Agree with you here. Another angle it doesn't address: are post numbers alone a good proxy for usage? I can say anecdotally I find myself posting a lot less on here than I did on Twitter, but I log in just as much to read/consume, perhaps more because I find the quality/noise ratio much better here

Work from Home setup: behind my computer desk is three guitars: an old regal acoustic, a custom Ibanez S470, and a Gibson Les Paul (autographed by Les Paul). There is also a Marshall DSL40 amplifier, with a little plushy from marketing at work sitting on top
The walls themselves are also interesting. Three walls are shown, one made of drywall, with brick and glass on one side, and wood paneling on the other
Its also kind of generally messy

i can maybe get away with finding a used lens of the sort i want for about $500-600
quality star tracking mounts for amateur astrophotographers run $1000 - $3000 ๐ชฆ
oh by the way i also want a long lens for nature photography, the guitar i want is $1500, i'd love to build a cold-smoker enclosure...

i'm simultaneously still very proud of this shot, and really bothered by the subtle streaks. makes me want better equipment (a wide angle lens with a faster aperature and a star tracking mount), alas.... its expensive to have so many amateur hobbies and interests

A picture of the night sky. At the bottom of the picture is the dark outline of the horizon punctuated by tall evergreen trees. At the center of the sky, surrounded by many stars, the Milky Way can clearly be seen
Took my family for a week at a cabin in the mountains and took the best night sky photo I've taken yet.

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvationโthe Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.
In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and โglobalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

It uses Google (or your choice of search engine eg Bing) though a proxy, but to say it IS google isn't correct.
That said, the fact that System1 (an AdTech company) acquired them is definitely concerning
