Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@RoyBrander Doesn't even need to be more than a dirty bomb, or a dummy that they wouldn't know for sure is a dummy.

Girl in ad, after a full day of posing for the artist :

Why do I hear colours and smell sounds?

Updating some keyword filter actions from warn to hide. Enough still leaks through that to keep me somewhat informed without being overloaded with orange leader bs.

@RoyBrander @profoundlynerdy Would the ARRL Antenna Book have something on that specific issue?

Had a power outage instead. Things are back, but I'm doing a catalog verify first just to be safe.

Updating all the photo related software, cracking knuckles, and then getting down to revisiting a project that I did a ok-effort-only on-site editing job of in December. For a type of subject I wouldn't otherwise do. As a favour.

I mean, shooting mountain bikes dropping off cliffs was interesting, but I normally don't deal with moving things very much and certainly not extreme sports. (This is a in-situ unreleased-at-the-time mountain bike being put through it's paces in Sedona area.)

These might be the next ones to go up on my Vernissage site. I should clear that with the bike company first though.

@ghorwood Whichever grade it was that first brought up prisms and light separation, showing "white" light being made up of all the colours at once. Jr high somewhen?

Not to over generalize, but ... is the only generation that has a substantially large cohort who knows how computers generally work from top to bottom?

This is a
about the new functional illiteracy of our times.

Today I was reminded that some people just throw out their old computers when they get slow and weird due to malware, and get new computers, instead of trying to scan/purge or fresh install the old one. The mind boggles.

@ghorwood I never knew that. Needs to be more widely known. Thanks.

Back in simpler times, I set up some mailing list software and added any spammer that found my inbox to that list, then injected their spam back to the list. This was when the majority of spam was sent from real accounts. From fields were not forged, generally.

There were clear instructions in the email headers on how to unsubscribe.

The indignant chaos of them fighting with each other demanding to get off the list and to stop sending them spam was priceless entertainment.
