  • Merry Christmas is a popular expression in the UK too.

    I think that merriment is actually much easier to attain than happiness. One could be miserable in life, but have a few drinks and be merry.

  • Any platform has vulnerability to exploit to some degree. But this article is about piggybacking on the Find My network to transmit data without actually compromising the network. It’s a clever technique, and worth reading more than the headline.

  • Trans people are literally just trying to get on with their lives while bigots obsess about them.

    The same type of people said the same things about women getting the vote, interracial couples, and homosexuality.

    I hope history continues to move in the right direction and leave these nosey fucks as nothing more than shameful memories.

  • Back in the early 00’s I used to spend days making artwork like this in Maya and Photoshop. I’ve been playing with these ML image generators for a while but every now and again I step back and marvel at how advanced they’ve become recently.

  • Just to add some cool etymology to your reply: the word silhouette comes from a type of affordable portrait made by quickly painting or cutting out a persons profile in black paper. These, and portrait miniatures, fell quickly out of favour with the advent of photography.

    The word silhouette is derived from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister who, in 1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during the Seven Years' War to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy.[3] Because of de Silhouette's austere economies, his name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits.[4][5] Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance.[6][7]
