Hispanic New Yorkers give our city its flavor, sound, & style. Where else do you hear Mixtec & Quechua on the same train? Smell chaufa & champurrado on the same block? See a Dominican barber give a Venezuelan kid a fade, a life lesson, & a new accent in one visit? Last night, we celebrated it all.

Omfg I never noticed this is a relatively new thing for me (I don't use it to remotely open/close my door that much). Absolute fail, MyQ. You had ONE JOB.
A "before" view of the MyQ app on first open. There is an ad above and below the camera view of my garage door camera.An "after" view of the MyQ app, showing the same screen, but the bottom ad has been dismissed. You can now see the Garage Door button that opens and closes the garage door. It was completely blocked by the initial ad

I'm familiar with the game spy hunter from nearly 40 years ago though the one I'm thinking of was an arcade game I found through the dev's pinball work (George Gomez), i thought spy hunter was developed by bally midway in the US... searching, oh! NES port, right. I'd missed the Sunsoft clarification

Jump To Conclusions Humorous Game Board
Alt: Jump To Conclusions fake game from office space movie, it's a big mat on the floor with different conclusions that you can jump to in colorful squares. The squares say things like jump again, strike out, could be, loose one turn (misspelling is on the mat in the film, extra o in lose), yes, no, accept it, go wild, one step back, think again, and moot. Bottom says: start.

updated with lyrics less likely to concern friends I mean probably but also maybe still somewhat, because after all, that's just proper away message song selection yah it's a 2023 blink-182 song, fits here imo. (qmmp's icons are also an anachronism) it's linux, details in alt if anyone's curious
windows 95 style desktop with official white cloud background on blue sky (based on icons in the taskbar it's evident this is modern linux - with chicago95 theme in xfce on debian doing most of the work, plus desktop icons arranged and named to reflect original order, css hid a windows 98 line by start, workaround renamed Trash to Recycle Bin etc) at 1024x768. Main feature is a fake AIM away message, clear fake as it doesn't have anything in the taskbar and no buddy list visible. It's titled Leave a message CYL. text body of away message is black background, cyan comic sans lyrics, as was the style at the time:
Older, but nothing's any different,
Right now feels the same ~ I wonder,
why / I wish they told us,
It shouldn't take a sickness,
Or airplanes falling out the sky.
To the side is WinAmp which looks real but icons at the bottom indicate it's qmmp reskinned and ProjectM in place of the old winamp vis, but with similar geiss milkdrop effect of purple waves on black doing line ripple effects. equalizer is in club present, higher in the middle, though lowered on the bass side manually here. listening to moby porcelain. Playlist, not important here but including in alt for accessibility reasons, don't read too much into these song choices I just scooped up a bunch from my mp3 collection I backed up 25 years ago, truncated to fit most are band only:
eagle eye cherry
eiffel 65 - blue
creed - beautiful
blink 182 - what's
Van Halen - Right now
alanis morisse...
house of pain
new radicals -you get what you give (away message lyrics here)

backstreet boys
Modest Mouse
chemical bros

young mc
blink 182

dmx - slippin

Eve 6- Think

oh yeah 1000% especially in the speech to text direction, and surely there are (perhaps with other sites) cases of LLMs being tagged in to to dream up perceived clean up needed for OCR output, only meant in my particular example with that particular site I don't think that was a case of it going on

There's enough real reasons to be mad 😂 Reminder to me to slow down and look more carefully into things Promptly took it down, in-thread corrections never get seen Consistent with the word skipped and garbling another word that was under screenshot UI elements What I misinterpreted on my screen 👇
foreground shows text screenshot in imagetotext.info, background shows text output, it matches except the background shows a final line I couldn't see in the screenshot:
 feel better about having done? Use the whiteboard%

the top/rest of the text, if curious, says:
GET YOURSELF TO DO THINGS: THE SELF-COMMAND AND SELF-DOUBT BUND...
shred our attention. They intermix together serious, stressful, productive, useless personal fragments that all lead nowhere, in no order, with no connection. That can do some damage.
Rather than thinking about it as, "I'm going to not do those things, because those things aren't helping me," it's a bit more like how I'm vegan, so I don't eat meat, dairy, eggs, etc. and when someone makes that choice in their diet, you don't just stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy, you replace things. It's not about eating less, it's about eating different.
In the same way, when we want to get rid of something like these attentional feeds - the modern-day siren we need to tie ourselves to the ship's mast to avoid - what's going to work bet- ter is rather than saying I'm not going to do those things, fig- ure out what you want to do, instead.

Acknowledging my mistake in a post earlier: came to a wrong conclusion! I dug into it, I think www.imagetotext.info only uses tesseract-ocr, machine learning based on pixels in an image no LLM involved Still seems reasonable for getting alt text ✅ Cranking levels revealed my book's missing line 😅

wiped my posts again (as I do) apologies to anyone who quote posted me 😅 I keep bsky conversational, if there's something I feel worth saying in a lasting way I'll organize it better as a longer video or book, etc anyway good news alert yoshi the foster dog got adopted! off to his new home tomorrow

thanks for letting me know! deleting my post to reduce confusion going around, since even if I reply with your clarification quoted most people never see after the top post but ya I still blame them for this mix up, a gazillion dollar tech company should be able to figure out a redirect or link 😂

They've used it as an excuse to not do anything they didn't want to, to make up new powers to do whatever they want instantly without any process or oversight, and blame it every day on their channels on the other party not in power, literally cannot imagine any upside for them to reopen it

I'm still covid cautious because of my two friends who died to it and several friends struggling to earn a living with severe long covid, prefer to minimize someone else handling my groceries and talking to me unmasked when I have the option. Thank you for your excellent contribution to this post.

it's a reasonable theory, though it conflicts with our other theory about him getting lost that this temporary sign is related to him being unable to tell which place he's trying to find

and depending on the throw technique I imagine even at point blank the spread is probably more lateral like the doom 2 shotgun, despite being in free 3d space more like quake 3, so I guess the next question is did he rotate the sandwich 90 degrees first to maximize sandwich impact on a single target

ugh I know that's technically the case but everybody knows we're talking about any footlong hinge cut with a sticky sauce, that's the type always used in every major sandwich incident, between the double mass and way it won't fall apart like gouge-cut bread make clear it's designed for human targets

I'm sympathetic to it being the people who are most adamantly against it all who also aren't keeping up with it and so may wind too confident they can always tell based on things that were extremely obvious giveaway signals just 4-6 months ago

not sure if I'm following or if we're actually on the same page 🤔 what I was trying to say is unrelated to doing it for visibility, instead the issue where if a professional is asked to say/make something against their ethics* many will push back or leave *unless on fox news, different issues there

not my area of expertise, I can only comment about it from the perspective of a user since 2004, but the effect of FB "official" relationship status on millennials is something I'm surprised I don't hear come up more. newer social platforms don't have that, left room for situationships as youth norm
