@pbloem@sigmoid.socialGeert Wilders posted an islamophic image in a tweet a few days ago and is now being sued for it.
The thing is, the image is clearly AI generated. This means that the prompt for it is still around somewhere.
Under US discovery, that prompt would certainly be made public; possibly in the Dutch system as well.
This suggests some interesting possibilities. First, if Wilders made the image himself, his language in the prompt may have been more candid than his public persona.

Next, you realize that wire limits also affect the wires between your personal and company account, and you exceed the daily limit. But you don't wanna bother changing it, so you'll just wire the remainder tomorrow.
Tomorrow, you discover that wiring the rest would exceed the monthly limit. But well, there are only two days left in this month…

@paulbusch@mstdn.caDetermining our future savings might be a bit difficult. At our old house I knew the cost of filling an oil tank a couple of times a year.

Now I'm in a new home (10 days today) with only monthly averages for Hydro and Enbridge provided by the real estate listing. But that should be enough data to give me an approximate estimate.
