Quite eepy.

Due to absolutely contrived and unavoidable reasons that could be any conceptual macguffin, it is completely mandatory for you to change your last name.

What's the coolest you'd pick?

I present The Masters’ The Masters:

Caravaggio’s Federer
Da Vinci’s Navratilova
Rembrandt’s Williams and
Michaelangelo’s Djokovic

(With a “little” help from ChatGPT/Dall-E)

An AI generated portrait painting in the style of master painter Leonardo da Vinci, of Martina Navratilova (it only vaguely looks like her), tennis master, posing with a racket in front of fields
An AI generated portrait painting in the style of master painter Rembrandt, of Serena Williams, tennis master, posing for a portrait holding a racquet, wearing a corseted dress
An AI generated painting in the style of master painter Michaelangelo, of Novak Djokovic, tennis master, looking tens of metres tall, posing like a statue in a museum, wearing robes revealing exaggerated muscles, while holding a tiny racquet.

mattgrayyes OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

Explanation of the joke:
The Masters can refer to a group of historic widely-celebrated painters, and also the major tennis championships and their players. (Amongst many other things)

All the best jokes combine slightly niche knowledge of two specific topics with tenuous wordplay…

And if you’re here to complain about me occasionally using ai generated imagery for a shit pun then just mute me or scroll past or whatever.

Mastodon/the Fediverse is inhabited by people who would appreciate that I just printed @moon artwork on my dot matrix printer, right?
:alex_thinking:

Seems right up the alley of people like @mattgrayyes :alex_crazy:

well that was fun. I just soldered these 40awg wires to an fpc cable. the pin pitch is 0.2mm! the giant pads nearby are on a 0.1" header grid.

@tubetime that took me a minute to process the image because I thought the holes on the left were cups of tea!

Well if I ever start a proggy math rock band I’ve got the name for it:

I do like that this went from zero to #2 on trending in under 12 minutes and is still there.
And #1 was a toot enjoying the lefty voting surge in Finland.

Bit different over here to on twitter.

(On mastodon, I think the trending pages are per-instance. So the one I can see is the one for chaos.social specifically because that’s where my account is.)

If anyone has a service manual for an Epson TM-C3500 label printer I'd very much appreciate a copy please.
I bought one on eBay untested (with my fingers crossed) and it turns out it's not a happy bunny.

Print head is clogged, the printer has done the 5 head cleaning cycles it'll let you do and the screen says Service Mode. booo.

[edit: yes I’ve found all the other Googlable manuals. It’s the service manual I’m looking for]

mattgrayyes OP , vor einem Monat

Woo worked round it and got it going albeit a bit streaky.

I wonder whether @mattgrayyes is an #OpenStreetMap contributor.

It seems like the sort of thing they'd get up to in in quiet moments while out and about. But maybe that's just me projecting.

mattgrayyes , vor einem Monat

@squeakyears I’ve done a tiny bit of HOT OSM but not really

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to parse HTML using regular expressions.

Heat of the moment, eh? 😉

EMF is a giant team effort, but I'd like to thank some individuals:

Foremost @jellysnakes, my second on the Arts team, without whom I would have had a breakdown, and @oliverchild for carrying the load at Null Sector.

@joenash and @CatherineFlick for making the arcade awesome and saving me from feeling really stupid about the idea 😂, and @mrpjevans for doing the same with the video container.

Finally, @jonty for trusting me and being a lovely person and friend.

Apparently two people completed Janey Thomson's Marathon at #EMFCamp, anyone spotted any pics/videos/info?

mattgrayyes , vor einem Monat

@mattround a third completed it last night I think. (Or they at least got 1000yd away from the end 2h16 into it)

mattgrayyes , vor einem Monat

@mattround I have heard they did complete and were presented with a medal.

Congratulations on your daft flash!

For @emf, I’m making Mastodot, which in theory prints toots that are hashtagged for the event!

Yes it was working. No it’s not working now. That’s tomorrow’s problem.

Anyone at #emfcamp - is it muddy today? Considering my footwear choices 😅

mattgrayyes , vor einem Monat

@seb_ly I was last on site last night but it was beginning to dry up. I’d still recommend boots over trainers.
