Done. I don’t run KDE so its only the sticker file.

Lol, I try not to take the complaints too seriously. What’s it missing though? What project do you think there needs to be a hexagon floor?

That butthole is Anthropic’s logo, so you had the AI part right.

Yes. I’m trying to not go deep in the shop side, hence no links.

I went through a few print providers and found Printify’s default sticker printer to be really good. Much better quality than I had been getting out of the Redbubble or Teepublic printing. And yes, each logo is actually a composite of 24 triangles that makes a mosaic that resembles the logo. It was fun to make them and then squint and be like, yeah, that does look like the Debian swirl. After I finished my laptop I kept making new ones and put them up for sale. If there’s any project you think I should do next, let me know.

I wish it was that sophisticated. I 3D printed a stencil or jig to line up the edges and use a razor knife on my kitchen cutting board. It works well enough. I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I’m using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I’m tired of hex FOSS.

So some news outlets get to protect their precious little articles from the big bad AI, which will probably destroy news as we know it anyway

I was thinking about this. What happens when all the big outlets are having AI write their news?You can’t get answers on today’s news without feeding the model today’s news. Therefore, somebody has to create the data source.

I see a few scenarios:

• Google scrapes, aggregates, and summarizes to the point that nobody reads the article/sees the ads and the news site goes under. Then Google has nothing to scrape but press releases and government sources. Or…
• News sites block access to scrapers and charge for it but may be wary of crossing their customers (news aggregators) in their coverage
• The above creates a tiered system where premium news outlets (AI assisted writing but with human insight) are too expensive for ad supported Google to scrape, so Google gets second tier news from less reliable, more automated sources, or simply makes it themselves. Why not cut out the middle man?
• Rouge summarizers will still scrape the real news outlets and summarize stories to sell to Google. This will again make paid news a luxury since someone with a subscription will summarize and distribute the main point (okay) or their spin (bad).

I’m failing to see where this will go well. Is there another scenario?

When I heard the Fairphone 4 didn’t have any waterproofing I decided to skip this version. My coworker is replacing their Samsung S10 just because the USB port is getting loose but they’re an avid boater. For some, water resistance really matters.
