OK Knicks

The Knicks are on an epic losing streak. This feels very normal. Let the trades begin. Maybe if we ask nice, Thibs will return? And isn't it funny these days KAT makes Randle look pretty good. Sort of a bonus for the Minneapolis team, which is playing NBA in a war zone.

Time for Knicks fans to get out the paper bags.

The guy in the lower right of that picture has the canonical look of a Knicks fan wondering when it will all end.

After Google Reader, folks asked me about building an open API for feed syncing, given my history with Tweet Marker. I didn’t work on it because I wanted to focus on indie microblogging. But it was inevitable that eventually Micro.blog would have something. Like Apple having both Pages and Numbers.

The Iconfactory is out with a new Kickstarter campaign! Nice pitch:

We all need a way to unplug from time to time - the world’s gone off the rails and no amount of doomscrolling is fixing it. That’s one of the reasons we created Ollie’s Arcade - to be a pixelated place to take refuge from the real world and enjoy some simple, fun old-school arcade games on your iPhone or iPad.

Lowering the specificity of multiple rules at once - Manuel Matuzovic

This is clever, and seems obvious in hindsight: use an anonymous @layer for your CSS reset rules!

Typed index card that reads: REASON #58 FOR KEEPING A COMMONPLACE OR ZETTELKASTEN | THE OFFICE, "Performance Review", Season 2, Episode 8 | Context: Hapless branch manager Michael Scott is under the gun from corporate to demonstrate his value and show his work and share his ideas, which he hasn't done and can't provide. | MICHAEL: Pam, I have ideas on a daily basis. I know I do. I have a clear memory of telling people my ideas. Um, is there any chance that you wrote any of my ideas down in a folder---like an idea folder? PAM: Sorry. MICHAEL: That's unfortunate. How about the suggestion box? There's tons of ideas in there.

Over the last year I’ve become hyper-sensitive to extremism. The lesson from Trumpism should be to do the opposite of whatever he does. Less hate, less judgement, less bullying. More empathy. I’m hopeful that whoever picks up leadership of the Democratic party will understand this. 🇺🇸

Matt Mullenweg blogged about Scott Adams, trying to reconcile good memories of Dilbert with later racist comments:

When I was younger, I used to have a more binary view of people, but as I’ve grown, read a ton of biographies, seen the press cycles, and been lucky enough to meet some idols and villains, I’ve become much more comfortable taking everyone as a flawed human being.

Nuance here is difficult because we shouldn’t downplay hurtful comments with a “both sides”-style argument. Sometimes we must draw a line. Still, I agree we should avoid reducing people to a single moment.

My short posts tend to cut corners so they flow a little more like informal thoughts. I wonder if I’ll one day regret all the intentional comma splices. The semicolon is sitting right there yet I reserve it for only the rare sentence, like it’s sacred punctuation that will draw attention to itself.

AI Psychosis

One of the most concerning trends I’ve seen is that, as people adopt AI, it captures those for whom it was designed. That previous sentence went through several revisions at various layers of intelligence… the spell-checker, grammar-checker, Grammarly, Harper, maybe more, all attacking the words that spill from my divine intelligence and then interact with … Continue reading AI Psychosis

Nice new micro app from @mattbirchler: Quick Stuff, for making App Store screenshots. If you look at any of my apps, the screenshots are always way out of date. I’d rather improve the apps than fiddle with screenshot sizes.

I got a text from Matt recommending Claude Code, saying it's as new as ChatGPT was when it came out.

I enjoy visiting Apple’s home page every January to see the update for Martin Luther King Jr. They don’t reuse the same quotes and photos from last year, it’s always something a little new. Maybe I’ve lost faith in Tim Cook — see the bonus episode of Core Int — but this tribute still feels genuine.

Screen shot: Twitter did what I have been begging all the others to do. Get rid of the character limit and allow for simple styling, links, optional titles, the ability to edit, basically the writing functions of the world wide web. You can also put a nice Medium-like picture at the top. Twitter was started in 2006 which according to my records is approximately twenty freaking years ago! I mean geez how long does it take?

I took a couple of falls on ice the other day, during one of the many snowstorms we've had, and both times my watch, after a polite pause, shook my wrist, asking if I just took a fall and should it call in an emergency? if you don't do anything it makes the call. In that sense, Your watch could beep when someone is gaslighting the other person. If it was you gaslighting them you'd see your avatar on the screen. Of it's them, you can show it to them.

I'd like to see a social network that had an AI filter that only showed comments that were responsive to the question raised by the post they're responding to. BTW we need some technical terminology for socializing online. When I reply to a post, what do we call the post I'm replying to? Remember there's a human quality to this too, you're not just talking about something on a computer, but an actual person.
