@thomasfuchs I’ll be in Sedona and Tucson in two weeks, and I can’t wait.
(I worry more about the dry than the lack of life. And the Altoona Sedona.)

@mmasnick @mathowie same. I will probably take a look at it. But man I really don’t want an SUV, especially one with the huge vertical front. They are less functional in every way. And I don’t need the testosterone injections that apparently come standard with all of them.
@mathowie @mmasnick I was wondering the same thing. Thanks.
I’d love a three row electric car, and this is nearly the only one. But… it’s so damn big.
I just want a fully electric Toyota sienna with a 300-350 range. Is that so hard?
Sure, I’d love it if it were fast and handled well. But I have one of those. Now I need a people mover. Eager to move on my sprinter camper van, but… for what?
@luckytran also… “half of all gen-z wash hands almost every time they use the bathroom or eat”?
Ten times daily is not very often, if you just do that.
@thomasfuchs from back in the before-times, when it was obvious which button would activate when you hit ‘return’, and most dialogs actually had a default.
@jwildeboer @krisbuytaert “legacy”, or as we call it, “production”
@thomasfuchs sounds about right 🤷♂️
@mekkaokereke soccer is the only sport I know anything about. And for that, it’s easy to explain why women’s soccer is having to work so hard to catch up: it was effectively banned for 50 years by basically every national football organization, because it was threatening the men’s game:
It seems like there’s a conspiracy against women’s sports because there is, and always has been.
@thomasfuchs @siracusa @TechConnectify @Drwave specifically the tri-ply stuff like All-Clad - the steel and aluminum vibrate at slightly different frequencies, which results in the singing
@thomasfuchs no
@thomasfuchs negative three tries: you have to make three tries to find a cable that works
@thomasfuchs that’s pretty hilarious. I could see playing it back then. (Well. I was 4 when it came out. But, maybe a bit later.)
@thomasfuchs I had no idea Temple of Apshai existed. I played the sequel, Gateway to Apshai, as maybe the first video game I remember playing at home. It feels like a lot of adventure and RPG games are just me trying to recreate that experience.
(Just like all the metroidvania games are just trying to recreate the Lode Runner experience, which I played around the same time.)
@thomasfuchs well, unlike the Touvhbar, I will bet money they actually update the hardware and software for the Vision.
Doesn’t guarantee success. But completely abandoning the Touchbar helped guarantee failure
@phiofx I agree at the high level. But it’s already changing at the edges. And that gives me some home it might change in the middle sometime soon
An interesting, painfully comprehensive look into search engine quality. Spoiler: all are bad, and the commercial ones are really bad. Which you already knew.
How bad are search results? Let's compare Google, Bing, Marginalia, Kagi, Mwmbl, and ChatGPT https://danluu.com/seo-spam/
@thomasfuchs there’s an unfortunate ambiguity in that phrasing.
How about “I’ll wear a fucking mask so I won’t kill or maim myself or other people”.
Otherwise it’s hard to tell if the mask is killing, or preventing it.
Stupid English.
@thomasfuchs I was perfectly healthy, but with multiple (usually latent, like my heart problem) long term issues. I.E., I thought I was healthy, but was set up for failure.
@thomasfuchs I *think* that’s what happened to me. I have a bunch of minor life long issues, but they all got cranked to 10 in October 2020. My only theory is that I got asymptomatic Covid, which then gave me long COVID. (I’ve been mostly disabled since then.)
I feel *more* vulnerable, but others are way less vulnerable.
Those not vulnerable people will be the influencers who will be platformed, telling everyone it’s not dangerous. IMO, messaging has to take that into account
@thomasfuchs again, I don’t think that’s true. I don’t know it, but what I’ve read seems to indicate it. E.G., I have ehler’s danlos syndrome, which is a collagen deficiency, and people with issues like this seem to be a huge chunk of people getting long covid.
It looks like there’s a solid chance you need some underlying issue to get long covid. That means some people can “safely” get sick again and again, while others get hit because of some issue they did not know they had.
