@bicmay this is similar to what Nilay Patel refers to as “Google Zero”. It started before Google added AI summaries, but its only going to get wirse from here https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/C69ymgIPBC3/?xmt=AQGzDXYtPSRvWXAy4Kj1E6Jsq9u7eGvm-QOLT3ZmjlfWsw

I love this video by Fabian Adhi today and wanted to share it around. Rad tricks and nice editing. I can't wait to see more of Fabian's vids.
Original video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Sr1TiSaQK/

A video of a young man in a wheelchair, doing yo-yo tricks. The video is shot in a really nice looking indoor mall and the video cuts and changes the location frequently, but it does it in a way where the tricks all line up and make sense. Even though the location changes, the moves are consistent. The yo-yo tricks are intricate string tricks with slack elements.

I posted a new tutorial for . This one explores some new concepts that happen when you blend responsive tricks with an unresponsive yo-yo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJo5XzyPqVw

Throwback time to cooking during the pandemic when I made my own tortillas and nopales tacos! 🌮 homemade and fresh corn tortillas are hard to beat

@romy this looks great. I love nopales and I'm really impressed by your tortilla skills.

@dadakopf neat, howdy! It's a small world. I really enjoyed reading that article about cave art and I'm glad I found it through this little interaction. Thanks for making that happen.

A dope new track by ShrapKnel, with fantastic production by #Controller7. I love this track and can't wait for the full album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osnP2Or9uAc #ShrapKnel #HipHop

@jalcine wow, I didn't know Saul Williams directed a movie. Thanks for sharing this!

i swear i spend more time putting roms on my analogue pocket than actually playing it.

docpop,
@docpop@mastodon.social avatar

@mitch I think the same thing about my Playdate. Ironically, if I bought a Pocket it would only be for Nanoloop. So I'd probably never install any roms.

Looking through some old posts on my site and noticing a bunch of twitter embeds are broken. It's probably due to Twitter.com forwarding to x.com, but it's oddly inconsistent. Some old tweets still display, others don't. Even stranger, I'm unable to see some of the tweets when I'm not signed in. For example, I can see this post if I'm logged in, but it says "this post has been deleted" when I'm incognito mode. https://x.com/DocPop/status/1531128882115424257 I'd be sad if that old content isn't viewable anymore.

docpop,
@docpop@mastodon.social avatar

@cybeardjm I should do that, but it would take so much work to go through all those posts, so I only fix them as I encounter them.
I actually paid for a service that automatically searches WP sites for Twitter embeds and replaces them with screenshots.... but the day I tried using it was the same day Twitter shut down it's API. Terrible timing on my part, I wish I had tried it a day earlier.

Furiosa was incredible. Probably my favorite of the Mad Max series. So freaking good.

docpop,
@docpop@mastodon.social avatar

@topher1kenobe honestly, I'm not positive I have seen the first one. They played a bunch of clips from it at the Alamo Drafthouse before Furiosa began. None of the clips looked familiar. I'm going to have to find a place to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnfAa9i9LYM

I’ve been in a funk lately, but I feel like I’ve really been crushing it today with my current project. I’m celebrating with a peanut butter jelly filled donut at Dynamo while working on the last two scripts. If I keep up the pace, I’m going to reward myself by playing Braid tonight.

@omegaman it was amazing! Rich as hell, but so worth it.

@luis_in_brief for a nice day like this I love the patios at Dynamo, Stable Cafe, Haus, and Senor Sisig. The parklets in front of Donaji and Sightglass (on 20th st) also get honorable mention. I'd love to hear of any I missed so I can add them to my rotation. Dynamo and Stable are tied for most scenic.

@evan hi Evan, I'd love to reach out to you about a project I'm working on. I sent a DM, but wanted to drop a public note here in case the DM went to spam or something.

A beautiful day in SF. I'm at Haus Coffee, editing scripts, enjoying the weather, and saying hi to the neighborhood kitty.

@pch do you need some? I can mail you a few if you'd like.

San Francisco's first on-street bike lane was painted on this day in 1971 on Lake Street. Neighbors turned out in full force at a community meeting to demand the city do something about reckless drivers. Stop signs, bike lanes, and other traffic calming measures were installed 6 months later.
https://sf.streetsblog.org/2011/05/27/san-franciscos-first-bike-lane-was-striped-40-years-ago-this-week

Photos of people pushing strollers, riding bikes, and walking on Lake Street. There is a stop sign nearby, which I believe was recently installed nearby. The photo is black and white and published in the 70s.

@katieonviolin the SF Small Business Coalition is spreading the myth that Valencia has the "first bike lane in San Francisco". The SFSBC are a driver-advocacy group fighting improvements to Slow Lake St, Valencia, 17th, and other streets. Their short-term goal is to have no bike lanes on Lake and revert the Valencia St bike lanes back to the unprotected (unenforced) lanes it used to have. So they are re-writing history to try to make fit their needs.

For @emf, I’m making Mastodot, which in theory prints toots that are hashtagged for the event!

@mattgrayyes @emf this is wonderful and reminds me of the experiments around the early days of Twitter. I love this energy.

I just submitted one of the most important proposals of my career. I hope the client likes it because I'm super excited about the opportunity.

Other than that, I'm still job hunting. I've had a series of interviews over the past month with four different companies. The future is still scary, but the number of folks who have reached out in the past few weeks has me feeling optimistic.

docpop,
@docpop@mastodon.social avatar

A follow up about this post... I can't announce too much yet, but my proposal was accepted and I'm so happy. I'm producing a series of videos about something I'm extremely passionate about and I can't wait to share them with all of you!
We start filming next week and I think the first video will be ready a few weeks later.

This is a short term gig though, so I'll be back on the job hunt in July if anyone knows of anything fun. I've been producing podcasts and content in the WordPress space for the past ten years and would love to somehow stay involved with promoting open source tech and the open web. I also have a history in game design and audio production for games. It'd be fun to work on game soundtracks again too.
