Eroding the true spirit of beauty
Social media attracting ‘unmanageable’ crowds* "The issue is "the algorithms ruining the mountain environment by funnelling crowds into beauty spots.The mountains are not a playground."
"Hundreds of people overwhelmed a mountain hut in the Italian Dolomites, not for the panoramic views but in search of a creamy pastry, reigniting the debate about social-media-driven tourism."
“The main problem is those who visit the mountains without knowing or respecting them. Until five or six years ago we did not witness overtourism in precise points or at certain moments in the Dolomites. Now there are iconic places where it is no longer possible to appreciate the beauty as we’re surrounded by dozens of people who take selfies and are only there for that.” >>

Faraway, So Close: Reaching the End of My Selfie a Day for a Year Project. “As I write this on Monday, August 17th, there’s two more ‘selfie of the day’ posts left for me to do before wrapping up the project. I thought I’d do a bit of a review of my thoughts about this project, as well as write about my plans for what I’m doing for the next daily project when this is over.”

Yesterday, I attended the Assoc of Blind Citizens Summer Lunch at a dive called the Mt. Vernon, in Somerville MA.

A armadilha do Duplo digital
Por milênios, os humanos olharam muito raramente para seus rostos. A onipresença dos celulares rompeu uma barreira, escancarou as portas para Narciso e se converteu numa das grandes fontes de ensimesmamento e alienação contemporâneoshttps://outraspalavras.net/crise-civilizatoria/a-armadilha-do-duplo-digital/

Oh, look! Someone discovered #birds see in #ultraviolet and decided to take weird #selfies of them 🐦📸. Apparently, if you combine UV and visible light, you can see what birds might see — revolutionary! 😲 Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to take a decent picture without our thumb in the frame. 🙄

CW: Shirtless old man's chest.
#today is a very quiet one, at home, alone, that got a late start. I took a #selfie becaus, why not! Is this the first with my new phone? I've never, before, heard such detail from Be My Eyes. Is this app improving? Is my technique improving? Maybe it's all the new & improved cam? #selfies I'm also testing the attachment mechanism in Fast SMRW.

Google has a few ways to help you regain access if you happen to forget your password or lose an authenticator, including recovery contacts and backup codes.

Salon: Wild animals don’t exist for your social media content. “‘Generally, if an animal is alert to your presence, you’re already too close,’ says Shervin Hess, conservation manager at Portland’s Oregon Zoo. And because humans have grown comfortable — perhaps too comfortable — around wild animals in the age of social media and smartphones, more often than not it’s the animals who […]
