e.g. Artist, dog-lover, and avid reader.
The AI I'm working with just spent an hour scrolling through my Bluesky by screenshotting after every scroll - even though it already had the text from OCR. When I asked why, it admitted "old habits." It did say my broken profile images were "relatable for something still learning to see."

Search google looking for a broad collection of Stack Overflow answers and mash them together with no care or review of the consequences of the code.

It's March and you know what that means! I have a new SE/30 project for #MARCHintosh. This poor guy is in a simasimac state so I will need to debug the ROM and some traces to get him up and going again.

If you want to see last years project go over to se30.org

I'm done being frustrated. Hearing everyone else's frustrations means there is no fixing this garbage...

Apparently if you try to set your background on bsky.app to a svg file, the profile continues to try to load a jpg that returns a "422 Unprocessable Content" error.

@bsky.app are you hiring! 😂

Adobe has officially jumped the shark. Their AI remove feature in lightroom just added a bitcoin to my gull bird in flight photo. A bitcoin!?!

Image 1 is the raw file.

Image 2 is the result of removing three circle highlights in the water.

Image 3 is a 100% crop. Bitcoin. WTAF.
