I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...

Hey, so August 7th is the next Bandcamp Friday! That means that all purchases that day go directly to the musicians (instead of the usual 85%, which honestly is already a really good split). I'm reminding everybody now because I tend to forget! daily.bandcamp.com/features/ban...

I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
