had a nice convo with Jonathan about some of my favorite very old software! i also confusingly explain how i'm convinced that 'claudes in the cloud' are going to be a huge deal (recorded a month before openclaw took off...)

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

do we know if tiktok will be blocked by ISPs, if the ban happens? I know the law requires web *hosts* to deny them service, but i haven't read anything about forced *blocking of access* it'd be really weird/funny if everyone just started using the tiktok mobile web app

Nobody is mad about cost of living, any more than they’re mad about immigration, or crime. They’re mad because the right has built a massive outrage machine and plugged it into the brains of most of rn country. Ancient Dems cannot understand this are being made fools of again and again

two new details i'm trying out in feeeed, my news reader app: 🔴 POSTS RARELY: sometimes the posts you look forward to the most come from sources that post a few times a year. what if 'rare posts' were highlighted? 📚 LEFT OPEN: stories you leave open until the app quits are added to ur reading list

screenshot of the app demonstrating a 'posts rarely' badge on one story, and a 'you left this open' badge on another story

tech companies in 2024 will be like “PLEEEASE 🥺🥺 use our APP and don’t EVER 🚫⛔️ use our WEBSITE 🤮🤮 we built this whole website for some reason but DONT FUCKING DARE use it use our app use our app here’s a button to 👉👉 OPEN OUR APP 😩👈👈” then you’ll tap it and it won’t even open the app

a little map experiment i never pursued: 1. read a bunch of local publications, extract places mentioned, plot them on a map (unreliable but cool when it works) 2. when you zoom in far enough, overlay street view the idea was to bring more human data to maps; didn't work too well but cool!
