The tragedy of AI goes beyond environmental and political to a far worse sin: turning interesting intelligent people into the biggest bores on the planet. Get a grip on yourselves fuck. This is how I used to post and it’s why I stopped.

Cursed doomscroll algorithm tech: shame detection. Track when a user urgently scrolls past a thirst trap ad to avoid being linger detected.

Related: either we had a bird strike or it’s time to replace the anemometer.

An incredible high wind gust was recorded on the Isle of May weather station as storm Éowyn hit #Fife in late January. An insane 98MPH top windspeed was recorded! 😱😱😱 The live dashboard for this station is available on my website's main page: www.fifeweather.co.uk

Where I live we now have got through the 10 weeks of the year with less than 9 hours of daylight and are approaching what I like to call the "rapidly lengthening daylight" period of the year. This #dataviz shows the weekly loss and gain of daylight at 51 degrees north.
