-70 sales per review. Perhaps this rule is outdated or did you have a very recent and extremely successful boost?

Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the roof of the White House in 1979.
They were removed in 1986 during Ronald Reagan’s administration and were never reinstalled.

Seems collectively we’ve found the perfect UI design for social media apps. It’s so perfect that I can’t even tell which app I’m using to post this because they all use the same perfect solution. #uidesign #appdesign #microblogging #soulless

A few more variations from the tool I am working on

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

At the end of the day, knowing my real work time vs. screen time makes it easier to step away from unfinished tasks—ones I’ll likely solve much faster when I’m fully rested the next day.

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

Tried the Pomodoro technique ⏲️🍅 but find it interrupts your workflow? Here’s what works for me: Start an endless timer and track every 15 minutes. Worked for 65 minutes? You’ve earned 2 Pomodoros. Feeling frustrated at 40 minutes? Push through for 5 more to reach 45!

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

the feeling when you solve an annoying bug 1 min before you wanted to have breakfast 🙏 🎉

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

@koehreless thanks! Yes, made from scratch with the #OpenFrameworks library for C++

[Marek Plichta @artbymarek]

Having fun programming this drawing tool to learn some C++. It allows me to procedurally arrange my sprite animations with nodes, with the hope of creating some very specific VFX.

@PeterBowdenLive @bilawalsidhu Are you overlooking the fact that people don't become actors solely to produce movies, but for the process of acting itself? Many love the craft, which generates unforgettable moments that could never be conceived in a script alone nor through an AI puppetmaster tool.

not that anyone of you will see this anyway 🤷

X must have downgraded my visibility quite a bit here. On Mastodon and Bluesky a post of mine got dozens of likes and retweets, while here it got none. No surprise really but annoying as I also rarely see posts by people I care about here #X #twitter #algorithms #Censorship
