A view looking toward a massive wall of gridded windows beneath a high dark gray ceiling. The curved ceiling features structural beams and scattered rows of small lights. Thick vertical pillars frame the large glass panes, which look out onto a cloudy white sky. d280834e-d822-4d1c-b2db-a0fc14dd603f

The void rises.

Great view!

A waterfall cascades down a rocky cliff into a rushing stream. Several slender trees stand in the foreground, their dark trunks contrasting with the bright mist of the falling water. A steep, textured hillside covered in foliage and rocks rises to the right of the stream. 339bd326-4d5d-4c5e-a6fc-76f9193654c3

A hidden place where the rocks split and the water wins.

A white cat with gray and black tabby markings on its head and a ringed tabby tail is sitting on a tiled floor, its tail curled around its paws. On the cat's left is a tall red fire extinguisher, while on its right are multiple large plastic containers filled with bright blue windshield washer fluid. The cat’s turned away from the camera, snuggled between the safety gear and the blue bins in the corner. You may not understand why I'm being bundled with auto parts, but it's the will of our planet. Give up your job, become a cat. 92a8fc41-1dff-4fc5-b54a-3cc79b8e7e85

Vehicle inspection checklist:
​✔️ Fire extinguisher
✔️ Washer fluid
✔️ Car?

A screenshot of a computer desktop running Windows XP, showing an "HTML Help" window displaying a Bluesky social media profile via a third-party client called "mvgk." The profile for Bluesky (@bsky.app) shows 32,943,111 followers and includes a post about a minor league baseball starter pack by a user, alongside a post from Surf (@surf.social) about an NFL Draft AMA. The interface appears dated with simplified web rendering, featuring a large gray placeholder box labeled "[Click to load banner]" and a broken image icon where a profile picture should be. The bottom taskbar shows "HTML Help" and "Process Hacker [2K3]..." active, with the system time set to 02:01 on April 22, 2026.

Trying to make an extremely lightweight Bluesky client for legacy systems.

So far got it running on the HTML Help (IE5!) applet of Windows XP. It's using ~4MB RAM but can't load any images because no caching and no HTTPS.

Will try to run it on other old browsers, including cell phones.

Close-up of a weathered tree stump standing in a grassy field under the blue sky with clouds. The stump features deeply textured wood grain and a large, dark hollow in the center that appears to be a natural cavity or rot. Behind the stump, a green grassy slope leads up to a road with a metal guardrail, flanked by several thin budding trees in the distance. The lighting is bright and natural, showing the stark white and gray tones of the stump against the vibrant green grass. f51ab365-be60-4466-b6f2-3b8efa3e8d65

A shallow stream flows over a rocky riverbed, bordered by bright green grass on the left bank. The right side and foreground are heavily covered by trees with dense bare branches that appear to be just beginning to bud. In the background, a line of trees follows the stream's curve on the left, and a grassy hill slopes upward on the right under the blue sky with fluffy white clouds. 8f30a1d2-428d-4238-833d-3bb268b6045e

Low-angle view of a steep white-gray cliffside composed of chalky rock. Deep vertical fissures and erosional gullies carve through the rugged slope, leading up to a jagged ridge where scattered green coniferous trees grow against the blue sky with wispy white clouds. The material of the cliff is highly textured, resembling a limestone or marl formation. 33640066-a696-450b-8ab7-b7e4b7607840

Tim the Apple becomes chairperson and John Ternus the hardware guy becomes CEO (effective September).

Looks like the hardware people are winning, after the disasters that are Apple intelligence, liquid glass and the creator subscription thingy.

Apparently, Bluesky went down AGAIN last hour, this time taking all my browser sessions with it. Beautiful. Now I have to spend 150 years trying to log back in on all my browsers.

Close-up of a pale pink-purple African daisy flower in full bloom, with petals featuring thin and dark purple stripes radiating outward from a central, darker purple ring. Inside the ring is a textured cluster of small yellow and brown florets. A closed green-yellow bud sits to the left, set against a bokeh'd background of bright green leaves. b7d4e3f0-4f33-4284-b92a-a08cc86ec0b8

Gray spotted cat walking through green grass, partially hidden behind a leafy green bush on the left. One of the cat's green eyes peeks out from between the leaves as it looks toward the camera. In the background to the right, a flat piece of cardboard lies on the grass. You may not understand why I'm hiding, but it's the will of my planet.

A tall light pole with brightly glowing fixtures stands against a cloudy blue night sky. The bright lights illuminate the top of an orange tree situated directly in front of the pole. A faint blue vertical lens flare is visible around the main lights. b179dd37-402d-42cd-9494-9034484a31a0

Bright sunlight shines through the mostly bare branches of tall pine trees in a forest, creating a distinct lens flare. Below the tall trees, the dense undergrowth features a mix of green bushes and vibrant yellow autumn foliage. d765a4e2-b435-4d2d-8ae2-e45e74da1972

Low-angle view of high weathered concrete wall topped with a chain-link fence against a light gray overcast sky. A double-headed street lamp rises from behind the wall, its minimalist silhouette forming a T-shape. To the right, the wall corners into a darkening shadowed underpass where a white vertical pipe is visible. The composition shows harsh industrial lines and an utilitarian atmosphere. 2163e2b6-d034-449d-9a5f-e1223a45d78c

An orange tabby cat stands in a dense patch of green vegetation, looking intently downwards and to the left, appearing alert as if it is chasing something unseen. The surrounding foliage includes a variety of plants, some with jagged leaves resembling spiky thistles. You may not understand what I'm actually looking at, but it's the will of my planet.

Deep blue sea stretches to the clear blue horizon under a bright sky. In the foreground, a thin strip of brownish rocky roadside embankment with scattered white stones runs along the bottom of the frame. The water is lightly textured with small ripples, and the overall atmosphere is serene and minimalist. 0527083d-48a8-496c-9188-d4d3655ce8aa

A tabby cat stands on its hind legs to peek through a black wrought-iron fence. Its front paws rest on a lower horizontal bar as it looks out toward a brick sidewalk scattered with fallen leaves from a maple tree. In the background, a utility pole and the fronts of several parked cars are visible. The scene evokes a quiet and curious moment in an urban or suburban setting. You may not understand why I'm looking so deeply, but that's the will of our lives. Give up your job, become a cat. f1046efb-4872-41eb-a5de-dd78b937ab63

The weathered façade of an deteriorating old building. The exterior walls are made of crumbling plaster and mud bricks, revealing vertical wooden beams and rough stone underneath. A small and dark rectangular opening sits above a patch of weathered wood planks, while a nearby window is covered by an ornate scrolled wrought-iron grate. Overhanging the wall is a wooden eave with decorative scalloped trim, supported by a curved stone and plaster bracket. 1ef5655f-239b-4639-ac73-f1f5a9c86955

Bluesky is still busy freaking out. Well, new @nin.com live album just dropped. Seems to be studio/rehearsal version (guessed by quality and proper lyrics for Copy of a) of the Coachella set with crowd noises added in (annoying). 9/10. #musicsky

Damn, even status.bsky.app is down (for me?).

Close-up of a rough gray concrete wall featuring the date '6th August 2000' (or June 8th?) deeply engraved into its surface. The numbers are arranged vertically from the bottom left toward the top center. To the right, a rusty blue metal structural beam is bolted into the concrete, and a strand of rusted barbed wire runs horizontally across the upper background. The surrounding ground shows patches of green grass and scattered debris, showcasing the rather industrial and abandoned outdoor setting. Please go through this time. 371abfbe-afdc-4196-a932-adbad1dbb4a2

Cat stretched out and asleep on a tiled floor beneath the legs of two dark chairs. It is white with a black patch over its left ear and a long dark tail. Its body is fully elongated in a relaxed posture, fitting into the narrow space between the chair legs. The minimalist composition emphasizes the contrast between the cat's soft fur and the sleek straight lines of the furniture. We may not understand why you don't want to work, but it's the will of our planet. I gave up my job and became a cat. 761f87ba-5f7c-4f45-8634-06a9a1bc2bd8

Brightly painted red underside of a bridge. The red metal structure has a central seam, two circular panels, and ventilation grates where it connects to the support. It rests on a heavily weathered textured concrete wall with a small section of stone blocks visible on the right edge. The ground below is a gray tiled pedestrian walkway featuring a yellow tactile paving strip running parallel to the wall. 58a4e739-3979-401c-a992-d8a09a8a3619
