New blog post, a bit of an addendum to my older microblogging protocols comparison post(s) until I do an updated version at some point. It mostly just goes over a handful of big events and shifts I've personally noticed since my last post in the summer of 2024.

@nate OK, I've read some of that. Worth reading, thanks. You may care to note that "effected" means "brought about", not the same as "affected" (changed a bit), and that "its" is a possessive meaning "of it", as distinct from the abbreviation "it's" (it is or it has). (|:-)

@RFPatterson Oops, thanks. I'd usually run my posts through Grammarly, but I've just been relying on spell check for some of my writing lately that doesn't catch that sort of stuff. Probably should get back in the habit it that. -

@sylvia @bookstardust @lefteristrip23 I went back to Pinterest this morning just out of curiosity since tuning my feed and... they're using gen AI for photos of clothes too now? What's the point?!?!!!!!!! Pinterest = truly dead to me

One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!
Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: https://donate.gnome.org
If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/
Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.

Sempre molto acuto, il buon Nardella. I suoi 20k euro al mese se li guadagna tutti, col sudore dei neuroni.
“Conte, attacca Trump. Per trattare con Putin la Ue nomini Merkel”. Parla Nardella https://www.ilfoglio.it/politica/2025/12/09/news/-conte-attacca-trump-per-trattare-con-putin-la-ue-nomini-merkel-parla-nardella-8412950/

#AIslop part 3: follow the money
Last night I did a reverse image search for that awful AI-generated illustration of NYC that I had seen on Pinterest... I couldn't find it anymore in my feed and I was curious to see where it was leading... what was the whole point behind it.
Well it lead to... a popular Etsy shop! Someone is creating city illustrations with generative AI and selling digital downloads of them. At 5 dollars a pop.
One of the reviewers wrote: "exactly what I was looking for!" 💀

@juergen Oh no, you misunderstood our conversation Jürgen. AE = After Effects, aka Adobe's motion graphics app. I didn't mean AI.
After Effects requires painstaking manual work... I spent a month laboring on the animations for the Fedi promo video... 8 hours a day every day.
I would never ever ever use an AI gen tool in my work. As a creative, I abhor them.
I felt bad giving money to Adobe because the company took a bad turn, values-wise

@tomjennings @crisps Google earth (not maps) is a virtual globe.
I think having a globe is very useful.
I've got a theory where if you are convinced that Greenland or Russia are much bigger than they really are, something bad can happen to all of us
