Anyone with open commissions who wants to do some #art for NetBSD?

My daughter did the backseat driving for Dad who did the Inkscaping, to create "Tommy the Toaster", a kawaii toaster (looks a bit similar to the Oster-brand one that NetBSD notoriously runs on).
I've got the SVG source if interested
For the folks unacquainted with the @netbsd toaster (it was notably more red than pink), it's quite the piece of NetBSD lore

@netbsd I wish you good luck finding an artist to make your artworks, and I salute your no AI policy for it! 🧡
Here is a little watercolor sketch freely inspired by your logo.

You were the furst that popped into mind when I saw their post this morning.

Yeah, that makes sense—HHKB was doing the small-form-factor keyboards long before it was cool/popular with scads of alternatives available, so the timeframe fits too. Thanks for the bonus facts!

@davidrevoy What's the scooter for? What's your power level?
@citadel9 @davidrevoy it's obviously OVER 9000!

@netbsd Here's some of my art, including a mascot for a (long defunct) Linux distro I did over a decade ago!

@davidrevoy @netbsd As I am not aware if you know about this software already. I am in the process of redoing all of my photography internet uploads with this software and thought you might be interested. It helps to protect your incredible art from being plagarized by "AI". The software is called Glaze.

https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/@atraidez @netbsd Yes, well aware (unfortunately), and I'll do the short version: it is a AI bro scam, boosted by a large (and successful) marketing effort. It was defeated on day 1, and now remain with a user base like a cult, especially appreciated from non technical user who are ready to believe in it because it sounds like the only "tech" option. But it doesn't work.
That's sad, I wish something like that would work, be open-source, would run on Linux, and be done by serious peoples.

We've got a budget for paying for some concept art and can later talk about working with you on some merch. DM us!
Naturally, we cannot accept contributions using generative AI.

@atraidez @netbsd Sources: see Cara social network recent news, who had 12 millions of artworks scrapped three time on August by AI dataset. The 'Glaze' on a big part of them (it was a premium built-in service) changed nothing.
Computer effort, electricity for nothing.
The illusion of protection. Sadly. -

@gumnos @netbsd @mwl photo reminds me that I ran NetBSD on a cobalt Qube that I bought used. I still have two generations of Cobalt Qube in my closet somewhere. They were kind of a pain to work on but very cool hardware form factor for the time. (I was buying them used on eBay at least a decade after they discontinued them.)

@citadel9 Hehe, I just wanted a "tech" detail, showing she was using a digital object

Je vois puffy la mascotte de fish linux dans la palette à guache qui se trouve sur la gauche du dessin

Based. Thank you.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @atraidez@infosec.exchange I don't think it was intended as a scam; the original research behind it is logical, and its initial release was able to defeat the current state of image2image generators.
Unfortunately, it's fundamentally incapable of being a long-term solution to the problem; it doesn't matter if it can block all of the current LLMs, because as soon as even one person finds a way to defeat it, every image that had previously been glazed is effectively now completely unprotected, and this exact scenario has happened several times.
I think the developers behind it mostly just have a lot of hubris and think that they will be able to come up with an unbreakable solution if they try hard enough. (I am also a little biased because I tried to reach out to them about helping make a Linux port in the early days of it, and I was fairly rudely rejected) -
@skybert thank you!
