Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "I can see this appears to be from a science fiction production, likely from the 1980s based on the visual style and futuristic costume design. The scene shows two people in conversation - one wearing a distinctive futuristic uniform with geometric patterns in dark and light colors with trim details.

As fun as the previous face was, I decided I wanted a bit more information displayed.
So I switched to this alternate ternary dial (also made by my friend).
The colours are all customisable. I have the minutes in a different colour to the hour so that I can locate them quickly at a glance, as I tend to decode them first (given I usually know the hour already).
This face can also show a step count but that is way too much effort to decode right now! 🤣

@… I think there’s also an aspect of differing opinions on what it means to “use” a feature.
If I have a community “profile” on steam, but I never think of it, never look at the friend requests, never willingly interact with it, I would say I do not use it. But the bean counters at Valve would presumably count me as part of their “social users” population.

Content warning: Loss and grief

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.

Here are my favourites from the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Award 2025. It's a fantastic selection this year, and free to see as always.
#art #portraits #painting

Mother, by Diego José Aznar Remón

Composed in muted tones, with momentary flashes of pink, this portrait of the artist's wife and son shows them on an unkempt bed, the exhausted mother asleep, the baby awake and looking directly at the viewer.  It is a moment of gorgeous intimacy.
The Echo - Self-Portrait, by Pippa Hale-Lynch

This self-portrait has the quality of a doubly exposed photograph, or one that has slipped and smudged in the process of development. Your eye slides over the detail, unable to lock on. Her face is pale, but with flushed cheeks, against a black background. The painting explores themes of solitude and grief stemming from the loss of her mother.
Ukrainian Girl, by Nelson Hernandez

A female figure with her back to the viewer stands at a window, through which shines a wintry light illuminating individual strands of her light blonde hair. Chilean artist Nelson Hernandez's spectral portrait of his Ukrainian friend, Kseniia, captures a brief moment in time: 'I was moved by her stillness as she gazed out the window. Suddenly, the drawing in her hoodie evoked in me a scene of war, a metaphor of her past and the burden she carries.'
Portrait of a Sculptor, by Dide

Blasting out bright red, the surface of Dide's portrait of the sculptor Laurence Edwards seems alive with a kinetic, electric energy. The sculpture sits in a brightly patterned armchair, looking directly at the viewer, with legs crossed and grubby boots prominent.  It explores 'the messy plaster-splattered existence of artists in their studios'.

And at least here in #NYC, I see evidence of people #reading all the time.
1 - Bookstores all over the city have customers at any time of day - they are often full, I struggle to get through to certain shelves at times.
2 - Every time I ride the subway i see someone reading a paper book on the train. Same thing with most times I go to any park or most cafes (at least ones where people sit alone).
3 - I have a friend who works at a major book #publisher and she’s been telling me all year that their sales are some of the best they’ve ever been. They’ve had multiple instances of needing to urgently order more books printed because of certain titles getting way more demand than expected. Those aren’t all celebrity memoirs or newest trendy fantasy either - it often happens with older titles, across genres.
4 - Nearly every acquaintance I have in the city (not just my friends) reads on a regular basis. I hear about books people have read and see them pulling books out all the time - most of the people I know read at least a book a month.

Yesterday I was enthusing to a friend about the "Breathe Easy" groups, and it's occurred to me I should enthuse here too!
"Do you enjoy going out and socialising, but feel cautious since the COVID-19 pandemic? Are you avoiding crowded and indoor venues? You are not alone! ...
"Breathe Easy Sheffield and Breathe Easy London are both small community groups hosting regular COVID-safer socials and other one-off events."
Recently I joined in for an online "watch the same event and then have a chat" with some folks from the Sheffield group, and enjoyed it. They also do in-person events about once a month, I just haven't been to one (yet) as it's out of town for me. Great to be able to swop useful info as well.

All of this, for people who barely know what any of these terms mean. What they experience is, “Two people you’ve never met have a beef you’ve never heard about over an issue you don’t know about, so your friend can’t see you.

Hey #Fedora community. A friend of a friend is looking for a Fedora10 pin and/or a sticker or some other merch with the Fedora10 branding on it. Can you help me with that? I know 2008 was ages ago:)

Reading Capital, I'm often tempted to skip the footnotes, but I'm glad I read the one savaging Jeremy Bentham just now. "This is the kind of nonsense with which the good man...has filled mountains of books. If I had the courage of my friend H. Heine, I would say that Mr. Jeremy is a genius of bourgeois stupidity." Marx would be such a shitposter today

Brutal similes
Using #AI is an ethical choice.
I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.

It should be noted that the Nacirema absolutely do kill those outside of their tribes during highly ritualized combat. In fact, they are known and feared by many surrounding tribes for their war-like nature. But the previously mentioned taboo seems to be against the execution of the ritual for either enslavement or sacrifice of outsiders for sacrifice or enslavement within tribal territory. Similarly, the Nacirema will not seize slaves during their war raids to bring within their territory. However, it does seem that the tribute system which the Nacirema impose on other tribes favors slavery.
The Elihcian people even tell stories of a chief who tried to end a slave-like practice among their people and refused tribute to the Nacirema. The chief of the Nacirema send emissaries to plot the murder of great chief of the Elihcian with the strongest nobles who were the largest slave owners. The war chief of the Elihcian, a friend of the Nacirema chief, then took over the tribe, enslaved many and paid even more tribute to the Nacirema chief. Many tribes to the South of the Nacirema have very similar stories.
Strangely, again, the Nacirema do not see themselves as war-like. Rather, they see themselves as peaceful. When talking about war and war-raids, they will even sometimes use a phase that means "maintaining" or "sustaining peace" to describe them.
Again, it seems to be the use of ritual that allows them to declare slavery and human sacrifice as "justice" and to declare war as "peace."

Wikipedia's been around since 2001.
Back then, it was just a dream. -- A wildly ambitious, probably impossible dream. -- But it came together piece by piece.
And for all that time, Wikipedia's stayed free. We do not run ads—we rely on the support of everyday readers.
Only 2% ever donate.
But that small group makes a big difference.

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.
Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.
