At first I thought it was embarrassing for @macworld.com to post conflicting headlines on the same day,
but then I realized the issue is that @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social positions #rumors as a subcategory of #news.
It’s not bad #UX or design, just a semantic design flaw that’s ethically dubious.

Going through a similar awakening w #AI as I did with the Internet — realizing it’s not a tool that guarantees wider enlightenment.
Like any tool its use is governed by physics and human flaw - the path of least resistance to satisfy short term gain and instant gratification.

What has taken me so long to see #OpenSource software so widely used by the government agencies as infrastructure to be subsidized by tax dollars?
The ROI should be obvious to any responsible digital citizen.

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure
To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution.

Just experienced firsthand the benefit of Cursor #AI vs LLM.
Spent like 15 min writing the best possible prompt with all the context I can think of for LLM.
“Comment out the problem code” #chatgpt
Asked a very general question of
codebase aware agent.
“Do this to make problem code work” #cursor

As a webmaster I crashed a Gazette hosted newspaper forum for editors and publishers from various publications around New England to get a wider perspective as I build out a new #CMS.
Big takeaway for me was the noticed misunderstand of the value of media literacy for readers AND content creators.

Here’s a page that pools all of the newspapers #Jaws stories, and ties in other sister publications.
I included a list of Jaws events, a Jaws promotional product, and a new Google #Ad location that can be used for other promotional pages across the website.

Took a #sacredGeometry workshop at @StillpointMV over the weekend.
Don’t feel like I learned anything new, but it was a good excuse to revisit the subject.
I’ve always tried to use numbers as concept in my art, as it’s perfectly aligned with #computerArt

I was just messaging a friend about using TouchDesigner. I played with it a bit, but ended up using Max to build a custom #VJ program for music shows.

This is a misleading video. The context implies making a living #MarthasVineyard is possible. It really isn’t without some sort of assistance.

Our newsroom has already seen traffic from “bsky”- first user reported Aug 2023.
It’s not much (yet), but I’m unsure how @bsky.app made it easier to track #websiteanalytics

We 💙 links!
Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites.
For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.

That long line of the stair rail points to a growing tree. Imagining the change reveals time as a fresh perspective from a new dimension.

I write a Shell script that downloads #tide information from Newport and Boston from NOAA, and then convert it to local #marthasvineyard times using a #PHP script.
That also converts it to a table we use in the #newspaper.
Here’s next week’s tide chart as it appears in ink.
