  1. «Inside GitHub's Fake Star Economy:
    Six million fake stars, $0.06 per click, and a VC funding pipeline that treats GitHub popularity as proof of traction. We ran our own analysis on 20 repos and found the fingerprints.»

  2. 2023 Photo Challenge 100/365
    ONE-DERLAND! This feels like I might make it! This shot is a redo of a previous shot and edit. I used my new skills to try something different. I was able to open it up to catch a blue/purple I didn't see before. Kind of like the previous darker version but this one has merit too. Might try splicing them in another edit after a while. #fakestars #Kodama #princessmononoke #photoexperiment #night #nighttimephotography #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge
