Coming out of X hibernation to say that @mosseri doesn't get enough credit for the enshittification of Instagram.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a Día de Muertos photography workshop at the Popocatépetl volcano and the pueblo magico Cholula. Here I present a few of those captures.

Two connected thoughts that showed up in my feed today:
✔︎ Everyone you will ever meet has been tortured by their mind at some point in their life
✔︎ Don’t trust how you feel about your life after 9pm

First listen to Dark Side of the Moon (Roger's Version). I loved last year's Lockdown Sessions and this is a solid continuation in the same stripped down style (but more sombre). A lot of major detours from the original that explore themes that are clearly personal to Roger.

Sunday Night thoughts on Threads to celebrate Zuck posting after a week away:
1. The recommendation engine is unsurprisingly good at finding photogs and creators I might be interested in.
2. The algorithm continues to spew low value garbage from clout chasers.

Initial thoughts…
Threads:
+ Better design, but very limited features
+ More suitable network for creators
+ Has Martin Shkreli
Twitter:
+ More open, less restrictive
+ Still the de facto town square
+ Has O.J.

The Twitter app needs to immediately copy the Threads app method of displaying multiple photos per post. Less friction.

For those of you who are Instagram enjoyers, you can also find me on Threads, where I will try and post content more related to my photography. threads.net/@triplux

An Uber first for me here in Ecuador. The driver brought his wife along to ride shotgun, like it's a family road trip. Kind of a no-no, but Uber is playing hide and seek in this country, so let's break all the rules.

Oscar weekend. Last year was a bit of a letdown for films (worst year ever?), but two gems stood out for me among the 70 I watched:
1. Funny Pages (witty humour and endearing characters)
2. Blonde (unconventional/surreal storytelling)
2023 schedule looking remarkably better!

Twitter now adding coins to allow followers to support creators for individual tweets. Which means Instagram will add it in a couple of months. Just in time for AI bots to sweep in with auto-generated content, and dominate the independent creator industry 💩

Everyone is talking about Google vs Bing this week. I’ve done a quick side-by-side comparison for common daily scenarios I actually use and see which comes out on top. 🧵

Not extensive, and although the depth, quality, and possibly accuracy of the results may be better on Google, for my everyday use it’s clear that Bing is superior. One thing I haven’t seen on Bing are results that include tweets. Something Google does well for current events.
