see *this* is why you use alt-text, so people get description, context, knowledge, and the phrase "them girls is hosses"

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

If Mamdani wins, there's going to be one rich dude who actually leaves, and it will have no impact on the city and no one who lives there will care, but there will be a dozen profiles written about him
Too many people speak far too slowly for playback speed to now be a "premium feature" on YouTube.

But on a serious note, isn't this an accessibility/disability issue too?

Greed abounds. Can't have anything nice 🫥

I feel like I'm watching accessibility maturity at companies actively regressing.

It's a wildly sharp contrast between now and 2020, when many companies were so openly pro accessibility and DEI.

The short term is rough, but I think the long term remains hopeful.

Most people want accessibility 🤷‍♀️
YouTube really put playback speed behind a paywall.

If you want to listen to anything on 1.25x speed for example, you need to be paying for YouTube Premium 😒

Basic standard features are getting price tags once again. Yay.

MySpace still has a lil place in my heart. Had a lot of us learning basic HTML coding and web design for the love of the game.

I don't even know how long I've had this reaction pic but I do remember everyone who visited my page had to listen to 3oh!3 because I hid the stop button
I need to read up on why the hell Queens is set up like this.

My whole life I just accepted Queens had Drives, Streets, Roads, Lanes, Plazas all with the same number for reasons

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

If the phrase `open source` means nothing to you
imagine if your favorite app worked like Wikipedia and anyone could come along and edit it

that's how the code for Blacksky works
anyone can edit it

it's also how our docs work; if you think something's missing or could be improved, change it

Part of why I dream of owning a freestanding home is knowing I have the option to have like 3-4 12ft skeletons on the front lawn year round.

Christmas Skellies, Valentine Skellies, Easter Skellies, Carnival Skellies, Summer Skellies, Skellies playing Spades, Skellies having tea...😌
All the 12ft skeletons are 50% off. You know what to do.
What does YouTube/Google get out of automatically "upgrading" the quality of videos? Are they just doing that to continue training Google Gemini or what?

What does that mean for older or historical videos? Or vaporwave/things with intentional VHS filters??

It sucks that "Luddite" is presently a derogatory term for people who are afraid of any new tech and changes when the original Luddites were protesting against shitty working conditions for industrial workers, the denigration of skilled labor, & overall exploitation.

The drain scene with Lilly is another one that isn't eerie enough - felt too rushed.

Gotta let the story play out but the pacing and build up just aren't there yet.

For me, anything to do with Derry, Maine should have a looming sense of dread

The opening scene of #WelcomeToDerry was going well for me until that critter pulled up. It sucked all of the tension out of the moment

software has spent the last 20 years getting worse by people "utilizing best practices" spewing their garbage idiot code into the world and somehow motherfuckers think the statistical bullshit machine trained on a world of terrible software will magically improve software development are you high

I think it's important for those of you who don't live in NYC to know this, lol.
Cuomo doesn't live in NYC now.
Task on HBO is a solid miniseries EXCEPT for the double agent storyline.

That got wobbly towards the end and I just wanted it to be over.

The show could have ended on episode 6 and I wouldn't have been mad.
