@aurynn I read this as "screams," honestly, relatable.

I've been doing this thing where I read what other people write, have a random, uninformed opinion form in response, and then I don't leave a comment relaying said random, uninformed opinion.

I do this in conversations as well. I'm trying to get it catch on.

As they announce another round of layoffs, Bungie may be the best example of passionate, capable devs being sabotaged by incompetent executive leadership in the gaming industry.

I'm so sorry to all of you who lost your jobs today.

I'm so disappointed that Pete Parsons still has a job.

@paco I think it's a YouTube stream of a Zoom call--it's just that only the speakers are on the "call."

I agree that it set strange expectations. I wasn't sure if I was "in" until after it started.

We dropped the first episode of The Liturgists Podcast 10 years ago today. I could have never guessed how much that would change my life.

I look forward to weekends, but don't dread Mondays. I think that's as good a measure of success as any.

I'm actually excited about the US elections this November. I haven't been able to say that in a couple of years.

Mastodon is the world's biggest community of people who deeply love computers and also think that the world would probably be better off without computers

@jfkantrowitz @jessicafaithkantrowitz @greenmountaingirl That's neat!

If you know, you know. #destiny

@Rainer Indeed. Scary stuff.

Generative AI hasn't hit the Trough of Disillusionment yet. Right now the cost of delivering these service is heavily subsidized by investor excitement. That likely will not last.

AI will then be declared "dead" or a "bubble," before it comes back in the form that will persist.

Tech question:

I've been trying out #Arc Browser and Mac and Windows and quite like it. I installed the iOS app today, but can't find where to create a new profile (as opposed to a new space).

Does this exist on Arc Mobile?

@camerondotca We lead North America in per capita cyclist deaths a year.

@camerondotca electric bikes are indeed amazing, and a good way to get killed in Los Angeles.

Cheap EVs are amazing! The Model 3 and Bolt EV were so popular. China is moving affordable EVs in incredible quantities.

It's wild how, "Car manufacturers elected to electrify the premium and luxury segments of their product lineup and interest rates are sky high," gets turned into, "people don't want electric cars," in the media.

I'm so glad I used to tour for a living so that I can now appreciate how good it is to not tour for a living.
