Yep agree, so many well considered products, but to bookend it all with this shitty spam is such a bummer.

#Enshittifcation is alive and well at #IKEA, this self service checkout sprung 4 separate popups on me 😡

One day someone is going to agree with me that the best solution to a11y colour contrast is to simply give yourself over, completely, to MIX-BLEND-MODE:DIFFERENCE

eep! my bad...

That control is rad! But what's being proposed is a control that will cut out any image post that doesn't have alt text added (and is, by a definition, low quality) from our feeds.

That's an excellent idea! In the short term it would def work, and in the long term it would provide an incentive for high quality posters who did get skipped to write alt text.

I have spent all day making this completely ridiculous low-poly giraffe in (kind of) the shape of an N 🦒✌️🫠

Adding some more contrast to the edges of those blinding white letters. This is from a phone breakpoint when the letters stack on top of each other.

lol I have to fix that terrible giraffe 🫠

Some new interactive letters for my (soon to be) site. These solid white wireframes have come out of my brain squished together from 80s hi-fi manuals, a post-punk(?) album with arch windows I can't remember the name of... and bits lifted from Ettore Sottsass & Wim Crouwel too

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

We are losing our greats. RIP Jon. He was a good one. :)

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Springwood Conservation Park by corinrules Sitting on a bench in Springwood Conservation Park, Queensland, Australia, recording the sounds of birds and buzzing insects with my iPhone 16 Plus.

Oh and as a bit of an addendum I sat on a bench and recorded 5mins of the sound of birds and insects (and probably some traffic in the distance) and uploaded it freesound.org/people/corin...

Didactic panel shortened to fit al text letter count - Planctons Stringybark (Eucalyptus planchoniana) PARK HISTORY from VISION..... Golden Candlestick * (Banksia collina) ....to REALITY' The gazettal of the Springwood Environmental Park was the end result of years of concerted effort by individuals, community groups and the Logan City Council. The area was originally a Quarry reserve. In 1979 the land was divided into an Education and Recreation reserve under ' the Education Department and a Park and Recreation Reserve under Logan City Council. The Queensland Electricity Commission held an Electrical Works reserve. In 1973, legislation was enacted which provided for the creation of Environmental Parks. This area became the subject of interest from a variety of groups. On one hand it was proposed to develop the area for housing. On the other, many individuals, groups and the Council, became increasingly determined that the area should be preserved. In the 1980's a series of actions developed the proposal for reservation. Community groups were formed and these made repeated representations. The Council in turn placed these before the Government. Individuals and groups conducted surveys, prepared draft management plans, carried out investigations and above all developed community awareness and action. Council supported these actions by commissioning the preparation of Management Plans, by negotiation with the Education and Electricity authorities and by continuing to press for declaration. Finally, in December 1990, the area was declared an Environmental Park under the trusteeship of the Logan City Council. Since gazettal the Council has prepared a Management Plan, developed tracks and signs, encouraged proper public use and support, and restored and protected the area. With continued public support, the park will achieve its vision. LOGAN CITY COUNCIL

At the base of the gorge and the main entrance (that I didn’t arrive through) I found this cool little information hut with a bunch of useful info about the park.

At one point the track drops steeply down the side of the george via these steps. They obviously provide such an athletic challenge going up that commercial fitness groups have been banned!

I saw a bunch of animals but alas I was only really able to catch blurry digital zoomed in pictures of them. Squint at the mess of pixels to see an Eastern Water Dragon, A Pretty Faced Wallaby, a Torresian Crow, and some kind of Dove.

The titular gorge from the gorge discovery circuit

Brackish water collected in smooth rocks in the gorge

A series of bridges and stairs built to provide safe access up the gorge

Ferns everywhere and a tiny little aqueduct to direct water across this track.

I mostly followed the George Discovery Circuit. It was very dry when I went through but when it’s raining I imagine this place fills up with a lot of water. Many sections of the track have tiny aqueducts built across them!

A didactic panel in bushland with illustrations of a man starting a controlled burn and a small bird Text reads - Fire, friend or foe? Most Australian forests need regular fires to replenish nutrients, germinate seed and continue the cycle of life. However, if fire is too frequent or intense, it causes long term damage to plants and animals.

Surprised to find that this was a largely sealed track through a suburban forest. Not sure if this particular concrete was laid this haphazardly or if it was so old that this tree has expanded from within?
