Ok who's going to tell Slack that there's a great way to reduce email in business communication and that they could even use it to allow people to opt-out their Customer Data and Workspace Data from the Global Model.

Social media as a modality is super interesting compared to other kinds. The assumption is that feeds need to be stuffed full of posts because a literal following-only feed doesn't have enough new posts to keep you coming back.

But if you compared this to email, it'd be like "ugh I keep going to my inbox and there's no new stuff, I wish I had more email to reply to".

Inbox zero is an idea people try to achieve, but feed zero isn't. (In before people point out IG's "you're all caught up!")

At this point if we do get a runaway LLM hostile enough and able to wipe out humanity, at least it will do it in a hilariously wrong and overconfident manner

Welp, looks like I'm switching from Ivory to Phanpy on mobile at least.

(Gosh not because the Ivory devs have done or said something, but because Phanpy development and feature additions/experience are so good & different. Such a good PWA)

First reaction to reading on the Verge about a new vertically integrated and attractively designed heat pump system with closed, non-Google/Apple smarts from some xooglers is: "well I'm not buying that, it'll probably be shut down or unsupported within 5 years"

Let's talk about secret cabals for doing good!

Pros: they work and are sometimes necessary in order to coordinate activity amongst like-minded progressive people!

Cons: addictive, hard to disband, remaining secret generally destructive, tend to be exclusionary not only by design but also unintentionally!
