Love the errata:
I found out about the data stream from https://iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/, which has considerably more and more interesting stats than just how full the piss tank is.
I will not be adding any of them

Not overnight. The merge took 10 days, otherwise it wouldn't be perfect.

I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was.
There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don't refer to it in any way.

No, it's because of billionaires that hoard more money than 1000 people could reasonably spend in a lifetime.

If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7
I was reading a book the other day, a science fiction book from 2002 (Kiln People), and the main character is a detective. At one point, he asks his house AI to call the law enforcement lieutenant at 2 am. His AI warns him that he will likely be sleeping and won't enjoy being woken. The mc insists, and the AI says ok, but I will have to negotiate with his house AI about the urgency of the matter.
Imagine that. Someone calls you at 2 am, and instead of you being woken by the ringing or not answering because the phone was on mute, the AI actually does something useful and tries to determine if the matter is important enough to wake you.

Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content.
True. I also wanted a senior mode on Apple family groups.

Like my parent's Amazon Echo with "Ask me what famous person was born this day."
Like, if you know that, just put it up on the screen. But the assistant doesn't work for you. Amazon just wants your voice to train their software.

I assume after being locked up long enough, people will agree to anything to go outside for a little while, and vary their routine.

There could be a debuff called "wishy washy", it increases your childlike wonder, but lowers your gumption.

This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area
Reply in thread
In Brazil, it's pretty common for the employer to pay your transit fare to/from work. Often you can receive the same value directly instead if you choose to use another form of transportation.

I don't agree. To me it is like trying to make water cleaner but mixing it with contaminated water.

Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means you're threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.

But not for lack of choice, that's the point here.

The four horsemen of shitty chat apps
For a while back then, I thought XMPP was going to solve integration between messaging apps. I even wrote a "serverless" multi-player game in college that used a chatroom as a link between game instances.
