well shit, but what about the reverse? Does that mean a HDR equiped desktop to steam deck lcd would have issues if desktop is in HDR mode ?

Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model?

I always liked this sketchbook page. I don't remember exactly what these were for and it no longer matters.

Who's rocking the charts on Amazon? This girl!

My editor emailed last night to tell me THE GRAMMAR DAILY is both #1 and #2 in the Amazon Hot New Releases section for Grammar Reference because they separate the print book from the ebook.

Because the book contains 13 word-search puzzles, I favor the print version, but the ebook is great too if you don't actually want to do the puzzles and just want the tips.

Thanks for all the support! I hope you love the book. 😀

A Coder Considers the Waning Days of the Craft. “I suspect that non-programmers who are skeptical by nature, and who have seen ChatGPT turn out wooden prose or bogus facts, are still underestimating what’s happening.” newyorker.com/magazine/2023/11…

lol, Pivotal Labs and then Genius? Not exactly a canary in the coal mine. Better for the industry as a whole if those sort of folks find other careers.

The first paragraph causes concern that James (the author) is conflating computer programming (a specialist skill useful in special circumstances) and coding (a basic skill useful in so many fields that teaching it to your children, like your parents taught you reading, does indeed seem like a good idea). Coding encompasses writing HTML, wiki markup, search engine queries, configuration files, etc. — text generators based on machine learning and language models can indeed help with that.


If you strip away the noise, the Republican takeover of formerly progressive New College boils down to:

1. Paying themselves excessively high salaries from public money.

2. Purging people who might criticize them.

3. Giving campus restaurant and other business contracts to their friends.

4. Lowering academic standards so they can attract tuition payments from students too gullible to notice they’re just marks for a grift.

Starbucks faces walkout at hundreds of US stores


Our Starbucks Locations here were closed by Corporate rather than let the workers Unionize. I buy no Starbucks products any more and haven't for years.

Don't cross the Picket Lines... It's time Corporations Paid Workers Fairly

in reply to Joseph Teller

It's right out of Machiavelli. Schulz will burn the workforce to the ground, then the 'new' CEO takes the reins and inherits a beaten-down workforce where pro-union voices have been chased out the door. Profit!
in reply to Joseph Teller

It is an interesting conundrum when you are pro union but anti the business being unionized.
And then there's amazon.



@Carsten Raddatz Started playing: Ten Days, Ten Films. I've done this on Facebook. It's a lot of fun!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game.

I keep thinking back to this interview with Amjad Iraqi of +972, where he describes Palestinian possibilities not in terms of statehood but beyond any state, in terms of a justice and equality more basic than that: nytimes.com/2023/11/07/opinion…


Flash is a male Kestrel, utterly gorgeous, I photographed him at a rescue centre a few years ago, being so close to him was such a privilege, he of course was totally non plussed lol #Kestrel #Raptor #BirdOfPrey #RescueBird #RescueCentre #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Photography #PortraitPhotography #AltText


I photographed a few of these gorgeous beasts last Summer on the Isle of Mull, prepare for Coo shots filling your newsfeed!

OR - we could just stop eating meat, especially beef!
