shattered LCD screen - none of what is on the screen is visible, many dead pixels on the bottom of the screen (image right) and the display is full of very large cyan/green visual artifacts, and two white stripes across the entire screen. Shutter speed of the image means the screen has black strobe lines running along it.

this "experimental" feature really improves the default experience fwiw
Following feed preferences page in the bluesky app, the experimental "show samples of your saved feeds in your following feed" feature is enabled.

what do you call brownies without chocolate?

blondies?

(sugar cookies attempt 2 but I replaced a bunch of things - structure is probably because the only fat in this is yoghurt, which is proteiny. I ran out of butter. I also ran out of sugar. lmao. honey and rose jam.)

ended up really good omg
pale "brownies" (no chocolate) cut into rectangles in a baking tray

rando pics from the same day as my profile banner
the sun approaching the horizon over water (a calm river, makes up the bottom third of the image, no land is visible, only the reflection of the sunlight, a thick orange line going up to the horizon) a small hooked anchor lying on damp grey silt - the anchor is simple and made up of five metal hooks welded to a metal rod with a bulbous end, a thumb-thickness rope rises from the anchor to the viewpoint, some straw/rope fiber lies next to the anchor on the sand the bow of a wooden narrowboat heading into smoggy air, forested land is vaguely visible to the left of the picture, on the horizon, the fog is thicker to the right and no horizon is visble - some rope ties the bow and goes up offshot. a longboat on the horizon, the sky and water are a similar greyish pink, and the water is calm, showing only slight grey waves on it's surface. another, potentially smaller, boat is visible to the right and further away.

Here's something unintelligible from the summer, so it can't possibly contain anything compromising or personal.
Boracay, Philippines. Picture of the sunset obscured by clouds. The beach is simply lit by neon lights from off-camera. The image is very dark. You can only really see two trees and many small silhouettes of people near the water.

So apparently I had left my game running overnight, and was working all day today with it running in the background without any memory explosion or apparent loss in performance

Says more about Godot's stability as an engine, but it's nice to know I don't have memory leaks (anymore, lol)
A grainy blue background with many black-outlined gray cuboids floating randomly in space. Some black platforms lie scattered throughout the cuboids. Context: this is the scene that I left my game running on overnight.

Good kitty too
An orange cat on a sidewalk. It is not shy, but moving to the side while walking towards me to walk past.

Gmorning. From yesterday:
A lone blooming four-o-clock flower hanging down next to another that is yet to bloom, upright. They are a vibrant purple, trumpet-shaped. There is an ot-of-focus orange tree in the background.

This plant is almost certainly not native. 🤪
Many green bananas in-tree. The tree seems healthy, and several more are visible in the background. Context: I live on Cyprus, which is decidedly not tropical or a suitable environment for the growth of bananas.

Today's wanderings
A closeup of the moon with slight chromatic abberation - the top right is slightly red, the bottom right, fading into the dark side of the moon, is blueish green An old glass door next to a small tree with sparse yellowing leaves. The door has a brown wooden frame, and is on the side of a disused building, pictured through an unfocused green grating. A church bell in a bell tower, the top of the arch of the entryway to the church is visible to the right of the bell tower. Some purple bellflowers, the closest one is out of focus - several flowers in the background are in focus.

Random pics :D
Dusty skies, a long riverboat on a river in silhouette. Two people aboard - one at the front, the other at the back - the sky and river are the same colours and only the presence of the waves make the water distinct from the sky. A view of an alleyway with Mediterranean style architecture, a blurry crescent moon is visible in the starless light-polluted sky above, an orange tree peeks out behind the building visible in the right side of the alleyway. A long-range image of a silhouetted figure standing atop an urban highrise rooftop with greenery around them, and birds flocking overhead. A building in the midst of construction, wreathed in scaffolding, is in silhouette in the foreground to the right. A rocky seaside to the left and a calm but wavey sea to the right, the sun is touching the sea on the horizon, with a fan of red-orange rising above it in the very thin clouds.
