  • RIP hero

    Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did.

  • Look if you hate hip-hop music videos… 😉

  • A joker took advantage of this format and replaced a word accordingly

    We do that when people say stupid stuff:

    1: Tate says serious thing about women that is related to “””positive””” Tate trait

    2: Joker reframes it to be negative Tate trait - a classic switcharoo

    tl;dr Tate - and not a news story you’re missing - is the connection

  • I see what you mean

    I will say, when a company tries sometimes they can make small work really well:

    There are opportunities to make small desirable. But I know people like their big trucks, I’m sure people like their big phones too.

  • Silly.

    Are they learning?

    Edit: my bet is the experience was so ridiculously frustrating, Chrome/Google actually saw some attrition - maybe enough people made Yahoo! Mail accounts that Google noticed

  • I don’t want to know that stat butttt do you know that stat? I’m curious anyway

  • It takes longer than doing it manually but I still employ speech to text on mobile 🙂

    Since superwhisper uses some config (AVAudioSession?) that doesn’t interrupt media playback, it records even while the CAPTCHA speaks.

  • “Don’t Be Evil” happily indexing while Bingcrosoft sleeps

  • Good tip for Spotify folks


    OK now not to preach!A couple people have argued we can avoid consolidating more power in Spotify, who envisions a world of exclusive/proprietary podcasts, by going with other options

  • Yes, poor guy, something like -

    YouTuber Drake reveals a complicated and ongoing health situation, starting with unexpectedly high testosterone levels, leading to numerous tests, insurance company disputes, a potential liver disease diagnosis after years of abnormal blood markers, and a temporary redirection of his focus from creating his typical YouTube videos to pursuing personal passions like storm chasing, while assuring fans of his eventual return.

  • Audio captcha -> open-source* speech-to-text -> cursor inserts the captcha for me, w/o an extra dedicated CAPTCHA add on some of the corresponding potential hassles

    (Closed-source superwhisper + Keyboard Maestro also make this a breeze on Mac :) )

  • Podcast ads can be some of the most acceptable, when it’s the hosts reading about products they might’ve used / didn’t mind using.

    If a quick “sub to Audible” is the difference between a Patreon paywall / content unavailable & free listening, well, make it quick pls 😉

    sidebar - shoutout styropyro for some ad for a science desk where he lit the one he got free on fire. Sponsorblockers missed a fun segment there (arguably making up for it with less dubious supplement spam of course)

    Edit: that might not be the exact video but it’s awesome

  • That's quite a good point. Here's a little thought experiment, though: If we woke up tomorrow and Mastodon looked just like Bluesky (but with a different color scheme) and featured 100% two-way integration with Bluesky...

    Essentially, if Mastodon became hands down the most user-friendly and engaging option—would that be enough to make a meaningful difference in its adoption curve?

  • Was it just a facetious complaint?

    OK yeah but… we can’t have nice things soooo

  • Dang mr. two steps ahead over here

    Or… Ms. Mr. Ability to trace back from one step ahead without knowing where the first step came from, OK gotta workshop that one

  • Come to our species when you want to ignore the possibly highly damaging* yet murky and uncertain in favor of prioritizing the certainty of immediate convenience today.

    *must be informed to realize this basic tenet
