@lukem@hachyderm.ioOn another unspecified social media, I joined a photography challenge called '52 flickers'. I'm supposed to take and post one photograph per week for the entirety of 2026. No archives, no backups, no spares, no descriptions - just a photo of any topic taken on a given week.
I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.
Adding a thread here for backup purposes. Always tagging as [#]52flickers2026.
Here goes 👇

@cdarwin@c.imIt’s been 36 years since a mass femicide occurred at École Polytechnique in Montréal.
A man shot and killed 14 women because of their sex.
Described as “violent misogyny” by the federal government,
the killings have nonetheless never officially been called femicide in Canada
despite its global recognition as one of the most vivid examples of femicide in the western world.
Women and girls continue to be killed every two days somewhere in Canada, mostly by men. …

@compfu@mograph.socialThis video essay about the look of Sinners (which was shot on 70mm IMAX and Ultra Panavision) brought up something I hadn't realised until now: the large format gives you a wide field of view with the look of a telephoto lens! What that means is that you get shallow depth of field like in closeup shots with the framing of a wider angle lens.
Personal observation: there's also very little barrel lens distortion that usually comes with wide shots on 35mm.
@comex@mas.toI tried vibecoding again. Gave Opus 4.5 what I thought was a fairly hard assignment: generate a TypeScript compiler transform, using ts-patch, to let me mark functions with a magic decorator to make the compiler inline all calls to them.
It one-shot a basic implementation.
Getting to a higher-quality implementation required guidance from me – at times it had bad instincts – but when I gave guidance, it was competent at following it.
Overall, I'm spooked.

@mikeymikey@hachyderm.ioBeen playing Roots Devour (#Steam via CrossOver on #macOS
BE THE ELDRITCH HORROR YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE
It's pretty great, put in 8 hours so far.
The general gist of the game is strategic, puzzle-like reveal of map levels - capturing cards of creatures and humans, wrapping them in your blood sucking vines, and generally conquering all.
When you get stuck, spend some of the blood to open a card pack and get random helper tools, effects, and critters.
Sounds are superb and visuals are very 𝒜𝐸𝒮𝒯𝐻𝐸𝒯𝐼𝒞 - if you dig Cult of the Lamb or Darkest Dungeon, you'll probably enjoy it.
Only downside is that there's an occasional indicator that English is not the primary language of the game developers. Very rarely you can see untranslated Chinese text on-screen, one or two oddities (uncapitalized, punctuation slightly off). This is unfortunately probably why they're getting a little beat up in the Steam reviews.
Honestly, in my 8 hours so far, I've noticed it like 3? 4? times tops so far. The game is so very much my jam, it really hasn't bothered me.
Some people are also reviewing it as "too linear" - they definitely gave up way too early. There are SECRETS, side areas, choices you can make, intentionally difficult areas that will take some thinking to unlock, etc.
Currently 10% off right now, give it a shot!
