maybe it can be configured in their bespoke app. maybe i'll never know. "if you want this device to do its exact function when you use it instead of doing it seconds later, then run this closed-source software on your personal device." how did we get here?

[Mason Cree @MasonCree]

can we skip ahead to the point where the novelty has worn off about animating/transitioning every single interaction with every device/site? looking like a 2003 powerpoint presentation cannot be the pinnacle of UX design in the 2020s. surely we can do better?

just had some "smart" light switches installed, and their default behavior is to faaaaaadddddeeeee the lights on and off. it's more than two full seconds after hitting the off switch before the lights are actually off.

Phone call I just had canceling Spectrum service...
Them: and the reason for canceling?
Me: because your company is criminal, immoral, and malicious.
There were no follow-up questions 😂 The call was surprisingly pleasant and simple after the 20+ minute queue

(2/2) I'd like to think it's a commentary on how we should maintain our close relationships, even if the other person believes passionately in something with which we disagree or feel there isn't sufficient public evidence to prove.

(1/2) I rewatched the @jonstewart @colbertlateshow virus origin rant after reading one interpretation from Forbes (https://t.co/OdgfI90SpY), and I'm still not sure what to make of it.

https://t.co/x6l9oBWeSQ Until You Fall is some of the most fun I've had in VR to date (other than Beat Saber). Rogue-lite with satisfying melee combat. Here's a great summary/review of the game: https://t.co/w1k92FJnFx

Disk Space Cleanup Manager for Windows wants to phone home to Microsoft? No thanks. I don't know what it actually wants to do, but it sure seems like it wants to tell Microsoft about the files I've got on my computer. Creepy.

@nvidia @NVIDIAGeForce Your graphics driver updating software requires me to create an account? No. Kindly get bent.

Whoever it is in the Rochester area that's dreaming of a white Easter, I would ask that you kindly stop.

Me: ... hard pass

It's still 2019 and I'm already sick of the "20/20 vision" joke
