It’s one of those things I’ve never talked about with other people, the most I’ve really been exposed to journal keeping in pop culture is Doug Funny. People don’t talk about their personal journals....
Yes, but it’s been more than 6 months since I’ve written in mine. I used it mainly to document my life and deal with mental issues. The past six months have been mostly daily struggles and ordinary life so I’ve had no incentive to go back and journal. I should fix this, grab the keyboard and resume!
In a study recently published in the journal Patterns, researchers demonstrate that computer algorithms often used to identify AI-generated text frequently falsely label articles written by non-native language speakers as being created by artificial intelligence. The researchers warn that the unreliable performance of these AI...
A lot of non-native speakers can show higher command of the language, because they took the time to study its rules. Just look at how people type on social media.
Two years after the Fairphone 4 and following the release of some audio products like the Fairbuds XL, the Dutch company is back with a new repairable phone: the Fairphone 5. It looks and feels a lot like the Fairphone 4, but it adds choice upgrades across the board, making it the most modular and also most modern-looking...
I posted 2 months ago that I have no burn in. Well, I do have some from the top info bar - clock, battery level, notifications. Seems like I had never noticed?
I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days....
Reddit’s street photography subreddit wasn’t that great to be honest. I’m trying to curate a street photography community here, but it is a slow process. !streetphotography .
But I agree, I still go back for some niche content like the editors’ subreddit.
I used to always try for the best outcome but with this have it seems like half of the time a failure also leads to an amazing consequence and story....
It always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I’ve read. I’ve tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it’s not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.
Pathfinder wrath of the righteous was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it. Wasteland 3 too. Can’t wait to play Baldur’s Gate 3, but it’s a bit expensive for me right now.
I didn’t even get that far. Hopped on the ship, explored a bit of the starting planet, then the closest bodies and couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I get that the idea is to research the mystery behind the ancient texts, but I wasn’t really feeling compelled to.
The photographs of Cristóbal Hara show an undiscovered Spain–far from the beautiful beaches and urban centers–full of completely normal people and animals (and all their peculiarities) that reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. At processions and markets, funerals and bullfights, or simply on the street, Hara positions...
… Towell’s work showed me that things didn’t need to be presented in neat, linear packages; you could breach the foundational tropes being taught in journalism school.

Though still relatively unknown outside Japan, Tomatsu, now 80, is arguably the greatest and most influential of all the photographers that emerged during his country’s turbulent postwar era. Over a span of 50 years, his work has reflected, often obliquely, the changes in Japanese culture as the American military presence and...
For me traveling has always been about discovering myself through other people’s eyes. The more you get to know how they think, live and survive, the more you get to know the real world never revealed to you. You realise the confinement that all these social standards have caused and you are a part of it. A part of a prison...
"The power of your Muse lies in her meaninglessness. Even the style can enslave you if you don’t run away from it, otherwise you are doomed for repetition. The only thing that counts is curiosity.

I’ve known this picture now for nearly 40 years. It was a sunny day in London in 1974 or 1975 when I walked into a second- hand bookshop on Great Russell Street, along from the British Museum, to find a copy of Tony Ray-Jones’s book A Day Off. It was marked down to £1.50 (the original price was £4.75), so I bought it....
I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?...
Yeah, I totally understand! It just really resonates with the idea of street photography, which is a lot of walking, a lot of looking, and a lot of appreciation of the little things, the little moments or visual accents that happen in daily life. You’re welcome to join in !streetphotography to check out what I’m talking about.
What software do you use to track your walks and map them out so thoroughly?
Thanks for the information and the discussion! I’ll definitely check the website out. I used to just manually map Google’s My Maps, but it got tedious.

Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else.

That’s another way to word it. As I said, enjoy what other people’s success looks like and be inspired by it. You can try to do the same things, if you find value in them, but just know that your success might look differently.
Gilden spent his time in Syracuse shooting at the sorts of mass gatherings he had been focusing on at the time – state fairs, fetes, picnics and parties – as well as working his way into the homes of the city’s blue-collar residents.

On 17 September 1951, while he was in Tokyo, Werner Bischof wrote a letter to his wife Rosellina, telling her: ‘The trees are quite exquisite in Japan.
