Lito, a self-taught Japanese artist who began creating intricate, hand-carved art on fallen leaves as a way to manage his ADHD. He carefully selects each leaf & carves whimsical patterns that often depict animals, objects & landscapes - transforming delicate leaves into complex scenes.
Art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature.
@Luigi311 @furilabs I know the website spec page does list the device dimensions, but it is in mm so no one in the US really knows what that means. See https://youtu.be/JYqfVE-fykk?feature=shared
@Luigi311 @furilabs This is such a great review. The only one thing I would add is that the device is *big*. Might be worth noting in the review as it wasn’t immediately clear to me just how large it is, bigger even than like iPhone 16 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra. It’s not a bad thing but just so people know what they should expect
@exchgr The comments under their announcement post are amazing.

Helpful and thorough review of Kagi from @matt 📺
It covers domain ranking, lenses, viewing web archives with the @internetarchive's Wayback Machine, keyboard shortcuts, bang shortcuts, sorting search results, and an overview of the iOS app:

@kims huh I guess science doesn’t have a good explanation, except that we have few neurons processing the periphery vision and so the brain makes guesses about what is there and this pattern throws our brains off.
@kims wait how does that happen?

@kjhealy As far as I have seen, Dan Ariely's career has been unaffected by anything?

Francesca Gino’s grotesque effort to sue the Data Colada people for defamation and interfering with her career has been dismissed. Good! Her defamation claim against Harvard has also been dismissed. She can continue against Harvard for breach of contract. Because they seem to have messed up procedural aspects of their review of her work, like which policy they followed and why, I'd bet the most likely outcome now is that Harvard settles—i.e. pays her off—and she leaves.

@Jeremiah I just recently discovered @AsteroidOS and one really cool feature is that they make it easy for people to make custom watchfaces. Seems like good fun.

Just saw the new 50th anniversary restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s THE CONVERSATION (1974) at IFC Center in New York City.
“It remains one of my favorite films,” Coppola said in a pre-taped intro. And mine too.
Gene Hackman’s deadpan paranoia is my official mood of fall.
