You have to be patient with Apple TVās servers; they have limited experience with people actually watching the good shows they put on. (Yes, PLURIBUS is great.)

theres posts going around to turn off the "rude poster" moderation in your settings, and I decided to also set everything else to "warn" (bc bsky had them auto set to "hide") and ive encountered some posts with these "warnings" that were so innocuous they made me laugh out loud

I can't imagine what it's like to go through life being unable to spot AI images. They always stick out to me like bitmoji or bad stock photos.

I read this - it's a real personal-drama-turned-witch-house-A24-y horror novella and great to see Robert write his own stuff.

How are we all feeling about Affinity by Canva? IMHO the original Affinity Designer was my favourite app and Canva is definitely, uh, one of the websites of all time.

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what Iāll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.

I see people saying āI would use alt text but I keep forgetting!ā Thankfully,
@bsky.app
has a setting for that. - Go to Settings - Then Accessibility - Toggle āRequire alt text before postingā to the active setting. Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.

"Grokipedia pages... have no internal linking, have no photos... There is zero insight into how any of the articles were generated, how information was obtained and ordered, any edits that were made, no version history, etc." As a researcher, I'd say that all of the important parts are missing.

Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human

Every ad-supported website is facing the same dilemma. The value of display ads fell through the floor, so those websites plaster a higher volume of increasingly invasive ads to compensate. Which creates an environment where browsing the web without an adblocker feels like getting mugged.

One of the most freeing things as an artist is to look at, really LOOK at, Toriyama's work on Dragon Ball. Characters are wildly and regularly "off-model" from panel-to-panel, and it all just works. Don't get hung up on the little details like "Does this character look right?" and just draw.

I've said this before but something American entertainment often gets wrong about the Nazis is they're presented as German. A foreign threat. Nazi ideology convinced ordinary people to murder their neighbours. Or not care so much when the gestapo pulls those neighbours out of their homes.
