San Francisco Billboards - August 2025
Every time I take a Lyft from the San Francisco airport to downtown going up 101, I notice the billboards. The billboards on 101 are always such a good snapshot in time of the current peak of the Silicon Valley hype cycle. I’ve decided to capture photos of the billboards every time I am there, to see how this changes over time. ⌘ Read more

ROFL 🤣 I've just read from someone on the Fedi, that Bluesky has started asking people for ID

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com And I read the following funny response to that:
Bluesky: Users verify their age by adding a payment method or uploading a photo ID.
Mastodon: Users verify their age by posting pictures of the vintage computer equipment in their homes.

We covered quite some ground in the two and a half hours today. The weather was nice, mostly cloudy and just 23°C. That’s also why we decided to take a longer tour. We saw four deer in the wild, three of which I managed to just ban on film, quality could be better, though. My camera produced a hell lot of defocused photos this time. Not sure what’s going on with the autofocus. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-07-10/
When the sun came out, colors were just beautiful:

@thecanine @movq So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a "deep and dark" path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. "AI" or "LLM"(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don't use them. I don't really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.

@prologic@twtxt.net What I meant, is that I will not say that someone is not really a writer, if they choose to have what they wrote, ran through some spelling and sentence structure checker, like the one included in MS Word, the average phone keyboard, or on reverso.net - given that they look over the output and make sure the corrections make sense.
Similarly, I won’t complain much, if someone uses AI, to remove backgrounds from images, where the AI can preform this task, as well as a human would and makes sure to check it afterwards, or use ai as a way to sort large quantities of images - usually done for science. An example of this, would be having terabytes of plant photos, from some cities camera system and having an AI analyse them, in an attempt to detect notable changes, like mold, parasites, or the plants needing more water.

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:
What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)
(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org now, that’s what I am talking about! Having been witness of similar sunsets, I would wholeheartedly agree that a photo (no matter how good!) is a poor replacement for not being able to spectate it in person.
@bender@twtxt.net Just like you, I change the wallpaper on my PC more often! However, @prologic@twtxt.net’s “Lake View” photo is perfect for my laptop, where I spend quite a bit of time.
@ionores@twtxt.net that ought to be some photo! I change mine at least once a month or so. It keeps me entertained.
