A real conversation I just had:

Coworker: I see we do X, but I read some docs and asked ChatGPT and they always seem to promote Y.

I hadn't ever heard of Y. Did a search through entirety of $tool's git history, and found no mention of it.

Me: That's an AI hallucination and is not a feature that actually exists. We follow the docs here: $link

I got the first batch of 25-year old disposable cameras in. We discovered it was our family trip to NYC to visit cousins and uncles.

The age of the film is apparent in all the photos, but we're so lucky to have them. My mom immediately broke down into tears. Time comes for us all.

Here are a few of the better ones:

When people say "#Mastodon is like early Twitter," they often refer to the absence of algorithmic amplification & ads or the functionality set. But what makes it like early #Twitter in my opinion, isn't that.

It's that the #Fediverse enables you to easily connect with real, awesome humans from anywhere: makers, celebrities, community leaders, top experts in their fields. Just tag them with an honest post and you'll have wonderful interactions such as this one. 🤩

📷 It’s official!!

VSCO, one of the apps/products I’ve been using for the longest time, is organizing a Photo Walk in Lisbon (https://www.instagram.com/p/DQj7JEzkSYt/). The first one outside the US. Guess who’s thrilled, honored, and a little nervous to be hosting it? Yup.

Care to join (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vsco-photo-walk-lisbon-tickets-1902712587569)? It would mean the world!

One of the (many) frustrating parts of trying to use free/open source tools for writing is that too many of them don’t realise that Oxford English spelling and British English spelling aren’t the same thing.

This is more common in the “trendier” corners of open source.
