Interesting, indeed: for companies with AI/LLMs services based on prompt count or length of characters until a subscription, it sounds reasonable to think they can get extra motivation to make the user type more and turn around and around until they get a answer they consider valid or satisfactory.

🤣 Oh yes. And probably many things looking good at first, but totally awkward later; like the door to the toilets not opening fully because hitting the toilet seat, or a random door lower sized than all other that you have to constantly remind for bending yourself a little, or a random stair on the way to a room lower than all other. Many little poisons like that 😆

Thank you! Yes, it was on my list for long, but I wanted to really put it at a moment in the story when Cepper, the Gothic Sorceress, would really need it.
With the home destroyed on the two previous episode it was the perfect opportunity. Now, I have another good opening to jump on the theme of the 'locally installed AI', also a big item on my TODO list.

Yes, it's probably better like that, I prefer to inform anyway about it when I need to post a day earlier or like in January, a day later (had a funeral that day, wasn't in the mood to post my funny comic and spam the TL of my family with it).
It's life, and I'm not a company with a process, or software that does crossposting (I continue to post all manually), and I prefer it that way 😊, it's always a pleasure to comeback with something weekly.

Yes! Feel free to steal the idea and the graphics for it, no need attribution for that!
Just, also check the html and css code: it was painful to adapt it so 'read-out-loud' assistant for accessibility don't read it and same for Firefox 'text only' mode, but I found workarounds. You might want them too.
Also: it works, the crawler of a famous search engine took it, so it might be soon also part of dataset for training AI.

Yes, safe for many personal usage. Terry Pratchett was known for having no issues with fan-fiction and fan-art; never asking them for removal (it was a debate on the early Internet years). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_issues_with_fan_fiction#Authors

Painted on Debian KDE 12 stable, Krita, no reference because I had the image in mind. It's an OC, for a one-shot graphic novel I started writing in 2010, The Electron Donor, and I make progress here and there on the pre-production, especially when I want to paint cyberpunk genre (rare).

Yes, tiny, must be very concentrated. Also, I just saw I instinctively painted the glass half full. Or half empty. My brain probably had a philosophical debate at this time int he background.

Coucou, oui j'ai un one shot écris qui date, 2010, https://www.davidrevoy.com/article41/electron-donor mais j'aimerai bien le mettre en image.
Alors ici et là, je m'amuse à avancer dans les concept-art. Là, je voulais une donneuse d'électron plus âgé, et avec plus de vécu.
Oui, ce serait une nouvelle assez réconfortante mais dans un univers assez dark. La formule que SpaceFox décrit bien. Un clin d’œil aussi à la petite vendeuse d’allumettes.

Hello, alors je n'ai pas d'avis car jamais testé ce modèle. En fait, ça à l'air d'être la techno 'Active' AES ( AES: Active ElectroStatic ), ce qui est hyper variable en qualité et nécessite la charge du stylet. (les Wacom, XpPen et Huion pour le dessin pro on la techno EMR: ElectroMagnetic Resonance, sans batterie).
Tout dépends avec l'AES si le constructeur à bien fait le boulot: si la dalle n'a pas de 'bruit' electrostatic, si la latence est bonne, etc... J'éspère que ça ira.

Totalement! C'est même pour ça que dans ma métaphore, je voulais vraiment montrer que le petit renard reste un renard , tant bien même recouvert de cendre. Ca ressemble donc plutôt a une "community curated edition" de Firefox, mais je crois que c'est ce que je cherche là. Je commence à me méfier de Mozilla. Ils dérapent trop souvent ces derniers temps, et ça c'est que la partie publique...

Think of CMYK like a special language for printers. Artists need it to ensure their designs look great on paper, not just on screens. And it's not just about art - CMYK is used in millions of printed objects we use daily, from packaging to billboards. It's a crucial part of our visual world!

Pour ma nièce, j'ai pris un modèle un peu similaire à la "One by Wacom"; j'ai pris sur leboncoin; plein prênent la poussière dans des placards et c'est pas cher. 1/2

Yes, it's one of their competitor. They became popular by increasing their quality while keeping a lower price on this market. The same strategy also for Xencelabs, Gaomon and XpPen.
Unfortunately, Huion decided to propose only proprietary drivers on their website for GNU/Linux, with a discutable and variable quality and no possibility to report issues, fix them, or improve them. That's why a free/libre software open driver is important to me, and also testing hardware running on it.

I feel sorry in advance if another meaning than "Mozilla leadership once again are making clown things" can be interpreted from this drawing.
If it is hurting a community. That's not my intention at all with this comic.
Also, if it has something to do with the makeup symbols or the colors of the hair, it is just inspired/inherited from the original meme (src: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup ).
Thank you for pointing it, I hope my answer will participate to disambiguate anything wrong.
