Time for a font nerd post:
Want an easy-to-read font for 2d use? I like the Atkinson Hyperlegible font by the Braille Institute. www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/

If I'm doing 3D fonts, I'm very partial to the Gorton family. Here's an excellent rundown of the font.

If @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com notices extra traffic to rotatingsandwiches.com, it's because the sandwiches were just featured on @desertbus.org's annual charity stream.
Check out both sites, they're great!

I've visited Seattle, Portland, and Chicago, and was extremely disappointed in each of them. Not a single burning building or riot anywhere in sight. All I got was effective public transportation and great culture.

This is the best explanation I've seen on the addictiveness of AI. Also, his comics (and the commentary below each panel) are definitely worth reading. Check out Leftover Soup and Forward Comic.
When you prompt an algorithmic generator for something, you submit a request, and maybe you get what you want, maybe you don't. If you don't, you can try again.
That's gambling.
Regardless of how the tech works, the psychological effect of using it is literally addictive.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

there’s an infomercial on tv for some brain pill for seniors called neuroq and i don’t think you turn this country around until you (1) shut down the fake supplements industry and (2) make everyone responsible eat all the remaining inventory on a livestream i can check in on any time i want

Why are WARC files so difficult to work with? So far:
- Install Python and ~50 dependencies/libraries.
- Extract the 38 part warc.gz file
- Combine to a single WARC
- Convert to a WACZ.
Then, finally, I'll be able to browse that saved website (in theory)

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

Both. It's both.

A highlight of my day was seeing Dan Olson @foldablehuman.bsky.social watching a roller coaster recording with a leaf blower in his face. Desert Bus for Hope is one of the most worthy fundraisers out there. Check them out and donate at @desertbus.org
