Lightweight nonsense toots, often tinged with 80s-flavoured music & #GenX nostalgia, retro computing, and more modern electronics.

I've been using a digital camera for many years and as a result have a lot of photographs.

How many is a lot?

$ ls -1R Pictures/ | wc -l

Yeah, lots.

Despite having spent lots of time trying to create meaningful directory names it's still not easy to always find a photo I'm looking for.

What would actually be a USEFUL tool for AI would be something that I could run locally which could examine each of my photos and build some kind of free-text database of their contents which I can then grep.

But as far as I can tell nothing along those lines exists. Why have AI tools spent so much time trying to create faked photos and not producing something actually valuable?

@losttourist Thanks for the motivation - I've been meaning to bring my https://x.com/rejectpetitions bot over to fedi and today is the day.
Rejected Petitions (@rejectpetitions) on X

Tweeting every UK Parliament petition rejection. A bot by @jonty.

It's that time again!

Yes, I am once more trawling the UK Government's Petitions website and looking through the list of those petitions that were rejected.

Happy birthday Emily. Good luck! #Gladiators

Right, let's do this.

#Gladiators final #iPlayer

“commander, the houthi’s have entered the war, and they appear to co-ordinating via symmetrically encrypted messages.”

“have we determined the algorithm?”

“yes, we believe its houthi and the blowfish.”

We might be in a theatre, we might be in the pub. It's hard to tell.

I won't be with the #Gladiators fans live for the final tonight as we have tickets for Jim Cartwright's "TWO" in Prescot.

Hoping it's a good show for those of you watching the telly, and a good show for us at the theatre!
