Eclipse photo. I caught some solar flares. I through they were chromatic abortions at first due to the small sensor and long zoom of my camera.
The best part is that I got to watch the eclipse with my Grandmother.

@QOTO Is this instance blocking threads.net? I don't care one way or another, but I've noticed some people asking. Thanks.

No need to paraphrase. First paragraph says it all:
"Claims that artificial intelligence will help solve the climate crisis are misguided, with the technology instead likely cause rising energy use and turbocharge the spread of climate disinformation, a coalition of environmental groups has warned."

China: “Remove all VPNs”
Apple: “Sure thing”
China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”
China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”
Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”
EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”
I rebooted into Windows 11 for the first time in a while. I found the new Microsoft Copilot app. There is one good use for it.

The amount of misogynistic comments on my latest video is just off the charts.
You can doubt the new CEO for her skills, her vision, experience, or the companies she worked at. But saying « another woman CEO, Mozilla is dead » is just… wow.
It’s 2024, people. Seriously. WTF.
You can imagine my horror when I pulled a #record labeled "Harmonica Moods" out of a Tchaikovsky sleeve. Fortunately, "Romeo and Juliet" were right where they should be. #vinal #PhysicalMedia

I can't believe the fourth year of 2020 is coming to an end.

@kristinHenry I probably won't be able to participate in every prompt like I did last time. A lot has changed since then. Less free time.
But I could still do the background research. Good opportunity to learn about many artists and artistic genres.

Aha! There are actual prompts now for #Genuary2024
I'm still not sure how, or even if, I'll participate this time, but I'm mulling it about in my brain.

I gave up on #adventofcode a few days ago. It started to feel like a chore. However, I am looking forward to #genuary. I'm going to work through some of the prompts from last year to warmup on #p5.
Here is my sole completed prompt from last year. I finally fixed the glitch from the first frame. It turned out that I needed to move the camera before drawing the mobius strip.
