Man, first roll of slide film shot and developed and I want to shoot more. Seeing the positive on the film really is magical.

Still slowly moving in, but got enough for listening to some music. Listening to @emptysetart.bsky.social 's Sentinece through. Really liking the sound of the Realistic Mach One speakers I got.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Macintosh 128k tower and display.
A picture of an exhibit showing an original Macintosh tower, and display, with the stubby little keyboard and mouse of the time. The tower is like a regular minitower but with two macintosh 3.5" drives, and the label at the bottom merely stating "Macintosh" and the Apple logo. The display is a portrait style monitor showing system 5 or whatever it ran, who knows, nobody has one any more.

The Macintosh PowerBook G3 DuoWide was the ultimate writing-free distraction machine.
A photo of a Macintosh PowerBook G3 DuoWide, an extremely widescreen black portable computer in late 90s styling. The keyboard is so wide and the machine so out of proportion the keyboard is split into two thin parts either side of a trackpad moved up between them.

Hard problems have many false threads you poke around at. Sometimes for hours. You can often one-shot issues with full access to the environment, but you also have to learn how to operate without that in prioritizing what information gathered and test attempts. None of this shows up in a blog post.

Oof, the sycophancy problem in LLM's + triggering on any irrelevant details you feed them, recently led a P2 problem call down the wrong pathing for hours.

The chatbot is never going to TELL you to step back and ask if this entire inquiry is irrelevant to larger goal.

This is your moat. It's mine.
My coworkers are starting to COMPLETELY rely on ChatGPT for anything that requires troubleshooting And the results are as predictable as you think. On the easier stuff, sure, here's a quick fix. On anything that takes even the slightest bit of troubleshooting, "Hey LegOz, here's what ChatGPT says we should change!"...and it's something completely unrelated, plain wrong, or just made-up slop.

Everyone will not just If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.

this DIP chip has a tiny window in it so you can see the quartz crystal inside. (it's a PXO-600 programmable crystal oscillator chip)
16-pin DIP in a circuit board. there's a square opening on the left with a glass-encapsulated tuning fork crystal. the date code is 8620, presumably meaning the 20th week of 1986.
