Tried Claude for something I was pretty sure AI would be good at, went back and forth with useful details to have it help me jog my memory and it was no help.

I went and found the answer to through other internet research methods, when back and told Claude “your responses where not helpful, but I the answer is ‘x’” - to which it replied “Glad we found it!”

Anyway, how do I slap Claude upside the head?

Heavy Gus’s “Notions” (2021) is an under-appreciated indie-pop record. youtu.be/-un5HEGauy0?si=c5f4P8

@hotdogsladies To be fair, when you can do no wrong, people who keep implying you did wrong are exhausting and try your patience.

If you need a playlist, here’s my collection of highlights of the country duet. They can be fiery, they can be funny, but they are some of my favorite moments of the genre. music.apple.com/us/playlist/we

@mergesort Possibly the “Safari > Safari Extensions” menu which I always expect to open extension prefs.

So, yes, you can do this, but expect it to take a while, as they want to individually intake each one. mastodon.social/@agiletortoise

If you think Liquid Glass is bad, wait until you see the custom version CVS came up with for their app. It's not a tab bar even, it pushes on a nav stack, has different types of “current page" affordances, and inconsistent positioning.

@mark This was clearly an art installation, right? Did you make a call on it?

@flargh FWIW, your work was meaningful, but not who you are. Start with things you care about sharing. You have a gift for words, it will come.

Some of my kids’ good friends are running a house party venue in a rental, which I love so much and love even more that they tell everyone to park *in the nearby jail parking lot*

This may negatively affect the long term prospects of the venue, but so be it.

It’s amazing how much of the advertising aimed at Texas boils down to putting some guy in a field wearing denim saying something like “I’m just a down-to-earth yokel, and I don’t know much, but I know [insert thing a down-to-earth yokel definitely does not know about]”

…so, I know Apple recycles it's own products. But can I just walk into an Apple store and hand them a bag of old iPhones?
