Notes

something weird has happened. in the last couple of weeks, i’ve gone from being “person who tries to ignore things that annoy them and hopes someone else fixes them” to “someone who immediately tries to fix the things that annoy them” and i dont like it

📖 just finished The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier and really enjoyed it. i won’t spoil it, but in particular there was an interpretation of Pandora’s Box that i’d never heard or thought of and it is REALLY sticking with me 😵‍💫

some asshole has been driving their LOUD motorcycle just… around my neighborhood for the last half hour. in fucking circles. why wouldn’t you take it somewhere you can drive fast? what’s the point of a motorcycle if you’re just driving it around a residential neighborhood???

this fucking sucks: gowalla.com

i was excited for Gowalla’s return but just noticed a very recent change to their twitter bio (“Connecting IRL with web3”) and clicked through to their website to discover that now the whole game is based around NFTs. what the fuck!

i assumed Copilot would end up being some kind of paid feature, but it still doesn’t sit right with me that this tech is trained on a mountain of open source software maintained by people who not only won’t be compensated but will also have to pay $10/mo to use it

just got into a fight with my neighbor because her fence gate was wide open and her dog rushed mine while we were walking past. she was like “he’s never done this!” and i had to tell her this wasn’t the first time i’ve seen him react violently to my dog

ME: wow, TikTok’s recommendation algorithm really is eerily good

TIKTOK: here are the top five things to avoid when going to Federal Prison
