Listening to Macbreak Weekly and Alex Lyndsay is talking about how the next generation of artists will be people who know how to use generative AI tools to get exactly what they want from images based on their mastery of the models. I’m like, Sing it louder for the people in the back, Alex!
💻 One of the under reported new apple features, perhaps because Macs aren’t the press magnets of Apple, is iPhone mirroring. So handy to keep up with notifications on my phone without having to switch devices.
I discovered there was a sequel to this released a couple years ago and I missed it because I was so checked out. Rereading this one before moving on to Wayward. Currently reading: Wanderers by Chuck Wendig 📚

🧑🏼🦯🧑🏼🦯 Told ChatGPT that I am totally blind. Ever since then, any image it generates for me has alt text automatically with it. This is just too cool!
For all intents.and purposes, this is my Facebook like existence. @changeling@starshipchangeling.net is my Twitter like existence.
After this morning, I’m going on an annual iTunes subscription purge. Just did and saved myself from spending $600 this month alone–I shit you not. I give myself things for Christmas and forget to send them back sometimes.

I decided to take advantage of my new AI skills to update this bit of fan art from last year.

The rest of them were just there to get me through those doors…

😸 Changeling used to sing to me when I was small because I was rescued from a kill shelter and scared much of the time. Now, any human who wants to be my friend had better sing Mary Had a little lamb, or I will never trust them.
Everyone go boAll server admins should go block social.jonathancandler.com for spouting white nationalist stuff. It’s one person on their own instance, so just hit block on the whole thing. #Fedeblock #DoTheRightThing
In the world of successful advocacy stories, micro.blog now has keyboard shortcuts for navigating the timeline similar to X or Facebook. This resulted from UI changes breaking the voiceOver experience and the developer’s willingness to listen to suggestions.
😸 I found changeling’s business cards because I like playing with paper. I made Changeling play 200 pickup as I managed to get the box of new business cards.
For those of you talking about signing up for #BlueSky and not sure how to manage yet another social media service, give Open Vibe a look.
