I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

We need fewer "opinion" columnists and more investigative journalists. Or heck, just journalists who report facts in as unbiased a manner as possible.

I think one way we move toward that is by throwing money at the types of journalism that have value. I'll throw it open here: if I have money to put toward a subscription, where would that be best spent?

What a difference — I wake up today to 50 posts in my filtered home timeline on Tusker vs. 380 posts in my unfiltered Akkoma web interface home timeline 🙂

Well, this certainly is working. But I think I need a few more tweaks — for one, filtering out hashtags I’m following from the home timeline and for another, possibly showing filtered items as compact cards (like what most clients allows you to do for filtered keywords) instead of simply removing the item altogether.

Hopefully, I’m done at that point 😛

@tanyamr Lists didn’t make a lot of sense to me till I got filtering of the main timeline implemented 🙂 I read *everything* on my main timeline and so lists didn’t really work for me before. But now that I can filter out everything appearing in lists from the main timeline, it’s that much more useful to me personally …

Plus, it lets me follow a lot more people without the main timeline getting overwhelmed 😀

Now that I’ve got actually functional lists (not ones which duplicate content on the home timeline), I am going a bit crazy creating lists 😛

Originally, I thought I’d only have one list for people who generate a lot of content. But then I realized that I can actually create lists for people who create different types of content (mostly) — a jokes list for humour; an arts list for photographers, artists, and so on …

This is getting a lot more complicated but also a lot more organised 🙂

Yesterday's #StableDiffusion prompt was: "Secret forest with hidden nooks" or "Fantasy forest with hidden nooks" ... I did some for each 🙂

These were done using multiple different models and different resolutions and so there's quite a range to the images.

I liked the results so much that I'll probably be doing a few more of this over the next few days ... Or, variations thereof.

A big old oak tree in its autumn colours with a coating of wintry sugar for good measure.

I spent some of today looking for big old trees. I found a glut of them, but struggled to turn the most interesting of them into photographs. Mental note made of their locations, though - so I will be returning!

Have a great evening. ❤️
