Put a curved screen on everything, microwave your thanksgiving turkey, put EVERYTHING including hot dogs, ham, and olives in gelatin. Only useful things will have AI in them in the future and I have a hard time convincing the hardcore anti-ai crowd of that.

To help stem the downvotes from people who don’t understand, if you take a picture of a vase with various mm lenses from the same distance and then crop to the size of the vase, every picture will be the same. It’s only distance that matters. Taking 20 pictures in a grid really close to your face with a telephoto lens and stitching them together into a single picture will result in a wide angle shot.

Essentially I get around the top 12 articles/pictures/text-posts each day that real people think are actually important for each of my interests. Open to suggestions, though.

It feels like my experience on Mastodon after Twitter imploded. Hopefully it lasts.

Exactly so. I’m about a third way through Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. It had a section on infinite scrolling which made me realize it didn’t have it. The book talks a lot about social media’s grip on us.

Don’t you just love your phone and mac sharing the same copy/paste clipboard

I appreciate the fact there is no infinite scroll on the front page.
