Photographer Builds Mini Kodak Kiosk That Actually Prints Photos

PetaPixel | Photography and Camera News @petapixel.com@web.brid.gy

A hand holds a color photo in front of a small yellow and blue Kodak-branded photo printer on a wooden table, with window blinds in the background.

Photographer James Warner, known for his excellent YouTube channel, snappiness, is always taking on new photography projects. They often involve taking things apart and putting them back together in new, exciting ways. Warner's latest project involves building a mini retro Kodak photo printing kiosk for his desk.

The lady who does my nails said something I've been thinking about all weekend

She said something along the lines of "Artists have so much power to move people politically. Its why they want to take our power by telling us AI can 'make art,' but AI can't move people."

She is a great artist imo

The irony of this photo — A border patrol 'agent' hiding behind a face covering & hat while scanning a commuter's face on the road.

I am taking the time to post this entire article to highlight how / uses emerging, -breaching tech to identify & target regular people– potentially undocumented individuals AND citizens exercising their 1st Amendment right to express their grievances about such behavior as they observe & record it.

So there's a stillMasking family in Ontario whose neighbours have been calling family services on them repeatedly. Every interview was been a nothingburger until they were interviewed by an antimasker who LIED ON THE FORM AND SAID THE KIDS HAD NO FRIENDS AND WERE DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED -- at which point the kids were immediately taken away. Somehow they managed to get the their kids back after only a few days (purportedly unheard of), but..

..yknow, in case you wanna know how parents still protecting their kids from sarscov2 are doing

Scientists have created a clock that estimates the time it would take before there was a crash in orbit if satellites couldn’t steer. The current time is 5 and a half days, and it’s only getting shorter. spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-synd

Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it. Now I may have to be without testosterone until this is proven, which may mean another 6 month wait to resee a gynaecologist via NHS. Hopefully my letters will suffice, but currently unclear.

I am beyond furious. Also, wow. Fuck living in this dystopia.

Keep every medical record you get, you're going to need it in this new terrifying timeline.

A screenshot of my medical records that says:

• Serum oestradiol level
• Summary:; ---- THIS IS GENERATED BY ANNIE (AI) ----; Consultant Gynaecologist advises against continued testosterone prescription due to associated risks.

"ÖPNV bleibt auch 2026 ein dickes Minusgeschäft

Im Wirtschaftsplan 2026 ist von einem Jahresdefizit in Höhe von 94,8 Millionen Euro die Rede; ein ähnlich hohes Minus wie schon 2024 und voraussichtlich 2025."

상나라 유적에서 고래 뼈가 발견되는데, 그 교역망에 대해서는 알려진 게 없다. 고래가 통채로 수입된 것인지 아니면 (점복용으로) 뼈만 전해진 것인지도 알 수 없다. 하지만 해안가와의 교류가 있었다는 점은 확실하다. 강을 통한 수운이었을까? 중국만이 아니라 전세계에서도 청동기 시대의 교역망은 여전히 수수께끼다.

Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

I really like the visuals and technology in this game. Stairs are seamlessly integrated: you just walk up and continue - no fade to black and jump to the "next level". The game is tile based and operates at classic 90° angles, but all movement is sub-tracked and therefore super smooth. When the robed figures slide from one tile to another, it's spooky. The shading and colouring of the walls gives the impression of curves where there are none.

体調不良起こしたので、会社休みます…
寒気が止まらない。
自己分析ですが
鼻炎から?
喉に痰が絡んだような状態になって溜まっているのかな。
で気持ち悪いし、体調不良?

素人判断このぐらいにして病院行きます…
熱は36.6℃

私は体調不良を起こしても熱は上がらんのか?

i'm thinking about writing a zine reference for CORS, XSS, CSP, CSRF, etc because all the acronyms feel so impossible to remember and it's so useful to know the basics

but.. what is all that stuff _called_? "web security" and "browser security" both feel way too broad. So far I've just been saying "you know, CSRF and CORS and XSS and stuff" to people

ai, capitalism

i don't really want to hear anymore about how ai "works for me" or "doesn't work for me" or anything like that

this is conceding the framing of the debate on totally self-centered terms and ignoring the massive societal effects of this hideous technology

this is how capitalism trains you to think and it's wild to see how many people still have these individualism brainworms even when they can clearly see the societal cost and it also impacts them specifically
