@npub1lmp…8vh0 I swear at first glance I thought that was a Calvin and Hobbes panel.
Guess I didn't realize his influences at the time. ☺️

T-Mobile stadium, Seattle, WA, USA. June 2024. Shot on Ilford HP5 400.
Got the negatives and RAW files back the other week. I really love the vibe of this one, and how it feels like it's from a book from the 1890s or so.
Included in the most recent newsletter, on returning to Analog.
Gotta keep this up. #photography

@npub1200…aqy2 quoted from Dixie Flatline, Neuromancer (1984), I see. 😁

@npub1eee…e209 @npub1ysg…uvq7 Hmmm. Why traveling though? Like, in the hotel room, perhaps, but maybe not in a public place?
I guess that's the question: Would you feel comfortable using it in a coffee shop?

@npub1200…aqy2 Sorry if I'm missing the context, but isn't "camp for men" just called #prowrestling ?

@npub1y4h…t26u Wait, did this come out before the band?
I mean Google and Bing will tell me anything now, but is anyone sure?

@npub10pr…qn7d Oh yeah, I've been bitten by the blind recommendation to millenials and GenZs before. 😳😬😬

@npub10pr…qn7d I was a teenager in the 80s, so probably all of them?
🤔
Yup, that one too.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Boosting for the book. "Information Society: a skeptical view" was a solid read when I was exposed to it in 2006, and maybe due for an anniversary edition? Highly recommended!

Note to self: when the social media feeds have you exasperated and you feel your blood pressure rising, be the change you want to see in the world.
There's no sense adding fuel to the fire, especially when the stupid burns.
Step away, and/or post something positive.
It'll be alright.
/Thanks, past me.

@npub1c9e…zhes This is like the most interesting thing I've seen today. Yup, even more than that #romanreigns post I made. Seriously cool. Thanks for sharing.

@npub1u27…3qfq Interesting. Not new, perhaps? A lot of the work by #meta on both #threads , IG #reels and elsewhere (I'm assuming) is in playing catch-up with #tiktok
#innovation is happening, just... elsewhere...

Took a hike yesterday up to the lovely Lake Agnes tea house in Lake Louise. Elevation 2135 m, gain on the hike ~395-435m. Amazing view.

@npub1u27…3qfq I covered this a bit with Episode 9 of the Implausipod, but it might not be 100% what you're looking for.
Are you looking for something like Castells, or have you considered that and are looking elsewhere?

@npub1u27…3qfq Fair question, I guess it depends on how Threads is counted amongst this, as Fediverse adjacent or not, but I think this still holds true with a qualifier or two.
The various posters of the #fediverse stats seemed to indicate the growth was a) significant and b) real, so ... close enough for a high level statement.

@npub1u27…3qfq
1. The Fediverse is the fastest growing segment of the internet, and is posed for explosive growth throughout 2023 and 2024.
2. The Fediverse allows greater organizational control of your presence and connections online.
3. The Fediverse is "Web 4.0"*, a re-imagining of the original purpose and potential of the internet.
Probably too wordy, but close enough.
* It's not, but again it kinda is?

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I can't wait for the follow-up in 100 years, where the teams of aspirants have to guess why the recently uncovered contestants lost...

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Experimental archaeology, I guess. "it's been five years, let's check in with Trevor and see how he's doing building the crenellations on the South Wall."
Alternatively, beer or winemaking, as the lead times and kinda long there too.

I guess #firefish is a better name than #calckey (cute logo anyways) as I thought the latter was a social version of #matlab
It seemed odd that the #fediverse needed a way to share equations, but I guessed things worked differently there. Who am I to judge anyways?
But I still have no idea what it does? Sharing your #firefox bookmarks or something? No idea.

@npub1psd…9sr7 That would probably be the car, but a modern take would likely see him recast as the misunderstood but edgy anti-hero, with a deep take on his backstory, including an encounter with a Zoroastrian named Vilma.
Think Todd Philips' 'Joker'.
'Blofeld', coming summer 2024, from EON2 Productions.

@npub137w…7g9r Thanks for this. Still trying to grok the Action Economy of #mastodon (and the #fediverse ) as a whole, and this is helpful. Appreciated.

@npub1qva…fuzz Fantastic article, thank you for sharing it. A really important reminder of the risks of enclosure on the internet, in an era where the CDDB lesson has been largely forgotten. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/05/outliving-outrage-public-interest-internet-cddb-story
Thank you for copying the comment on the POSSE framework too, as it provides a way to protect creators and still allow the sharing of info in the public forums that is integral to the web.
