@jwz @mellow LOL Crazy

LOL, had to make an Instagram account to look at a thing and it got suspended in 5 minutes after creating it before I even had time to look at the thing.

I appeal, not having any idea what is going on and they unlock the account so I can look at the thing, and when I log in from the same exact machine it now says it's a login from a new device and I'm function limited as a result.

I didn't even want this account.

Introducing Video Toaster 4000

Anyone with an advanced film degree knows that Video FX peaked in 1992 when Snoop Dogg turned into a doberman in the “What’s My Name” music video. But back then, if you wanted to achieve that level of technical wizardry at home, the deck was stacked against you.

76 year old mother-in-law who has been registered to vote since 18, and in the same home for at least 50 years was dropped off the registration rolls in *California*.

Why? We have no idea.

So check your registration folks.

Talking to my son about Sci-Fi UX design, and I'd say the major shift from plausible designs like Mike Okuda made, to what we have now with holos and the like is that the function to the show is totally different.

Where they'd be business for actors to look like they were doing the thing, they are now 3-5 second mini movies explaining story points. So you get designs made for the streaming viewer, not for the character operating things.
