software probably really did peak with hypercard

I'm experimenting with Decker (beyondloom.com/decker) in order to create some e-zines. This first one will draw on a lot of themes from my blog and bluesky posts and those of many others. Most of the thinking will likely look familiar to you.

i really love to masticate

more fun leaflets coming soon i promise!

wait... nano banana is really good

competitor coming up with a name for their product: what if word was perfect?

whoever named Microsoft Word has gotta be the laziest mf alive

thinking about this post again

i like claude now

i promise im working on another one i just keep getting busy and putting off writing

my type of trolling is posting radical communist proclamations on my linkedin

@laurenshof.online because i have leaflet reader pinned every time i log on here my whole feed is you and i love it lol

the day is not so far from now when i come back on here like properly as an active person

here get tortured beyondloom.com/llama/acrost...

having a nuanced position on AI means being in the minority in any conversation I have about the topic. with the more anti crowds one has to be the pro-AI pushback and vice versa; neither is particularly more satisfying than the other. the only gratification is knowing you're more right than either

hey chat what do we think about Google Antigravity? it looks like it does some new and interesting things but I haven't tried it yet

hi hello! what's everyone been up to?

computer, kill him!

"anti-communism week"? are we serious?

sigh i keep pissing people off without meaning to

i get why we passed prop 50 but it irritates me that we're literally giving the legislature the power to gerrymander

the ship of theseus is about gender if you think about it too hard

so im picking up murmurs of some kind of discourse around. what. decentralization? data portability? moderation? etc, again? what's going on exactly? a quick rundown would be nice

whats up chat

the offlinemaxxing naturecel has logged on

for you algorithm is so good. nicely done @spacecowboy17.bsky.social

likes are fairly useless interactions i think. i have a strong preference for replies. that said i do think they serve as a good way to indicate appreciation when a full reply is unwarranted but i think they are overly used as a social indicator

i hate what youtube has done to their UI what the hell

Cooking up the worst API of all time

i have yet to be in a situation where image or video generation would be useful (or high quality enough to be useful)

my new favorite mac app

read receipts are also a mistake. same with online/offline status. we could all do with having a little less information

"following" should have always been a private activity, like subscribing to an rss feed. follow counts are a mistake. honestly, most global counts are. the fedi people got that right, albeit accidentally

notifications are a mistake. convince me otherwise.

you are reading this bluesky post.

stop thinking about things. focus.

i dont even care anymore this is just cringe thats all there is to say
