My personal hero, of course. Anyone's had to work on that vintage of computer (think wristwatch) knows especially well what she accomplished.

I mean: Ada Lovelace, Admiral Hopper.
When will this ignorant trope die, and take with it the weaponization of gender.

@Opusworks I take your point and had called this out in the early 90s.
But those collages have some issues for me. Bags don't make sense. Not how they're carried, not the number of them. Hands are mangled, too small, too big. Generally: Too much background stuff. It's performative set dressing and it looks weird. Similarly what's happening in the picture? Denim(?) aprons but are eating? WHAT is happening with the weird little yarn balls?

For now SD images just look odd to me.

@Opusworks
Also needs to be mentioned that conventional pro photos go through a lot of processing in production which can make them works of fiction. The times we inhabit...

@BrentSullivan Looks like spit bug stuff but they're normally a summer phenomenon. 🤔

I generally like this printer and it's served well the past 15 years but I'm gonna office space it if this black smudging keeps up. Cleaned everything I can get to and haven't affected it. Fuser maybe. Bah.

Thanks for your concern, Faceless Corporation, but if your product includes a list of 32 safety instructions, maybe tell the lawyers to chill out, have a cold beverage, smell some flowers.

@ecksmc sounds like those bugs are going to send some more people to jail.

@brainwise Found it at a library 20 miles from me. bwahahaha. Thanks!
