Don't worry it'll work this time.

I wonder when we'll be concerned about the other Middle Eastern c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶y̶ area-with-military harboring 90-400 nuclear warheads that the IAEA is barred from inspecting.

It seems like all the "I'm a lifelong Democrat but let me tell you why bombing schools is a good thing" people are deciding to open a social media account today.

Like I said, it discourages posting.

Threads and X have this functionality. I don't think it's too unreasonable to request it here.

The chair I use is actually a freebie "with no obligations or strings attached".

Almost 2 years later, I get an email at least once a month warning me that I haven't made my post quota for the chair with instructions and scripts for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

I always respond with "lol"

Yep. Some of them pipe into general LLM APIs.
But it's frustrating that Bluesky hasn't given users the option to at least enable this with their own API key.

Some of them work great for images!
YMMV depending on the service/model.

Also, for users who don't know already, there are Chrome/Firefox add-ons that do this, usually within the scope of free API limits.

I understand that it's frustrating, but asking users to type out the paragraphs from casual screengrabs is just going to result in them not sharing the screengrabs. 🫠

AI analyzes my videos and generates emails trying to associate my content with gaming chairs, but it can't transcribe a fucking screenshot of text.

Can we add this functionality so posts can be accessible for opt-in users, @bsky.app?

It's incredible to me that brands hire middleman marketing firms to use AI agents that make YouTube creators immediately hate them.

Maybe he should have listened to my advice about privacy hygiene.

Want more? Fine.

H-Alpha is a type of red wavelength emitted from a hydrogen atom when an electron falls from the atom's 3rd to 2nd lowest energy level. Fortunately, this happens all the time allowing us to see shit like this.

I stared at the sun for a long time today. These shots have slight variations of air pressure precisely tuned between 2 mirrors, allowing a very thin wavelength of H-alpha lightwaves through that allow the human eye to view a star's chromosphere.

You know, like, when a 3 year old has a tantrum, finally gets what they wanted, but then can't wind themselves down so they just whimper and scan the room for something to be upset about?

Finally got a shot of NGC 2237 that I'm happy with. 🥹
Origin + H-Alpha, 700 exposures over 2 nights.

If you're worried that consuming my content will put you on some type of list, let that motivate you to learn more and help this growing community innovate new ways to push back and protect each other.

Do this so you can live your life freely without fear of oppression for viewing a YouTube video.

Well firstly, I had no idea I could publish from Obsidian. 🤯

When police and ICE join forces, community surveillance becomes government surveillance.

2. Me not stacking thousands of shots to correct lens artifacts

Baby's first chromosphere pix. 🥹

Rather close friends! He's one of my favorite people on this planet

Random thing I learned this morning:

The word "caustic" comes from the Latin "causticus", which means "burning".

Oh I think we're gonna slam the wrong particles together and the Higgs Field is going to slip into its vacuum state.

If you don't know what I'm talking about don't look it up until you're ready to spend a few weeks with existential insomnia.

Enjoy those alien files. Just remember who your daddy is.

They asked me to be in this panel a few hours before it went live. 🫠

I dunno Tim. A lot can be learned from the wisdom of DickTrickle23897298

Imagine how much the world would suck if anyone listened to these people

Hot take for leftists:

The only progressive individuals worth ostracizing are the ones who are spreading negativity without putting in the work themselves.

It'd be nice to make an interactive flowchart of things that one can do instead of performative purity testing fellow progressives.
