@markdalgleish It feels so silly but honestly worth it. I like drinking out of an open mug and it was great to keep having hot coffee. Never tasted burned—even when I added milk. Also great for tea.

I did get some looks when I mentioned my coffee mug had a software update, though. 😅

@SwiftOnSecurity The next steps are that the scam responses are also AI generated and so the system automated itself.

@cnakazawa It felt a lot like a game that was designed by a team that hadn’t built open world games before and was hitting all the pitfalls.

Bad frame rates for characters at a certain distance. It slows to a halt in the 30+ Pokémon fight things.

It’s a fun game! But so visually busted.

Taco Bell is the only fast food place I roll up to with no ordering game plan. I just let the menu speak to me. The Bell will tell me what I need. My mouth may be moving but I am just the instrument of a supreme design.

I consider myself a train expert. Here are some tips on how to identify trains in the wild (northern California) based on their calls:

Ding ding ding dong - VTA 🚈
Chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO - Caltrain 🚅
Whispers of demons from deep within the Earth - BART 🚇

@AlexCox #coxmas Here ya go. My daily lock screen/Home Screen and then the sleep mode one since that’s what was actually active when I took the screenshots.

@AlexCox I love that there’s a single blank space.

@molly_struve Which isn’t to say that naming things what they are (right now) is bad, but: renaming things is hard either way; “fun names” can still be fun; and having a centralized place where you list the services and what they do is (imo) the most important piece.

[Drew @Dru89]

@molly_struve The problem I’ve seen with a “real names” approach is it leads to:
“Wait, where do we send push notifications again?”
“In the search service!”
“I—but why?”
“Because we already had all our indexing there, and we use that for xyz.”

In the end, everything still needs a lexicon.
