Trying out a new bike mirror contraption that mounts to my glasses, which I can already say aren’t quite a great choice of glasses model to use with the thingy but will try to make do

#Meta is so addicted to inflicting addiction that they inaugurated a UI that I’ve never seen before: scroll between tabs. They might not have invented it, but they sure executed it well.

So now even a benign landing page morphs into infinite scrolling without you explicitly switching to the time-sink tab

re @TechConnectify latest video on CC & Subtitles; Speaking of YouTube captions not having positioning as good as closed captions used to have...

How about those captions being layered on top of the video in a way not compatible with Picture-In-Picture? 🙃

(I think this varies across browsers and video platforms but anyway, here I am wondering when my particular combination will be fixed.)

I just noticed that there seems to exist a gym in one of the top floors of the VPL central branch building (the middle/round part). But what is that place? The #VPL doesn't have a gym AFAICT, so who put that in there?

This #ChatGPT tooltip: "Think before responding".

This is:
- not descriptive what the feature really does;
- misleading because why would I ever want a thoughtless response;
- not accurate because "think" is a vague and amorphous concept here;

Was the goal here to just have a tooltip, whatever it says? Or is this a joke on users getting less used to think critically for themselves? Guess I'll have to ask that - with 'Reason' turned on.

Just saw @jsnell quoted from @upgrade reading @ingrid 's Perfect Sentences.

It's so funny when these random cross-overs happen. Makes the web feel like a small place from time to time. Well, the group of cool people saying cool stuff might be in fact a small corner.

Winter cycling can be amazing.

Shareholder letter demanding that Amazon directs Whole Foods to capitalize on the paranoia and conspiracy theories surrounding processed and "cheap" food to sell more a expensive supposedly healthy lifestyle.

I've read enough shareholder letters to get mildly desensitized about cynical corporate speak but citing RFK Jr was just too much, wtf.
