People have been able to do anything they want to copies of things uploaded to the internet for ages.

People, yes. The possibility of one person using a copyrighted work that I uploaded to the internet is very different in scope to that of a corporation with billions of dollars in funding using the same work to generate a product that automates the creation of similar such works.

I was a Flickr member for many years. It was the only photo sharing website that emphasized the art of photography and also felt like a real community where I actually made connections with and discovered like minded photographers. The focus was on the photography and it didn't play games to keep me locked into the platform (cough Instagram)

Nowadays, I have a locally hosted Immich instance. It's great as personal photo archive, but is missing the social features.

To be honest, with the advent of GenAI, I'm now reluctant to share my photos publicly because I don't like the feeling that my work will be slurped up for AI model training..

Origami Simulator 4 years ago

I'm a big fan of the RES (Rotational Erection System) work that Yoshinobu Miyamoto has been making lately with Origami Simulator. He builds the crease forms parametrically in Cuttle (CAD tool I'm building), and then can copy/paste into Origami Simulator to see the folded form:

30mph is often needed to keep up with cars in areas where the bike infrastructure is poor or nonexistent. If you can't maintain the speed of traffic, cars will try to pass creating a more dangerous situation for the ebike rider.

Virtual Forest 10 years ago

Yup. The Ricoh Theta S captures spherical panoramas. The VR terminology is just overselling it. Neat idea though. It would be cool if there was a sonic component.

Google Play 14 years ago

Gah.. The logo looks like something Microsoft would come up with.

I love Sublime, but I'm not really a fan of the new theme. It tends to be lighter in areas where the previous version was dark, especially in the tab-bar when using a theme like SpaceCadet.

Anyone know if it's possible to change the default tab background color for themes that don't support it?
