@nickheer I expected the argument was going to bd something about monetary costs or presumed diminishing returns or something. But just "ah, it takes a lot of time"? Just about nothing in life is better if it is instantly attained

@Bowreality jokes aside, it feels in retrospect like exactly what they'd try to do. Zuck has awful taste and is always chasing whatever he thinks is the next big thing

Every Transit Authority:

"Well we gotta do some spoken announcements on the platforms and vehicles- and your colleagues all agreed, you sound the most unhappy whenever you talk about anything, so you're the new voice of the system!

@illogical_me I am 100% a broken clock, but I run on 24-hr time so I really only get things correct one time a day

Facebook has the opportunity to do something right for a change and poach Alan Dye. Cmon zuck, make it happen

@nickheer I hope you’re considering federated wingsuits and not just those supplied by the main instance, otherwise you’re a bad person

@robb same here. First season was genuinely fun and everything else felt like it was tacked on due to the runaway success of s1

@robb that’s what I did with season 4 when I was under the impression that was the last season and I felt cheated

well, Brian, make an educated guess- open book, no wrong answers

@robb a few years ago one of the kids at my church asked me if I’d heard of Minecraft

A new microseason in the "Lesser snow" (小雪 Shōsetsu) division has begun:

North wind blows the leaves from the trees (朔風払葉 Kitakaze konoha o harau)

This microseason will last until December 1.

@netopwibby similarly, I just call every short form thing a tweet. Fuck the whole “toots” or “skeets” or whatever cutesy term is designed to just be the equivalent.

@matt_birchler it feels to me like we’ve moved past the level of “wow this is cool!” about LLMs in general and we’re now in the “can we pack it into every aspect of technology and see what sticks” and that is incredibly tedious and mostly a waste of time.

@georgeperez a remarkable oversight on my part. But at that time, I didn’t think they were a good use of the money.

remarkably close to a bingo with 11 of these, but still no win

As annoying as “bug fixes and improvements” are for patch notes, I will take those bland notes every single time over the companies that write cutesy prose for 3 solid paragraphs to say the exact same thing.

Looking at you, Transit, for 90% of your updates.
