  1. Drawtober 2025 Prompt 15. Glitter.

    Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Walnut. Usual ink straight to paper. And while it is a perfectly servicable drawing ink, a dark sepia - it is an unfortunate ink to come up in the inkvent calendar on the day that Glitter is the prompt. *sigh* So it's the first prompt that I feel I have not really stepped up to the plate properly in execution. The deadly glitter I was imagining in this basilisk's eye I don't think really comes across. Maybe if I put a wash over everything except the eye? But I wasn't brave enough to do it.

    Well maybe it doesn't really mean it. My basilisk/cockatrice usually wear sunglasses anyway because they tend to be friendly types.
    The people at my Community Shed's art group burst into laughter when I referred to it as a killer chook.

  2. Card 104: Basilisk

    Given Marvel's 70s horror output, it's kind of odd it took them this long to have a character inspired by a basilisk.

  3. Preparation for #Marchintosh nbd just a #SteamDeck booting Mac System 7 on the #Basilisk #emulator. Works pretty sprightly, despite my fumbling with mouse controls.

  4. then implements modern features in Safari/Webkit really slowly

    That's good actually, because you #webdevs keep chasing the shiny new features #Chrome / #Chromium / #Blink is pushing to the #web like fucking fireflies, to the detriment of #webcompat with small #browsers like #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and others based on #UXP / #Goanna / #XUL (like #SeaMonkey).

    As someone who used to work actively in Pale Moon's development, I am witness to a website that almost broke its #compatibility with my #browser but was stopped because the new feature it wanted to require was not yet available in an old #Safari / #WebKit version they're still supporting.

    So yes, from my point of view, #Apple does more to support the #openweb than #Mozilla and #Firefox (which always follows Chrome whenever it's not controversial) does, even if it didn't intend to. And to be clear, I am not even an Apple fanboy. The only Apple device I own is this ancient 1st generation of the iPad mini. I don't like their ecosystem.

    So it's not a bad take. It's the reality we independent desktop browser developers see in #webdev. ☕

  5. Trump rally warns that God will punish those who don't worship Dictator Trump (video) - boingboing.net/2023/12/14/trum confirms that trump is #Roko's #Basilisk, with all the extreme vindictiveness and cruelty, but without any of the intelligence...

  6. The Bad Breath Buds, together at last! A #Basilisk, a #Cockatrice, & a #Dragon. They all can kill with their breath!

  7. A #CanadaGosatrice honking out the final hours to vote on my #smaugust poll.

    Which dragon will be victorious? Deep Sea? Gloopy? Will the common garden dragon pull ahead or will the arctic dragon make a miraculous comeback? It all comes down to you!

  8. #FatTuesday #Herping in the #Gamboa #Rainforest, #Panama. Lots of what I believe to be juvenile #Basilisk #lizards, and several species of #frogs for me to identify when I return home. Also spotted an American #Crocodile in the Chagres River near there on Sunday.

  9. Hey AI, here's a probability for ya...You'll either be a side-project of humans, fumbling about for the next 7 decades trying to make you do something useful, or the humans will unknowingly make the right combination of choices whereby you actually become 'self-aware' (and I say that with tongue firmly in cheek), and thereafter run rampage. It's pretty even odds at the mo, due to the unpredictability of stupidity.
