Addendum: By "free images" I mean they are marked as free to use, sometimes with or without attribution (though you should always attribute when you can). Not "if it's on the internet, it's free". And there are still TOO MANY people on Substack. Doing great writing/journalism, but for a Nazi bar. 😑

And I know, you were fooled. We were ALL fooled into thinking that our blogs have to have pictures and a certain length and keywords. You know who did that? Google. You know why? To make search worse for everyone. And now their Gemini "AI" used all that "SEO best practices" to steal your work.

Ooh, yay, you moved (or never started) your newsletter from Substack. Oh, boo, you're using generative AI images for your header and article images. The bar is in hell, y'all, it's so easy to rise above it, and people still don't. And it's disheartening. There are so many free images out there.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

I’m a firm believer that the best camera to use is the camera you have. I was at a local park recently and just used iPhone 13 and a clip-on macro lens to take some abstract shots of the tree bark. Work with what you have and make beautiful things.

100% this. Anytime someone says it hallucinates we need to say the software made an error, it output an incorrect response from a list of responses, etc. Just like how those articles about AI being dangerous are marketing for AI, saying it hallucinates (even as a criticism) is helping AI companies.

Wish list for all games: a "Delete Save" or multiple save slots option. I test games out first before streaming to see if they'll run, and if that opening intro or cutscene isn't replayable each time, then I gotta dig around to find out how to delete save files on my PC like... 🥺

Folks are contorting themselves to use normal channels, wishful thinking & minimization as praxis to address/ ignore the escalating threat of the fallen & overtaken US government makes me feel like I'm having an episode. The dedication to acting normal will kill us all.

charity one-shot, and that I'd like to see others do going forward - a thank you e-mail plus stats and links. I sent my players a thank you email, included how much the game made, links to the YT video, and links to art and some comments. 🧵[1/4]

It's so ridiculous. It feels like you're in a constant war with the platforms just to get people to see the things from you they *signed up* to see. The math simply isn't math'ing. And that's not even talking about trying to get someone on one platform to convert to another platform. Futile. 🥺

Looking for a colour-by-number mobile app. The two most popular are Happy Color and Zen Color. Over the past year or two, both have started using genAI images. Do you know of such an app that uses only real art, drawn by artists? (iOS) Thanks!

HOWEVER… if your only source for an image starts (and often ends) at Twitter/X? COME ON, MAN. A Google Lens (ugh, that name) search doesn't show it on any other site? Adding a date to the search brings back nothing? Nah, don't share, don't repost, just keep scrolling. 💖

Me: The Division on iPad is such a suboptimal experience. Who even asked for this? Also me: [plays The Division on iPad all night] Apparently I takes my The Division where I gets my The Division.
