Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 21/09/2025After five years, you can actually, finally remove a chain-link fence in a photo in Google Photos on the pixel. I'm really impressed with the results! 020 2
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 28/08/2025Freeing up a bus operator to handle safety issues, encourage fare enforcement, and assist with accessibility needs would be great for many lines. Like how trams in Amsterdam have an attendant at the back who only handles those issues, rather than driving the tram. 200 2
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 27/08/2025I hope there’s room for AVs when they’re big Autonomous trains and busses are probably fine, right? 210 2
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 24/08/2025Love SF (and your photos of her), but pic #4 isn’t selling it to beat Nola 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 24/08/2025That’s what I’m saying; since we already tax other assets (like houses), even if they aren’t liquid, I don’t see a difference in taxing unrealized capital gains. Especially since you can use both your house and unrealized capital gains as collateral for a loan. 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 23/08/2025If you can use it as collateral for untaxed borrowing, shouldn’t it be taxed, just like any other asset you can borrow against? 2110 11
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 19/08/2025At least it seems like it makes sense. “Part of it – 5% was the figure given, though she now says that was only an approximation – was written using artificial intelligence. This, she tells me, comprised parts of the novel which are presented as a character’s exchange with ChatGPT” 120 2
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 10/08/2025The easiest way to see for yourself if a model is a glorified autocomplete it to ask it something relevant to spatial logic. Ask it how it might balance an egg, a textbook, a donut, and an automobile. If it were simply autocomplete, the answer wouldn’t make sense. 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 22/07/2025I think they’re saying “the public” as in nearby drivers and pedestrians that may be in the path of these cars. 3180 18
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 21/07/2025It’s exactly like Uber: the main company isn’t profitable and it propped up by VC funding, people that use it to do their jobs aren’t helped much by it, and consumers are ultimately doing harm to the climate by using it. 010 1

Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 03/07/2025Adobe’s new iOS camera app created by the creator of the Google Pixel’s cameras, Mark Levoy, brings me back a decade to an underpowered DSLR. Pics from (beta) Project Indigo are punchy & resolution is meh (most come out 9-12MP), so the result are photos you’d find in a “Summer NYC 2009” photo album 130 3
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 01/07/2025The worst part is that there’s no economic justification, like in past authoritarian regimes. Voting Hitler into power is taught as a response to hyperinflation and whatnot, but people voted for authoritarianism here because eggs were 10% more expensive?? 010 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 01/07/2025Now I don’t mean to claim that all of those trials were fair; the Eastern European trials of Nazis were more focused on popular catharsis, not upholding an ideal of justice. But I don’t think that’s what OP was referring to, they might have meant the Volksgerichtshof, for Nazi People’s Court. 110 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 01/07/2025Theresienstadt was notable because it served as a model for international visitors, including the Red Cross. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...encyclopedia.ushmm.orgTheresienstadtThe Theresienstadt camp/ghetto served multiple purposes during its existence from 1941-45 and had an important propaganda function for the Germans. Learn more. 100 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 01/07/2025The Nuremberg trials were fair trials of Nazis held by the Allied powers. In Western European countries, they were largely fair and had humane living conditions. These look like an inhumane internment or concentration camp that people will be sent to without due process or any real justice. 100 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 10/06/2025On Twitter (before my feed filled up with Nazis), I didn’t need to follow many people; just interacting with content I was interested in was enough to make a pretty great For You page. 100 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 09/06/2025I opened it once to find a previous bookmark and my For You feed, which used to be excellent, was full of actual Nazis and Trump supporters. I really can’t see why anyone stays there anymore. 110 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 09/06/2025Thanks! I put a lot of time and effort into making custom feeds, following the same people I followed before, etc., but I still can’t make a timeline that’s relevant like I used to have. I won’t be going back to Nazi-ville, but it’s still tough to use. 100 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 09/06/2025Absolutely; another major piece of this is that BlueSky’s algorithm isn’t as strong as Twitter’s used to be (before it was changed to just show Nazis) 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 09/06/2025I don’t care for a three-minute segment about a local law on a Sinclair-owned broadcaster immediately following their “terrorism alert” segments that just have news about brown people, not terrorists. You have a different standard than I do; that’s fine. 100 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 09/06/2025I’m nobody! But I still want to hear from people with up-close knowledge of what’s happening in my community, my state, and globally. 110 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025Sorry; you’re right! I was looking at his pinned post and not looking beyond that, since the last time I looked, he didn’t have an active account. 110 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025I left Twitter and haven’t looked back. But I understand why some people want to stay there, as explained above. 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025Oh, you’re right! Only the pinned post was showing up when I first clicked it and it seemed inactive. 000 0
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025The PM of New Zealand, my local senator Sean Ryan, etc. The sort of people who have insightful global or local commentary that Twitter’s algorithm would serve effectively, but BlueSky cannot. 510 5
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025Twitter’s algorithm was way better at surfacing those people. I sometimes want to see a post from the prime minister of New Zealand, but I don’t always want to follow them and see everything they share, if that makes sense? 210 2
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 08/06/2025I didn’t use Twitter because it was full of worthwhile discussions; the comment section has always been awful compared to Reddit. I used it because it served me timely posts from smart, connected people. BlueSky hasn’t brought those people over. 33281 33

Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 16/01/2025That’s functionally what universal healthcare is; everyone has access to healthcare they can afford. That’s something unavailable in much of the US, esp states without expanded Medicaid. Sometimes it’s incorrectly conflated with single payer (like the UK or Canada). 010 1
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 16/01/202595% of the population (not 95% of citizens, but 95% of people residing in the country) having basic health coverage is pretty close to universal. www.nhsa.gov.cn/art/2021/9/3... “Universal” isn’t only where everything is free, but where it’s accessible to all. Germany and France are good examples. 160 6
Evan 🇮🇹🇺🇸 @roden.works · 10/01/2025Presumably it’s the richest 80,000,000 people, which is still quite a few. 030 3
