also it's exhausting always being the weed

this isn’t entirely true but the new growth (including this mastodon instance) has felt more like a stubborn weed pushing up through the asphalt than anything

which is definitely a form of new life, and a necessary one, but it doesn’t make it any less depressing to see the gardens shrivel and decay

“it feels like things keep dying but nothing new has grown for years”

@essentialrandom my feeling is that editing XMP tags on images is something that does not have broad open-source/library support, and it's less web friendly (since you have to download the image before processing the metadata instead of getting the metadata first and then the image) so you won't see it in APIs over the internet

@essentialrandom it can be done and apparently is/has widely been done per Wikipedia:

« Although IIM was intended for use with all types of news items — including simple text articles — a subset found broad worldwide acceptance as the standard embedded metadata used by news and commercial photographers. Information such as the name of the photographer, copyright information and the caption or other description can be embedded either manually or automatically.

[…]

Because of its nearly universal acceptance among photographers — even amateurs — this is by far IPTC's most widely used standard. On the other hand, the use of IIM structure and metadata for text and graphics is mainly limited to European news agencies. » https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPTC_Information_Interchange_Model

(the more contemporary XMP-based standard: <https://iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata-2022.1.html>)

i need a way to organize my reading list i think

YOU CAN’T JUST ANIMATE ALL PRINCESS CHARACTERS THE SAME WAY

@gaditb oof and they’re paying him for this??

this paragraph could have been a footnote

i’m okay with AI depriving that guy specifically of his job

remember when that one author who definitely has not made any meaningful or substantial contributions to the English canon put a list of Zelda ingredients in his historical fiction novel

@Satsuma sounds like my kind of fic

just call it Zelda I’s Birthday if you must call it something
