I had a great time at the #DrawingRoomSF tonight. They do this event every friday and I highly recommend checking it out if you are in #SanFrancisco. Lots of cool folks to chat to, art supplies to be used, and music to be enjoyed.

On September 9, 2020, #SanFrancisco experienced "the day of red sun" due to massive smoke from a series of nearby wildfires.
I was able to find some footage of Highway 101 on that day using the historic view option on Google Street View. Does anyone know of any other footage captured on Google Maps from that same day?

I've said it before, but now is a great time for companies to take clear stances about their plans for AI (scraping, etc). Users have been burned in the past by companies that tried to pivot to AI™ (or NFTs or whatever the next bubble is). Making a clear stance like Procreate did means I can feel good about continuing to invest my time in mastering their tools. https://mastodon.social/@docpop/112544269100940644

Procreate has taken a clear stance against adding #genAI to their art tools: https://procreate.com/ai
"We think machine learning is a compelling technology with a lot of merit, but the path generative AI is on is wrong for us. Built on a foundation of theft, the technology is steering us toward a barren future. "
#Procreate is the art tool that made digital art feel accessible to me and I'm glad I don't have to worry about ditching their software in a month or two because they pivoted to AI™

Today’s #SidewalkFriends sketch was inspired by some covered up graffiti on a nearby wall. I think I started off seeing Princess Bubblegum in my head, but it turned into another character.

Who is your favorite celebrity in the fediverse? They don't need to have a large number of followers, or even a Mastodon account, but I'd like to hear about some famous (or semi-famous) folks who are actively participating in federated social media.

2024-04-16 22:29:54

I'm sick of justifying ethical behavior in terms of profit. We use phrases like "adding alt-text brings more customers to your site" or "protected bike lanes increase revenue for local businesses."
You should add alt-text descriptions to images because it helps people.
We need to build bike lanes because it makes cities safer and more accessible.
Reduce carbon emissions because it's the right thing to do! Discussing these things in purely economic terms misses the point.

Last year, I filed a complaint with SF311 about the privately-owned planters that were being left on the south-east corner of Cesar Chavez and Valencia Street. There were 8 at that time. Now there are 27.
27 steel planters, tightly packed on one corner in SF.
Each planter weighs 2,000 pounds and appears to be glued to the sidewalk. Their only purpose is to remove public space from the public. It's despicable.

8am on a Wednesday and I’m out here counting bikes and cars and seeing which group runs red lights more. So far, three northbound cars have run this red, while only one cyclist has. I’m assuming those numbers will shift. Oh wait, make that six cars. This truck ran it while I was typing that last sentence (and two more ran it on a previous cycle).

Tonight, we played a few games of Nego, a strategy game with cats. The rules are very simple, but there are some nice twists. The design of the physical pieces was our favorite part.
The game was designed by Yuka Morii, a Japanese clay artist and Pokemon illustrator.
I enjoyed it, but my partner felt it was boring. We both felt the game sort of plays itself as spaces become more limited. We both like it as a piece of art, though. The game is available here: https://www.japantrendshop.com/nego-cats-board-game-p-8267.html

My partner isn't showing signs of infection, so I'm isolating myself to just one room in our apartment and hoping not to spread it. I'm watching documentaries, picking locks, and playing video games. Maybe I should draw some Sidewalk Friends sketches while I'm cooped up.

All of these snacks and small sriracha bottles are gifts for our friends.

#GimletMedia fans: Spotify is ending app-exclusivity for some of their biggest podcasts, like #Heavyweight. So if you stopped listening when they moved your favorite podcasts behind their walled garden, you can now enjoy them again in the podcasting app of your choice.
I recommend @npub1dvx…v87p for iOS & web https://overcast.fm/itunes1150800298/heavyweight
They used the original aired-on date when they added these back to the RSS feed, so you may have to scroll back a little bit to see the unheard episodes.

Saw this wild scene go down today and I wanted to share it with y’all. I was hanging out on 29th street when this self-driving car came to a stop in a nearby lane. I’m not sure if it was stuck or waiting for a pickup, but it sure was absolutely blocking traffic. After five minutes, a cyclist came by and yelled at the car to move. When it didn’t, he pulled out this “No Techno Fascists” sticker and slapped it on the window.

I found this cute feature on #Bandcamp today; type $4.20 and a 🌲 pops up.
I wonder what other cute easter eggs I may have missed there.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the fantastic art from "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot", which was 1st published by John Muir Productions in 1969.

@npub1jeq…jglm I contacted Atari SA a few weeks ago saying I loved their new releases & stewardship of the Atari brand, but I felt their shady attempts at releasing Atari-themed NFTs & cryptocurrency made them look like "scammers out to make a few bucks at the expense of their fans."
A week later, they removed the "web3" link from their masthead. They appear to still be working on AtariX, their vaguely web3 brand, but much less prominently. I hope they ditch the blockchain crap entirely.

@npub1mdk…aptk the most recent survey I can find was from April of this year https://www.sfcta.org/sites/default/files/2023-04/SFCTA_Board_TNCs%202020%20Report_2023-04-25.pdf
But that is probably still aggregating data from before Uber flipped their prices.
My hunch is that the price increase didn't lead to significantly less rides because a) people still need to get places and b) the mass transit & taxi alternatives haven't gotten any better since ride-shares cornered the market. I don't think people who got hooked on Uber are changing habits due to the price increase.

Early on, Uber & Lyft made bold claims that their ride-sharing services would a) decrease traffic and b) encourage most car owners to ditch their cars.
There is ample evidence that ride-sharing services have made traffic far worse. For example, these services led to a 40% rise in congestion in San Francisco. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Uber-Lyft-account-for-of-traffic-increase-in-13830608.php
What about the latter claim? Is there any evidence that people have ditched their cars in the 10 years that Uber has been around? If not, how can we check?

@npub1mdk…aptk oh wow! Metatext was my favorite iOS app for Mastodon. I liked it better than Ivory, but eventually had to move over because they stopped updating the app. I look forward to seeing what @npub1e49…agfm with this new version and I'll keep my eye out for Feditext in the app store.

Normalize posting photos of food on social media again. Posting “mundane” photos of food and coffee and things has gotten a bad rap, but I LOVE seeing what my friends are doing in their everyday lives and what makes them happy.

I had to swing by #DynamoDonuts on 24th St to try out the Lemon and Szechuan Peppercorn filled donut. It’s delicious. The peppercorns have a citrusy flavor that goes well with the sweet lemon filling. Very subtle though, I was hoping for a bit of tingliness from the hydroxy-alpha-sanshool in the peppercorns.

My favorite temporary tattoo maker is STILL sending marketing emails about their new "NFT tattoo" project and a local noodle shop is pivoting into an "AI-enhanced" concept kitchen and "No Code + AI" co-working space.
I never thought the future would be so incredibly lame.

Tomorrow I get to interview @npub1gkr…lcp0 about https://notes.art, his daily art project that uses the iOS Notes app to create cool and minimal art.
What questions would you like to know about his project?

@npub1343…2gyd I’ve never seen that before. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of a Jazzaphone at first glance, but with polyphonic keys.

#[0] tech media wants to keep writing about VC backed platforms because financing is more interesting to write about. It's why the Verge keeps writing fluff pieces like this for companies that offer no actual value https://www.theverge.com/23696466/bitcoin-crypto-lightning-network-lightspark-ceo-david-marcus
They'd rather keep writing about multi-million dollar startups because writing about contributor days and successful open source projects isn't going to drive the same pageviews.

Twitter has suspended WordPress.com's access to the Twitter API without warning. I believe this means that WP.com users can no longer auto-tweet their published posts from within their WP dashboard.
#[0], which owns both WordPress.com and #[1], are taking this as an opportunity to convince Twitter users to switch to Tumblr. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2023/04/04/why-twitter-isnt-working-with-your-blog-right-now/
