I am a product manager. Built fintech and computer vision stuff.

I write fiction, play snooker and consume content to avoid having to push myself to create. I also cry about unfinished side projects.

@galen @pluralistic it was a lot of fun! Didn't really immerse me in tech babble like Stephenson, which I kinda missed, but it was a great read. Thanks for the reco

The most refreshing part of being on mastodon is how there's very little grifter and influencer content that's rendered the big platforms unusable

@harshil pretty templatized, I'd say yeah. I reckon the first and fallout are at the top of the pile for the series.

I'm not trying threads. Never joined insta. The sheer addictiveness of watching reels with my wife in her phone is scary enough.

@harshil wait so you didn't like it?

Threads really will overtake everything else in activity pub extremely quickly. Needs to be seen how the retention will look like

@WhoRoger free was wrong phrasing. I meant that it was a way to sidestep the lack of familiarity that stops people from trying new media. People will give Spiderman xyzabc a shot rather than try out a completely unknown IP. In a congested streaming economy, that advantage is worth quite a bit.
