Meta AI app has launched "Vibes," a new feed of AI-generated videos similar to TikTok. Users can create or remix clips, although early reception has been mostly negative, with users questioning why this feature exists at all alternativeto.net/news/2025/9/…
The image depicts a user interface for an image editing application. On the left side, there is a large image of an orange, furry character riding a motorcycle against a blue wall background. Below this image, there are three buttons labeled "Add music," "Change image," and "Change animation," with a "Generate" button below them. A color wheel is centrally located, surrounded by various icons and buttons, including a "Remix" button at the top and a "Vibes" button to the right. On the right side, there are four smaller images: a cat with cucumber slices for eyes, a moose on a trampoline, a van in a snowy landscape, and a person playing soccer. At the bottom, there is a text box labeled "Describe your image."

For the first – I don’t know how long – chunk of time the group was working, the focus was on, OK, let’s figure out which one of these approaches we’re going to standardize. And all the conversations were focused around that. And as you can imagine, it went round and round in circles. No one could agree, because everyone was invested in their own option....
Day 28 #SciArtSeptember prompt harvest. Echoing my print of insects for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination this print is intended to drive home how much we are dependent on insect pollinators. These are many of the food crops we grow here in Ontario which benefit from insects. I didn’t include crops grown for oil or as livestock feed. (Some are representative of a category, 🧵
Surprising that post-processing film is more time consuming that digital, I mean: the time spent for self-scanning + dust and scratch removal in #GIMP is more than just fine-tuning colors of my digital photos in #RawTherapee. On the other hand, no need to merge exposure bracketed photos because the dynamic range of film is impressive, Kodak Portra 400 in this case.

On many platforms, we are no longer the customers, but instead have become the product. Our data, even if anonymised, is sold on to actors we never intended it to reach, who can then target us with content and advertising. This includes deliberately harmful content that leads to real-world violence, spreads misinformation, wreaks havoc on our psychological wellbeing and seeks to undermine social cohesion.
Another propagandist article by the bourgeoisie. Not a word for the gap between workers and the elite in each country. Just bullshits to break the unity of the working class. In this propagandist article we need to have a fight between old and young workers... time.com/7320745/boomers-pensi…

Millions of Americans have no retirement savings (20-50% of all U.S. adults, depending on the survey). Consequently, they will never be able to truly retire, or will be dependent on friends and family and/or die in poverty. Social security, if it even survives the Trump butcher block, is generally not enough to live on without additional savings or investments.
The next time someone tells you that "we don't have money for pensions", remember this report about the tax of the elite:
"Wealth inequality is evident worldwide, including in #Europe. As of early 2025, the wealthiest 5% of the population in the eurozone controlled 45% of net household wealth, while the top 10% held 57.4%, according to the European Central Bank (#ECB).
This concentration of wealth keeps the debate over wealth taxes at the centre of discussions in many countries. Most recently, French billionaire Bernard Arnault strongly opposed a proposed 2% levy on citizens with assets over €100 million, calling it “an offensive that is deadly for our economy”.
Over the past three decades, several countries have repealed individual wealth taxes. The number of #OECD members levying such taxes fell from 12 in 1990 to just 4 in 2017. They are European countries: #Austria (1994), #Denmark (1997), #Germany (1997), the #Netherlands (2001), #Finland, #Iceland, and #Luxembourg (all in 2006), and #Sweden (2007)."
Several European countries have repealed wealth taxes in recent decades. As of 2025, only three still impose a tax on individual net wealth, while a few others levy taxes only on selected assets.

"[W]henever I need a Redocly or Swagger UI CLI command, again, I use ChatGPT. And it does something the site doesn’t do in that I get completed commands ready to run. Easier, faster, and more productive than going to your site. Writers may not do this a lot themselves. Developers do. This is where thinking like a developer comes in. They use AI for programming. Don’t take my word for it. Ask around. Watch developers work. Write an application yourself, something I advocate API documentation writers must do anyhow. These suggestions are for seeing how AI is creeping into the developer’s work style.
That means developer don’t know or care what the site looks like. Only that the content is there. The key is that AI doesn’t make up information. It gets it from somewhere. And that somewhere is your site. The more complete the information, field explanations (remember this one from earlier?), and interactions, the more complete the AI can be. That means happier developers.
In that regard, writers will always have a job writing content. Writers won’t always have a job formatting the output or publishing files. Your publishing tools are needed for the moment. But you need to be thinking two to five years in advance. Now."

Fun time #volunteering at my local #RepairCafe this morning. I fixed a drill (resoldered detached wire) fixed an OOOOLD snap on NiCad battery pack for a impact driver. Glued a bit of a binocular casing back together. Advised on disposal of a kettle and rewired a broken mains cable on a lawnmower. My colleagues on the #sewing table helped get a 15yr old mate if my son do visible #repairs on his (well skated) jeans!
