Twitch’s iOS app is constantly poor. Usually in some new weird way.

Recently; open the app, immediately switch out of the default “live” view no one wants (and ducks your current audio even tho it itself doesn’t play audio) into “following” which everyone wants as default. open a stream. Chat loader spins forever with no chat updates. Force quit app. Try again. Chat works now.

Been like this for weeks.

Why are so many apps so bad?

"I'll try Darktable" says the guy who used Lightroom since version 1, on many shots over many years - but hasn't really done photography in a few years now.

An hour later: Un-install Darkroom.

What a ridiculously un-intuitive and hostile mess. I couldn't even work out *where* the library file is saved. Or how to delete imported images. Or why it imports with a ton of editing crap already enabled. Or what a HUGE chunk of the UI was even talking about.

Finding it hard to actually verify the source of this; but it seems true as far as I can tell: this advert is entirely computer generated. Using ai alone. No source video. Just prompts, $500 of compute tokens, and 24hrs.

We can no longer trust what we see. For $500 some ass can manufacture believable viral propaganda.

I have spotted only two tells in this video, and neither on first watch. And I was looking for tells.

Video is no longer evidence of truth by default.

Ahhh, glorious!

Showers leaking into the kitchen.

Again.
