"Hey, check out this article on FFXI private server modding!" Oh. Well. That's a shame.

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it).

In case anyone was curious, no, bluesky did not remove the "offending" gif as of a few minutes ago. Barely had to scroll to find it, too.

bluesky gif search results for "crying child pool" with the image in question circled because bluesky didn't remove it even though it supposedly "violates community guidelines"

That's more like it. Might throw more attempts at it later but I'm satisfied with this for now.

When GenAI gets repeatedly shoved in my face at my job I sometimes go back and review @authorblu.es' fantastic AI policy overview he put together for his students. I was pleased to see it's the top search on DuckDuckGo if you put in the right search terms.

Day 2 lunch - I got the biggest fattest burger I could from BurgerFi then had a nice sit in front of the Gaylord before the rain kicked back up. (I ordered the fries and onion rings combo but they forgot the onion rings......)

Day 1 lunch - Mason's by the waterfront. Legit spot for lobster rolls; this was really good. They also offered me extra crackers and tabasco for my chowder without me asking. Glad I went with CT style 'cause it was nice and hot and buttery.
