Is there an emoji for, "I saw your text but didn't know how to perfectly respond to it so I waited until I knew exactly what to say but it's been three weeks so now I just feel microbursts of shame every time I see your name in the elephant graveyard of messages on my phone?"

if i delete the shortcut to the twitter app it’s because i want to use it less, but then the apps i use the most whether not i *want* to be using them are the ones that get the most suggested. tiktok hell

“smart” app suggestions on your phone’s library are an anti pattern. they prevent you from controlling which things *aren’t* easily accessible on your phone

oh dang

One of the first things I learned at cable guy orientation was that if you have to use the bathroom you tell the customer that you have to run to the shop and get a tool and then shit or piss at a gas station or McDonald’s.

it's very strange see people have 101-level discussions about AI in the replies of the more famous TPOTers

people devoting a paragraph or two to exploring basic concepts like superintelligence

obviously not a bad thing, it's cool that it's happening. just funny to see

mise en potluck where everyone brings prepared ingredients and you have to figure out how to make them work together

the higher-bandwidth a conversation can be without being IRL, the easier it tricks you into thinking it's ~IRL without giving you the actual IRL benefits. obviously true with video chatting. maybe also true with e.g. instagram reels?

this is maybe the least embodied medium? short isolated bits of text

but maybe that works to the conversation's benefit
