mastodon 4.7.3Home for all my paper, design, art, poetry and ephemera ramblings. Also a place I post bird, pups, and nature photos, with the occasional snark/rant. Expect typos, bad grammar, and generally a slapdash approach to things.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org I had to change all the settings on my Masto server to authenticated only after meta hammered it and tripled the media cache to 60gb over a weekend. For so long I was anti 'walled gardens' on the web, now I'm starting to believe they are essential. Not the corporate lock ins, more community allotments.

Rodeo lagoon was foggy and cool this morning, and a young river #otter popped up to see what me and the pups were up to

so the pups are confined to inside again, with monitored garden visits as this little killer is back in the hood.

@petergleick future ‘hopeful’ conspiracy: Musk and the other nazi bros, leave earth for their Mars colony and deliberately cause the Kessler catastrophe to stop anyone following them to the ‘chosen land’. They all perish, world goes on to address climate, inequity, greed and inhumanity - space and grift-tech is quickly forgotten about as the earth heals.
Another colorful garden pic.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @larand@appdot.net @cookiesinheaven@m.ai6yr.org Ben, just mention a genre that you don't know about and pretty sure no matter how mainstream or esoteric, they'll be plenty of folk with good suggestions.
I've been totally reawakened to metal since being on here (broad term but the sub genres are way to complicated for me) Also the sort of things people have shared have been amazing and totally not what i'd expected.
I am also going through a bit of a 'what music is out there, beyond my collection' phase
almost posted 5 snarky doom laden things in the last hour and each time I caught myself and thought better of it. I am more than a little proud of myself, think i’ll treat myself to a cookie

@quixote@mastodon.nz @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green I remember when 2050 was cast as the 'end of times' year. I think I first heard that from Shell! Was (for my sins) at some kind of strategic energy briefing from them in the 00s (edit: haha 90s I'm am old but not that old) and they were saying we were doomed 'unless we hand over all the energy decisions from governments to them' LOL

@roadskater@mastodon.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social correct, well at least we did. also drivers would call the front end of that the ‘tractor’. lots of variations lorrys based on size/weight
smallish -3.5 tonne often a ‘truck’ or even van.
the US ‘truck’ is always a ‘pickup’
lorry also ‘box truck/box van’ but bigger than the 3.5 tonne type (more like the big moving trucks)
even remember’wagon’ but much more colloquial
crazy #clouds at the beach tonight

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org been watching it there, mostly also because i can’t stand the fox commentary - Telemundob is in spanish and is way better, even though i don’t speak it. has all the energy and i’m fine following the game myself, don’t need bland pundits

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social being british ‘lorry’ is pretty much a catch all, but in my mind it’s a single unit not tractor + trailer

@NunavutBirder@mas.to I tried Darktable a little and it looks good. But the effort to migrate also feels huge - have about 100k pic. Also it feels way more ‘fiddly’ 5 of 6 actions to do things that are 2/3 in lightroom for me. I hit a few UI issues which put me off. I want to badly get off lightroom but am feeling too daunted by switching to darktable, unless I could find a month to do it carefully and learn all the new ways of doing things

Lovely book/object from Glen Duncan

i do love a kelp crab shell #crabs
I saw the Claude design piece, and it so reminded my of Flying Logos but without the self awareness.
I really hate this shit (genAI) not Pixar, always about the style - zero thought process or consideration, just more and more empty vapid crap being poured out in to the digital ether.
It will never say "no, we couldn't do that [because you shouldn’t]"

@DrPen@mastodon.social was reading Babel by RF Kuang and it reminded me about the luddites, so started reading up to remind myself. learnt a tiny bit at school but it missed the organizing the discipline and extent.
i think neoluddites are going to be a real movement
