Wasteful

For several days now I have been playing with Gemini, Google Takeout files and Flick Export files, first to re.marry json data to relevant exif fields, and then to create a folder structure library by year, month and day. In the process I have had to itterate, and itterate, and think lateraly in order to achieve what I wanted to achieve.

One of the biggest frustrations I have is that when I ask a follow up question for more specific detail of something it re-calculates everything. If you ask “Is this output expected” and it says “yes” it then repeats everything from the previous post into the new post. In so doing it gives us a lot of reading, but it also makes it hard to keep track of what it’s doing.

For a few years now I have noticed a worrying trend, one that sees content become so sparse on a web page that you see one tweet or facebook post per screen height. 

Before mobile first design, and the proliferation of React websites you would find pages that had twenty to thirty tweets per page. The same is true of Facebook. Now it’s barely one post per screen height. This means that you see one tweet, facebook post, instagram image and more.
