Close-up on a patch of mud with various small bits of leaf and twig, and one or possibly two backends of golden brown beetles which I initially thought might be cockchafers but could be any similarly shiny species

All of the ingredients mentioned in the tweet, plus the implied oats, but not the sunflower seeds which I didn't remember in time

The finished porridge in the pan: light chocolatey brown and very thick, with sunflower seeds and tiny bits of carrot and rhubarb just about visible under the surface. There's a big splodge of Greek yoghurt in the middle, and a few chocolate covered nuts are sprinkled on top

The view very approximately north west from Launceston Castle: mostly green fields and trees stretching way into the distance, but with a few houses in the bottom right

#FMSPAD 11/4 A view I love: The Geeps were unfortunately unable to dance as planned in Launceston today, but I'm glad I went anyway, even if just to see this from the castle #FMS_AView26

A large stone in the foreground covered with lichen and sticking out of the edge of a very thick very eroded stone wall. Most of the background is a much lower down slightly less eroded very thick stone wall

A dandelion growing in the gap between the breeze blocks under my shed and the bags of stones in front of it which I still haven't turned into a ramp

Me wearing cheap plastic sunglasses indoors. They are very slightly askew, as are all glasses I wear, presumably because my ears aren't level or something

Next week’s disability cuts will make people destitute – and you might not understand how bad they are until it’s too late | Frances Ryan If new claimants don’t meet strict criteria, they’ll lose half of the health element of universal credit. Don’t ignore that: in life’s lottery, that could easily be you, says Guardian columnist France...

“Ministers justified reducing support for people too disabled or ill to work by arguing it would remove the “perverse incentives” that discourage employment… as if a twentysomething bedbound with ME just needs “incentivising” to get back to the building site”

I don't get the headline on this. Surely it's jam that might get relabeled?

Several flowers which look slightly like tulips (but are probably something entirely different) growing more or less in a row. Most are yellow, but a few in the middle have red edges to their petals

Speaking as the Krita maintainer, I don’t want us to accept any LLM-generated code into Krita.

Some may say, as long as the contributor understands the code it’s fine, but that’s a fallacy.

No programmer really fully understands the code they are working with (otherwise bugzilla would be empty); but with LLM-generated code they haven’t even put any thought into it. That code will be unmaintainable.

And that’s even completely apart from the fact that using LLM’s to generate code lowers your cognitive capacity, burns up the planet, destroys water sources all over the world and takes away from people what fits them best: being creative together with other humans.

The right thing to do could be to, after you’ve experimented in this environmentally-disastrous way, to describe the feature you reached and wanted and make a wish item in bugzilla, or discuss it here, and then let people who can code implement it in a responsible way.

This was encouraging to see in @krita.org's dev questions board in response to a question about LLM use

A side plate holding a piece of coffee cake tray bake, what looks like a very thick shortbread round but it's actually spiced heavy cake, and a slice of Bakewell tart. There is a full cup of tea to the right of the plate, but only half of it is in frame

#FMSPAD 29/3 A plate: I usually go to Barripper cake stall on each first Friday, but it was today this month because of the bank holiday. Whereas the similar first Monday event in Praze will be going ahead unaffected on holiday Mondays in consecutive months #FMS_Plate26

A modern Royal Mail postbox on a post. It's a fairly clean cuboid shape, although the back top edge has much more than the very slight rounding is the other edges. The front face is slightly recessed, but there is a peak above the actual slot to keep the rain out. It is of course bright red, and in very good condition, but there are the remains of a few bits of sticky tape on the right face which used to hold a variety of posters in place. Judging by the shadow, it can't be more than an inch away from the wall behind it

The still unfinished window sill in my kitchen above the nice new worktop which was done weeks ago. Resting on the edge of the sill is a 5cm square sample of the same fake rock slab that the worktop is made from

A small coir doormat propped against an upturned flower pot with its back towards the camera. It is rather grubby, and its lower corners are folded up in a way which appears to defy gravity, but actually shows that it has dried out while twisted up and is now stuck in an odd shape
