I think AI for research and development is a good thing. As a developer it has sped me up probably 8-10 times what I was doing before. However, I don't like it for the arts and humanities, I don't like the products that propose it as a friend or assistant, and I don't like it replacing real people.

I was 17 during this era and absolutely loved this style on the web. The small fonts, the random elements all over the place.

Spent time restoring my headlights using progressive sanding and buffing. They look like new again.

Can we go back to 2016 where we were all playing Pokemon Go and watching Spelling Bee competitions? Take me back to the simpler times.

Eaton Canyon after all the heavy rain we got this week. Lots of runoff but I don't see any major slides yet. #EatonCanyon

Walking around this area during snow was beautiful, atmospheric, and liminal. Once the snow melted it just became some crappy parking lot.

Well that's what the testing is for

I like going to Disneyland after work and leaving as late as possible after the park closes #Disneyland

You can still see Phos-Chek on the hills near JPL after the #EatonFire

You okay there, Genie? Seen last night at the #Lego store in Downtown Disney.

I'm glad she shared. I can't imagine what those moments were like near the end.

I deleted Instagram last night and experienced a surprising sadness. Mostly about missing out on pictures of my niece and nephew. But today multiple people text me and sent me pictures instead so that made me happy. And I'm happy to be off Instagram completely.

Fantastic app that helped me fully jump ship

I don't like the oversaturated look of the #Superman trailer. Hopefully the final look is different. It makes it look cheap.

I worked at Blockbuster from 2003 to 2007. It was the perfect job to have through summer. Pics are from 2003. Where's my Blockbuster crew at? #blockbuster #nostalgia

I think the use case is somewhat limited at this moment. I see it used for something like posting a comment that gets removed if the call fails. Or a picture upload. Things like that. A retry option would be nice.

I'm always interested in what kind of Point of Sale system huge places like Disney use.

@bonniegrrl.bsky.social Love that you are going back to old social media such as LiveJournal (don't currently have an account so commenting here)! I'm currently on the same path, working on my personal site to leave the tech giants behind!
