Moving onto greener (or bluer) pastures now since this place is irretrievably condemned. It’s been real. If you want to reach me, I’m over at Bl*sky with the same username: https://t.co/U5MB6JLOkP…
@geoffreylitt This is an ultra anti-pattern of the last 10-15 years: prioritize design to make something approachable upon first seeing it, but less how the user uses it over time; result being a very low local maxima for how much someone can do with it. The above is the inverse.
@maticrobots One other question: I’m assuming that Matic has the ability to know when its waste bag is full? The lack of a bin sensor on Roborock’s robots is one of their most significant issues.
@maticrobots How do you feel the experience is filling up its onboard water tank vs filling up a Roborock’s dock water tank? Roborock I need to fill up every couple days; seems like Matic for our house would be daily (but no need to empty the dirty water tank, which is nice)?
@maticrobots (Also, to fanboy for a second: I love what you’ve done with Matic, both as someone in technology/AI and product design, and as a vacuum robot addict. It’s refreshing to see such thought put into product design in this space as evidenced by your reply.)
@geoffreylitt Jumping out of my Twitter hiatus for this, but thoughts. I’ve found that going on walks without bringing your phone (but still being in touch bc of the Watch) is really nice. I don’t miss it and I have no temptation bc it isn’t there.
If the phone is around you’ll still use it.
@JDVance When a president attempts to gut a bedrock amendment for our rights and society, pardons the criminals he directed to attack Congress, and tries to take control of spending power from Congress, he is a would-be autocrat. And you’re his pathetic little hype man.
@levie Or maybe it was pardoning the mob he directed to attack Congress while they certified his defeat in the 2020 election in an attempt to seize power. Maybe that’s what secured the investment? What do you think?
@Gok@tszzl Most non Rs or R-leaning independents appreciate the effort to create useful Covid-19 vaccines rapidly. Much of the right, on the other hand, are on the spectrum of “they’re worthless and shouldn’t have been required” <-> “they killed a lot of people” <-> “Gates chipped us”
@Patterico One can read this election in a less negative way (reaction against inflation, pandemic), which I think is correct, but even in that reading the American people see maintaining our republic as less important than punishing an incumbent, or can’t see Trump for what he is. Dark.
I'm cautious about sayihg what I really feel right now, especially on this platform, because I know it would be mocked. And that, itself, is a symptom of what I see, the glee that many now take in other Americans' sadness and fear. We are remaking ourselves in his image.
