@multikev Love the hardware and product design innovations but I just bought a Lenovo and Windows 11 is so buggy!! Total trash compared to Max OS

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

It’s fantastic weather for cancelling plans.

[Ankita Arvind @Ankster29]

@machineError Congrats Bilgi and team! This is incredible! So excited to try it out! 🎉🎉🎉

@ajjuprasad Wow!!

Too bad Facebook 😏

[jumanji ito @naxuu]

it's fucking hilarious to me that a seemingly innocuous iOS update - allowing users to do a single-click opt in or out of data collection/tracking/analysis by apps - single-handedly torpedoed $10 billion and counting in Facebook's ad revenue

@multikev I literally just sent someone a message about the same topic! It's insane how it's taken over people's lives...such a new psychological phenomenon created by dark patterns

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Maybe if we all sit extremely still, Monday won't be able to see us.

@vfsglobalcare Our passports were left with the security guard upon delivery!!! - no email/message/call about delivery happening today. I'm going to take this up very seriously. You guys didn't allow me to pick up the passport and forced me sign up for delivery. Then this! Insane

[Ankita Arvind @Ankster29]

Damn, never thought about this 🤯

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

It would be weird if I could flip through a phone and watch videos of my parents at any given month of their lives. But today's kids can almost do that, and tomorrow's will fully. They'll know younger versions of their parents (and grandparents) better than anyone in the past.

Happy Monday & Take care of your mind!

flies love getting inside a room and pretending they can’t get out. grow up

How to pay someone with the exact change:

1. Count it yourself, out loud, in front of them
2. Hand over what you know for sure is the exact amount and say “I think that’s right”
3. Wait for permission to leave

I was reading @TheKenWeb’s “aka-Ching” newsletter by @tam_arund and today they featured the most jaw-droppingly dark pattern from PayTM I have ever seen.

Let’s talk about this a bit.
