I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Spent my day without power cleaning my old film camera and getting some film loaded into it. Seemed appropriate for such a quiet, internet-free day.

Drove through 4 states today and made it to Kansas City for another little conference this weekend.
And then I’m going home and not leaving my house for a week. Maybe two weeks. Maybe even longer.

Hahaha, needed this today!
If you ever feel like you don't know what you're doing, just keep in mind Spotify sent out an email today with an image that is 8736x11648 in dimensions and 19.6MB in filesize.
So. You're fine.

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

My cat (and also very much my mom’s cat) passed last November at the ripe old age of 20. She loved to lay in my mom’s flowerbeds so to commemorate her passing I made a little garden stone to mark where she’s buried and painted her portrait on it.
It looks so cute resting in the summer flowers.

I didn’t really know what I wanted this account to be (personal? tech related?) but I’ve just now decided that I’m going to use this account to shame all of the bad site design I come across
Take this for starters. Gosh, I’d really like to be able to see the navigation?! 😒
