@anildash Well, yeah, when you put it that way. At least it will be awful in a way we can't yet anticipate.

@seldo I think it has something to do with the antipodes.

@seldo Pre-ad Twitter was a lot like that. An interesting feature that was disabled (to give you a better experience doncha know) was that if you followed someone, you were able to see their @ replies to people you didn't follow. It was great for discovering friends of friends.

@Meyerweb Every time I use the Apple Music app, I imagine Apple engineers listening to Spotify as they work, cuz there's no way they're eating their own dogfood.

@shacker @Meyerweb If it works for you, that's great.For me, Music is a sluggish beast that loses my music.It takes well over 10 seconds to start up (I have 56,000 tracks, but c'mon)Why can't I use the Column Browser on Playlists? Why does everything have to look like a tile.Old iTunes was more responsive on PowerPC Mac than Music is on my M1 MBP.I took up Apple up on having them store my ripped tracks. Now I have a bunch of "No Longer Available" entries.

My partner has a total ban on news during Shabbat, which starts when she gets home from work on Friday. She said "I get that your practice is different than mine, but if you ask me one more time if I really want to wait until Saturday night to hear the news, I'm going to break the sixth commandment."#ShabbatShalom #Mazeldon

If you use Slack for work, do you follow non-work Slacks in the desktop app?

@MikeTRose Huh. I should look through the slacks I've joined over the years.Sometimes it's just too darn quiet working remotely.

@MikeTRose We had a land line because the phone-tv-internet package was cheaper than just internet alone. :shrug:Whenever that phone rang, we knew it was a wrong number or spam

@vees I have a work MBP (intel) and a personal MBP (M1). What's astonishing to me is the vast difference in battery life.

@vees I've done that, and I always come to the same conclusion: "I've been using this machine for months. I must've uninstalled it at some point."

@nelson look at the bright side: it's practically impossible for another file with the same name to exist
