AH!

Dishwashers exist primarily to make living with traditional dinner ware easier. It's the anti-single-use-item machine.

The pods are like "but what if we force some single-use items into your routine?"

I think that's why I hate them so much.

Gen AI doth remove commitment from art. Yf an artist ys committed to makinge somethinge trulye weirde, even shockinge, that artist doth neede to crafte the art, at everye steppe thinkinge, "Yes, Ich am drawinge a sexy C-3PO." Wyth Gen AI you kan make a sexy C-3PO wythout caringe, and that ys wrong.

I love it when the algorithm can’t figure out who I am. E.g. by some combination of my visible searches esp with watches, Carousell started to show me listings for mobility scooters. I’m less than half the age to need those 😂😭😂

Going, going, gone.

October Moon Wrist Watch by designer Gene Meyer for ACME Studio

A white Pebble watch on my hairy wrist with a watch face that almost perfectly emulates what the original game boy pokémon game looked like. Currently a battle between Eeevee and Pikachu is taking place, and the current time is displayed in the text box at bottom

I mean, sometimes less really is more

TIL that when Trump backs off of an obviously stupid threat, Japanese social media users say he’s TACOる (“TACO-ing”) and I think that’s great

lol I don’t have much to say about “grokipedia” except it joins a long tradition of wikipedia derivatives that ultimately extend wikipedia's influence beyond its own site, and I did laugh at how "depths of wikipedia" is a word for word copy except that one word

Wikipedia's like one of the few unabashed wins from the internet age. That it didn't collapse in editor wars and factionalism is genuinely awesome.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

My bruv found my childhood wrist watch. Still works: tennis ball is the minute hand.

Been really enjoying these Instagram videos by Peter Glomb, a Swiss-trained, American watchmaker at Wristcheck. Here, he's repairing a rare version of the Patek 96, first introduced in 1932 and widely regarded as the watch that set the template for dress watches.

OK, having heard a report on some AI bracelet which is always recording audio with the idea that you could go back and audit your day's interactions or ask it questions about what you did that day...

look if you actually want this I think you're forgetting what it means to be human.

I do not claim to know why we are on this planet, but I am very certain we are not born to start a mission where we optimize every single little thing in our lives.

I think it's just not good for the spirit.

Musk: X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. ...the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

And perhaps it is only a bright light to some, but today at archive HQ a handful of us came together and rescued from an old dodgy drive a one of a kind compilation of a lifetime of research done by a writer so that his successor can complete the work.

all the anxiety human evolution developed to help me spot bears now kicks in when i have to answer emails
