Two women are doing video interviews in London's Brick Lane. One has a camera with the lens covered by something the size of a small tablet computer. She is on the left of the picture, her female companion in the middle, and their two subjects, one male and one female are on the right. There is a graffiti-covered wall behind them.

We see a wooden market stall with a sloping corrugated roof, decorated just under the roof with sprigs of fir. The woman talking to her colleague is selling brightly reflective flower-shaped metal objects, hanging from the ceiling, that flash as they spin and reflect the sunlight



Even the FBI says you should use an ad blocker


This holiday season, consider giving the gift of security with an ad blocker. That’s the takeaway message from an unlikely source — the FBI — which this week issued an alert warning that cybercriminals are using online ads in search results with the ultimate goal of stealing or extorting money from victims.

Creepy 19th-Century Photos Show What Santa Claus Used To Look Like


These remarkable 19th-century photos reveal that Santa Claus was not always the portly, jolly, red-cheeked figure known today.

A hunchbacked, skinny, and sometimes terrifying man, the fascinating images show what Father Christmas looked like in the 19th century — before he became the cuddly, bearded man marketed to modern-day consumers.

You have to understand that the commonly shown image (at least in North America) is a turn of the century marketing push by Coca-Cola. The scrawny-scary ones are older from before that time.


How to Create AI Images: A Quick Tutorial


Darren Rowse posts:

I’ve recently been creating AI images with Midjourney, and I’ve had some people push back on my work – so I thought maybe it’d be helpful to see the full process. My hope is that, after reading this article, you can see that working with AI to create images is not just about plugging in a few words and watching as the program spits out great photos.

Request to anyone knowing how to create a Javascript bookmarklet

in reply to Garry Knight

You might find https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/adding-a-share-on-mastodon-button-to-a-website.html a useful start 😀
in reply to Tim ☑️ 🔭🌃📷🚴🌳

Thanks. Someone else offered me something similar. I can't use it, though, as I don't know Javascript or the Mastodon API. If someone who is familiar with both offers to code something, I'll point them at this share button.

I'm surprised that no one's coded a bookmarklet yet, as it seems to me that it could get a lot of use among those of us who curate website articles.

in reply to Damien Tron

Could be. Generally, we're not allowed to feed them in many places in central London. I don't know if that's the case in Covent Garden Market, but perhaps most other people also don't know.

iPhone 14’s Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection features combine to help first responders pull off incredible helicopter rescue


According to law enforcement and first responders, a car with two passengers drove off Angeles Forest Highway in Angeles National Forest and plummeted 300 feet into the canyon. One of the passengers’ iPhone 14 registered this crash thanks to the new Crash Detection feature.

In the canyon, the passengers had no cell phone service, which is where Emergency SOS via satellite enters the equation. After the iPhone 14 registered the crash, the iPhone 14’s satellite connectivity feature kicked in to connect the victims to first responders. The iPhone 14 was connected to one of Apple’s new relay centers, and that relay center then communicated the situation with first responders.

Base Editing: Revolutionary therapy clears girl's incurable cancer


All other treatments for Alyssa's leukaemia had failed.
So doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital used "base editing" to perform a feat of biological engineering to build her a new living drug.
Six months later the cancer is undetectable, but Alyssa is still being monitored in case it comes back.
