@mathowie i used to get this with photos i'd edit in darkroom that i shot on my mirrorless as 10bit hfs and imported onto my phone. the editing workflow would first try to expand the photo into the display p3 color space (the brightly saturated flash) and then when it would get saved, you'd have these errors that would cause them to look exactly like the photo you uploaded when they were re-shared via icloud or whatever as heifs because there were slight incompatibilities between how i assume some color data was re-mapped when re-saving (darkroom fixed this eventually). some old ones still show up messed up when resized down, but if you view them full size they show up ok.

gonna have to wait for some other year for totality but even this was pretty cool

fun seeing favicons changing overnight

just the absolute thirstiest platform

i finally hopped over to threads after not looking at it since launch day and, just want to be clear, i don’t think these people are lying but there are a ton of posts that are engagement-bait stories like “am i the oooonly one that does…” or what i will lovingly call “tall tales”

spotify sucks but also, i want to just call out that maybe the most minor and surprising personal growth development in my lifetime has been my complete 180 on "New Age"/Elevator Music from when i was a kid to now. like, i absolutely scorned anything pure-moods adjacent back then and now i absolutely seek it out because it feels like it's doing something genuinely novel in much the same way idm/jungle felt when i first heard them in the mid 90s

@litherland there’s an old errol morris piece on the nyt about a vermeer forgery that i always think about neutrality or timeless design which calls out how much anonymity is influenced by the norms and invisible themes of a time. because morris is so concerned with Truth as a concept its an interesting series to read because it’s so much about how we project ourselves onto these concepts than any objective qualities.

i think about these unhinged “cooking for my followers” videos all the time, just surreal commitment to the bit, but sadly they’re not recommended to me anymore despite seeking them out. oh well
