Chicken (alive chicken) and space aficionado

My boyfriend & I speak & text every day constantly but haven’t actually seen each other much the last few weeks (his dad had an operation) - and Instagram is THRILLED, it has unloaded every single break-up & start your life again reel all over the algorithm

Listen I know obv Jurassic Park & Event Horizons as the big choices to watch in his honour but please may I put forward the The Dish with Sam Neill - it is just so lovely and he’s so great in it

If a dude you’re friends with turns out was abusing someone you love, but in ways that are all technically legal. All relentless psychological abuse. What happens if you have to remain friends with him? Maybe he’s the dad of your daughter’s best friend etc. How do you balance this moving forward

You can see the evil wafting over Affinity. Free! Totally free! But owned by Canva. Who spent half a billion to buy it. Who plan to IPO which already got delayed. It’s not just to steal users from Adobe, it’s to destroy the market to prevent serious competitors at a time we need them the most

if you do some assault & abuse in an industry. That you used the industry to do. That you even admitted to. And for some reason you are not in prison It seems an easy rule that yeah you can’t work in that industry any more

Ok I’m going to do it, I’m installing Gimp and then immediately installing PhotoGimp which promises all the beauty of Photoshop with none of the Adobe industry betrayal add-ons

Though I rather enjoy Affinity Publisher, I’m very tired of its mirror muscles only brother Affinity Photo. It’s a McDonald’s of photo editing, like this is going to have to do if there really is nothing else. Obv 🚫Adobe🚫 so what else. Gimp with a freshly peeled Photoshop skin?

Hacks and The Comeback make the dehumanisation of AI into the big plot points of their final seasons. They’re right to. Every production event etc people talk about fucking AI. it’s exhausting. But I wonder that it’s like Covid in shows ~2022/3. The reaction was exhaustion - people wanted escapism

The issue is the money being raised for tech start-up companies based on some AI glumph is insane, even though pitches are unsustainable, eg entirely dependent on OpenAI / no deep knowledge eg. film. Conversations in those rooms either at best are oblivious to this reaction, at worst encourage it

I find this really interesting. Even if you don't despise genAI as much as I do, if you're making art, it doesn't matter how nuanced you think the conversation is, and these hosts are 100% right -- the medium is the message and if you touch genAI, you're cooked.

I’m an amazing Story Editor. I will immediately find and fix all the issues with your script. 7 years experience essentially under the table. Mates etc. Two pro credits I should have had that could have helped me was Big Finish who refused & then ghosted me.

I technically have experience as a Lead Editor, but they refused to upgrade my title so they could keep paying me Assistant Editor wages. To add insult to injury, I can't prove I've done Lead Editor work in a professional setting because they refused to update my title.

This is actually amazing. I don’t really find people via Google any more. I’m looking directly at Patreons, and (urgh) LinkedIn/Instagram or inside YouTube although that is Google. And I haven’t used Google Search for anything for about a year now I think, I use Startpage or Kagi

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.
