How can Siri still be so bad? It doesn’t make any sense. The technology is there. They have unlimited money to pay the right people…and yet…it is the single worst technology product. It is humiliating to use

@anon_opin 1) Limited edition items that are otherwise hard to get
2) Last second needs for meetings/events/gifts/etc…

@bridgerald @DolphinMossad to be clear, I’m saying that her specific criticisms of Mormonism had nothing to do with Christianity.

[Dan James @ATTlKA]

@ryanburge Classifying Anglicans as Catholics is probably equally wild as classifying Mormons as Christians would be. Weird decision there.

Women talk to their friends like "omg bestie ilysm I'd kill for you" and men just go "bro you're ultimately just a pawn in my grand scheme"

Just learned:

Software engineers used to do manual data labeling at Scale AI while Alex Wang was CEO. After he left, new leadership joined, and were HORRIFIED to learn this. Stopped it ASAP

Now at Meta, software engineers are assigned manual data labeling... see the pattern?

I actually just missed my flight to London because of these kiosks.

Now I’m several hours into dealing with @AmericanAir’s support team trying to find every possible way to ensure I never leave this airport.

Another example of extreme cost saving

My 84 yo grandma and mom had to fly from the Vienna airport today

The airport replaced almost all luggage check-in desks with self check-in

The guidelines are extremely confusing and there is only one overworked person helping people out

You have to figure out how to get the boarding pass, scan it, get a ticket for the luggage, attach it and then hand it over to the moving feed

I’m sure if I wasn’t around my mom and grandma wouldn’t be able to do all the steps and would have missed the flight

What did the passengers get for the cost savings of the airport? Nothing.

Prices in the stores are still insanely high and the ticket prices also didn’t decrease a notch

I’m a fan of automatisation and always choose self-service options when possible cz humans don’t have to do stupid work

But automatisation should improve the UX and make things more convenient and fast, not more complicated and confusing

Man those murals were such a sight to see.

I hadn’t actually listened to the full body cam footage of police helping kill Henry Nowak until I went running this afternoon.

I felt sick to my stomach after. A completely innocent person sacrificed at the altar of intersectional nonsense that assumed he had to be guilty.

no, it’s moreso that American states have outright entirely different ethnic and cultural makeups that often predate the country’s founding.

A category like Mexican food or seafood in different states often means something *so different* that it may as well be foreign cuisine, for instance

@radbackwards we’re really overdue for cyberpunk 2077 style corpo wars with various corporate intel, counterintel and espionage teams running Cold War level ops

@nickshanks_ I immediately remembered what “bacon” means to everyone but americans (ham)

[Dan James @ATTlKA]

ordered a bacon cheeseburger in London and what happened next will probably not shock you

@Morgue_XiiV I’m just trying to cover all the bases here man

[Dan James @ATTlKA]

@southevropa the average european dresses as badly as the average american, and potentially worse, recently

The top ~10% euros are definitely far more stylish than the top ~10% americans

You guys need some self awareness on just how aesthetically garish euro overculture has been recently

@nhalebeed neither native nyc or sf crowds care about this

A lot of the transplant/striver class that usually infests NYC has migrated to SF for the AI cycle. We don’t like them either and can’t wait for them to leave.
