The year is 2030 and thanks to the previous decade of ongoing abuse of "AI" scrapers, most internet services large and small have resorted to creating private VPNs you must join before accessing the service (with keys that can be revoked when abuse is detected). Browsers have been modified and adapted to integrate VPN client libraries and help users manage all their different VPN keys. Chrome and Edge browsers are blocked due to their owner's efforts to evade the VPN controls.

"The commuter" October 2024, Istanbul, Turkey

This is easily one of my favorite photographs from 2024. Busy sidewalk, and just a snail in the middle of morning rush, on its way like everyone else.

Saw two interesting pieces of feedback (not shared with me, but rather about me, but I’ll take it as feedback). One was that I need to mind my own business, and the other was that I seem to make people pass a “purity test” of some sort.

Having a personal standard that condemns hate in all forms, from simple bigotry to Nazism, is not a “purity test”. It’s being a decent person.

And “mind your own business” is usually what people say when they hear things that make them uncomfortable.
