Anyone know how the Campbell soup company is doing? Are they enshittifying hard yet because of how old and big the brand is?

This isn’t all of the fediverse but it searches a good chunk of it

yeah I wouldn’t expect a new thing to immediately out of the gate be a magic bullet but this existing at all is pretty mind blowing and the future is gonna have some cool things

I’m aware of this

Oh well I’m talking about psychedelics

As far as I know the ones that exist are more like cousins, this is more like making these cousins not have the downsides and only the upsides

The idea is that its not like mix and matching the good and bad parts of those kinds of drugs but just getting the benefits like neuroplasticity and specific mood help or whatever else.

that is ddos in a nutshell, but people are speculating the causes

Do you have a better word to use for fixing being made into the product of consumerism?

Oh it absolutely is fixable, plenty of other options that work just not as ideally as one could hope, they are not yet fixed because it is a radical idea that few are aware of needing that is in need of a nice ecosystem. Fixing the addiction is turning into promoting personhood is the motto basically.

I suppose at this point I’d be leaning more towards those kind of ai first devices that have all sucked so far because nothing exists to make these kinds of systems work yet.

Oh yeah I’m past that point of being truly addicted by doing those kinds of things, basically comes down to removing what is noise for you as an individual and what is signal for you as an individual, to improve your experiences in a goal aligned way.

I’m more interested in how this can be taken further, that’s kinda my fault though my thoughts on this stuff is kinda scrambled right now. I’ve gone past the point of fixing specific apps and experiences and micro routines and wanting to see if there is a way to make things more fluid and cohesive because presently its a process of me identifying problems and fixing them with lots of up front work to find ways to do what I want, I’m find with the lots of up front work but at some point an approach becomes so comprehensive that it needs a system to be done better.

I think one barrier to making this happen is that experiences of services or apps are best had on the thing they provide so it makes less sense to have an agent compatibility layer in certain cases when its a priority to have the user experience in tact so it can only ever be an on or off access to certain apps sometimes.

Woops sorry about that, didn’t realize it was originals only.

Thanks for keeping the post up though!

Yeah it was probably a still from a video, the photo at the right time isnt even half of the tight variables to get a shot like this too. You’d have to take into account the time of year for the sun to be correctly placed at the location where the launch is happening, know what time the rocket is getting launched and if that lines up with the sun and if there is a suitable location to line up the two at the right angle.

Are you asking if I am ai or if the photo is ai lol?

The photo is not ai and neither am i

Solar filters will produce a different image than this because they filter out different wavelengths of light, to get similar images you need a hydrogen alpha filter, you definitely can look at the sun with that telescope though just keep in mind it could damage anything that is not made for passing light through, just as a precaution keep the mirrorless camera exposure setting a little on the lower side.

I have used my mirrorless camera on my telescope loads of times and have not damaged it yet as far as I know, I have only used a solar filter for it though. I once put my collimator laser thing in my eyepiece hole while it was a pointed at the sun and that was a mistake lol, it burnt a hole into the plastic target printing in no longer than 2 seconds, at least you will know if you have made a mistake rather quickly lol.

Here is what a solar filter picture will look like

This is not taken with sunlight hitting the lens it was taken with a hydrogen alpha filter which is also different from the usual solar filters, the hydrogen alpha filters black more wavelength and pass only this specific wavelength so despite the image seeming very detailed it is only because the intensity is high relative to it being just a small band of wavelength so there is no risk of damaging the camera sensor

He says he took it will a telescope but that looks to be about 750mm of zoom so it could probably be done with an extremely high aperture zoom lens too if you can give it a hydrogen alpha filter
