Hi NZ fediverse, let's see if we can get this iphone back to its owner.

Found after the Christmas in the Park concert at Bowl of Brooklands, New Plymouth, early on 22nd December (so probably lost on the evening of the 21st)

My semi-regular rant...

I have auto-play video turned off. Stop with the F*****G games with HTML5 and scripts to get around that. I have nuked sites that don't respect my wishes there. If I am interested in watching I will click play.

Stop doing those popups saying I have an ad blocker and you won't show your site unless I turn it off.
1. How do you know I am running a blocker unless you are running intrusive scripts?
2. F OFF I will ignore you and go elsewhere.
3. Some of your competitors repsect me and show generic ads. Guess who gets my business?
4. MY MACHINE MY RULES FOR ACCESS!

If you use AI for article generation I nuke the site. Most of the crap is almost unreadable, spews fake information and makes the jobs of legit writers impossible for earning a living. Good articles takes time, effort, good editing and the writers verifying their sources and facts.

Another of my wifeโ€™s #watercolor winterscapes.

A small watercolor painting of a snowy landscape at night: evergreen trees stand in a white field beneath a deep blue, star-speckled sky, with a pale crescent moon hanging above.

It seems Imgur, has quietly dropped API support for new users. If you already have an API key, it still works, but no new keys can be generated. So it is more likely to see some errors in Imgur uploading regardless of the Flameshot version. Be aware that this has nothing to do with Flameshot.

There's a thing that happens with educators that you might not know.

Often, an educator will want to learn how to do something, not because they think it's a good idea, but specifically because understanding the thing is a core part of the job.

So when they ask "how do I do _____?" or "how do they do _____?" it isn't endorsement, nor desire. Not necessarily.

This is one of those "nuance" things we keep hearing so much about.

I have another video today! It's about old-school video projectors and how amazing they were.

Seriously, not only is it almost unbelievable that this even works, but it's doing full HD video with incredibly good image quality. It's also a royal PITA.

A short comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. A large, anthropomorphic red dragon, dressed in a suit and tie, lies on the couch in the office of a small, anthropomorphic unicorn therapist. The therapist sits in a chair, listening to the dragon. The dรฉcor is cosy and the dragon is making large, angry gestures while the unicorn listens attentively and stoically with his notepad on his lap.
> Dragon:  I mean, I don't get it. I'm a billionaire, I own the press... So why doesn't everyone like me?

Panel 2. The unicorn therapist launches into a possible explanation, surprising the dragon.
> Unicorn Therapist: Maybe it's because everything about you is anger, control, deceit, and intimidation?

Panel 3. The dragon looks shocked and angry with the unicorn, who is unfortunately too focused on his notepad to see the dragon's reaction.
> Unicorn Therapist: In our jargon, we call that being a toxic little piece of... 

Panel 4. The small unicorn sits alone in his office, which is now burnt and blackened, suggesting it was ravaged by a torrent of flames from the Dragon patient.
> Unicorn Therapist: Note to self: try a softer approach next time. (in small) and buy an extinguisher.
