preface to say: I don't want to be friends with you because you hate Apple—it's among the least imaginative things to build your personality on 30 years running yet people still do it with gusto

But man, what a sad moment for a company that's built all its good will on the fusion of engineering and the humanities. The whole point of Apple products is to support your success with everything this ad so gleefully destroys

But there's a deeper irony…

Apple vaporizing brand equity for the iPad Pro—

a device that is now wildly overpowered at the hardware level compared to its anemic operating system and developer story

—is such a pointless waste

Just a terrible strategy whiff.

@paulca and so poorly timed!

ALL resentment with big tech today stems from its ravenous, totalizing appetite for consumption and domination

and you just come out and admit it? lmaoooooo

Did you know Scott Siskind and the EAs have started their own Prager U style project called "Rational Animations"?

@Elucidating it just occurred to me that part of why they want to kill TikTok is that it’s a much more potent counter to any such project

a whole progressive cultural project that emerged with a deafening roar

All you need to know about Rasputin-wannabe Jack Dorsey is that he subjected Twitter employees to his f-ing "salt juice" nonsense. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-jack-dorsey-drinks-salt-juice-every-morning-2019-5?op=1

Michael Burnham and SNW’s Pike as prisms of millennial leadership values

  • high EQ
  • self-accountable
  • generous with recognition
  • committed to ideals over process
  • willing to crack a joke

@kencrandall Anson Mount is an Xer

SNW’s Christopher Pike, born in the 2300’s well past the Gen X cutoff, is a commercial fantasy sold according to demographic strategy for streaming subscription sales

Gotta collect them all

(Freestyle photo in SoCal now carries Bellini’s ECN-2 chemicals. So now I have a mini lab at home where I can process, well, almost everything. All of these, and black and white in different chemicals as well)

Hard to believe that a year ago I didn’t know how to do any of this and now I have strong opinions and brand and product preferences on all of it

@skinnylatte I am so enchanted by this package design

the endgame of enshittification is the day when Microsoft Teams includes a remotely auditable process and filesystem monitor

which Microsoft gives to businesses for free under X seats

and in exchange for the free control, Microsoft gets to let any IP rentier who needs a boost next quarter come pick your staff's pocket remotely

of course they would split the spoils

@mattly to be clear this is postage stamp-scale Black Mirror, nothing real (merely technical possibility awaiting economic and political forces)

every time I encounter Tailwind I think “man there should be a global regulatory body that imprisons the perpetrators of this memetic hazard”

danilo,
@danilo@hachyderm.io avatar

(to be completely clear I support a post-carceral universe and don't think more cops is the answer to anything. but tailwind is a bad enough idea to make me lapse into a worse version of self, if only for a moment)

yeah I think the solution is something between SCP and the Men in Black

(Will Smith-flavored, not the actual conspiracy theory)

@paulca hahahaha

tell me more about this (also I completely understand its utility as a prototyping tool)

why did you decide to move away from the approach?

@lucapette I’m a humanitarian

what’s bad about it in practice? I never wade that deep

danilo,
@danilo@hachyderm.io avatar

@lucapette thanks for explaining

Yeah that’s the impression I’ve gotten. just an unintelligible blob that simultaneously defeats the purpose of CSS

now all of the styles are at the callsite so instead of updating your design in a couple of stylesheets it’s fully coupled to the markup of dozens of files?

how did we stray THAT far from the light of decency?

here's my thing about LastPass

that product looks like shit

it performs at exactly the level of integrity that you should expect from a product that looks that much like shit

some things really are that simple

@paulca transitioned out of 1Password, which got crummier and crummier, into the iCloud password regime a couple years ago, including all my OTP generators

It’s worked way better than anything else
