I'm a photographer & retired art framer. My photos are edited using Darktable on a Linux box (Linux user since the '90s) & licensed Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0. I don't use machine learning apps. All composites will be clearly noted. I follow science, history, & photography toots. Formerly, I was a civil rights & energy policy troublemaker (aka: community organizer). And I'm a former netcast producer & host of This Week in Energy, the Plug In America Show, & a couple Hacker Public Radio episodes.

I love this old gas station. It makes me dream of the day when all gas stations look like this!

(I also like it because I have often romanticized about owning that cliche gas station on a lonely desert road in the middle of nowhere. You've seen it in the movies, the gas station with the old guy in a rocking chair, the '50s style Coke machine, and the big dog you have to step over to go inside.)

Sooner or later it will go sideways and everyone who spent time there building a community/following will be screwed like they are on the culture war for-profit social media sites.

That said, I saw a Breaking Bad episode at a friend's house once. I thought it was awful. So dark. So unrealistic. Not a single person cracked a joke or smiled during the entire episode.

Looks like a great getaway summer home for Gomez and Morticia Addams! Small enough where they'd have to leave Grandmama, Uncle Fester, Pugsley, Wednesday, Lurch, Cousin Itt, and Thing at home. (Junction, Utah, 10/25/2024.)

Is anyone seeing this post using ungoogled-chromium?

It's actively maintained. What has been your experience?

I'm trying to de-googlefie my life as much as possible, but I do like Chromium, been using it for years. Thoughts?
