How can eight YouTubers create nearly identical HomeView commentary video thumbnails? Are they following a code of conduct? Is this AI suggestion slop? A few YouTubers go a little bit more imaginative than others, though. Fascinating. Found on Ben Thompson’s blog, in a blog post with an X.com embed1.
I don’t link directly to x.com by principle. ↩︎
Watched: Silo S2E3, Solo 📺 Resumed watching the Silo series on Apple TV. Season 2 seems less enticing, but the following seasons, especially season 4, received very positive reactions.
According to my Micro.blog timeline, it appears that Sunday is the busiest day for creative people and I love it. From vibe coding, blogging to photography, everyone seems happy creating and sharing their little digital bits to the universe. Keep it coming guys!
Watched: Dark Matter S1E4, The Corridor 📺 One thing that bothers me in this episode is the author’s obvious confusion between time & space travel and alternate universes at a specific time. I would prefer the latter. Maybe I’m missing something here.
Watched: Dark Matter S1E3, The Box 📺 Third episode. I’m slowly getting there and understanding what is happening. Looking forward to the next episode. I prefer one version of the main character over the other. But I’ll keep it to myself for now. 🤫🤐
Today, on a short errand walk, I came across a local computer repair shop. I don’t remember ever seeing this place, yet it appears they’ve been established for quite a while. They offer computer parts, mobile phone repair, new computers, and general IT services. The place was closed for the day, but it looked messy from the outside. I wonder how such a small business can survive these days. Maybe it’s a side hustle for something providing a more sustainable revenue source.
Rant on. The ugly and excruciating web in action, in full glory. Fuck it, Amateur Photographer. I’ll never come back to your shitty site again. Never ever. 😤. Rant off.
I’m running out of space on my Synology NAS. I’m wondering whether deleting the individual recorded segments that make up a full YouTube video is a good idea. I could also delete ScreenFlow projects and keep only the final videos. I’m not sure it’s a good idea. Thoughts?
Just finished watching: Widow’s Bay Season 1 📺 What a weird, unsettling ending. The table is set for season 2, I guess. Very unheaven storytelling.
Mark Carney on the U.S. Under Trump: ‘Sometimes, Its Signature Is Written in Pencil’:
Carney is rising to the moment and showing the rest of the world how to deal with the Trump administration. Trump is erratic, emotionally unstable, ignorant, and dishonest. Carney is consistent, steadfast, knowledgeable, and honest. The only correct way to deal with a con man is to cut him off and call him out for what he is.
Gruber, now you’re talking! For once, I fully agree. I’m proud of Carney; I’m proud to be Canadian. I’m proud to stand up.
