@inthehands Oh, no. I know subsequent seasons were quite different to the first, but it felt like a story perfectly and completely told, for all characters.
Apple needs some line go up for their subscription service?

@inthehands @ned taking the time to write the correct amount of documentation. Future someone is high fiving past someone.
@inthehands "draft bill attached"
Should be the name of the documentary about this abject failure of our political process.
@wdlindsy Figures xenophobia would have a really soft, reasonable sounding political corollary like "nativism".
@inthehands you've been knocking it out of the park with these threads, can't agree more.
@mekkaokereke @nixCraft I guess, being charitable, it might depend on what we mean by "influencers"?
Down thread, you made a great point about Molly White and MKBHD. Passionate, clever people with interesting content. They know their fields.
I suppose there are others who "influence for the sake of influencing", for want of a better way to articulate it. I don't want to say grifters, but I don't see them necessarily as SMEs, and we've seen in the news some swayed for cash in this election.
@skinnylatte that's right, invite folks to sign up for another credit card because their credit is good, which tanks the credit rating they need to not be penalized.
Yeah, sure, I'll go through the awkward process of signing up for a credit card while I'm standing in line to check out to save 10 bucks on this purchase. Every time I check out. That definitely scales.
@inthehands I've never thought of it that way, but you're right. Ostensibly clean, but they hide the non intuitive complexity. Plus, for the sake of appearing to be new (and sell devices), I think there's impetus to keep fiddling with it.
After I replied earlier, I was reminded of how consistent the Xbox user interface has been (after they shed the silly Windows 8 look). Probably for close to a decade now. I assume the PlayStation is similar.
@inthehands I think we've hidden so much behind clean user interfaces now. Well, and clean hardware too, devoid of mechanical inputs. If I remember correctly, early iOS made quite clear which on screen elements you interacted with. Websites of the era similarly so.
And not only are we hiding stuff, but we keep altering the paradigm. Burger menu? Sure, lot of people now familiar with it (and a waffle, etc). But Google is moving away from that now.
Minimalism has set us back, I reckon.
@jenniferplusplus it shutting down was a reminder of all of those other things they failed to do. And another paper cut, hot on the heels of the AI sidebar, opt-out ad stuff and the AccuWeather widget.
@botwikirandomfediverse Uh oh, this one sounds handy but it no longer appears to exist, @stefan . Or at least, I get a not found when I click on the bot's name.
@kissane with the caveat that back in the day I moved from FF to the shiny new Chrome, thus contributing to its unchecked dominance and bullying, was there anything we could have done to prevent this? Talk of offsetting the absurd funding gap (i.e., whatever Google pays them) may be moot at this point, but it could help future projects like Servo.
@inthehands @aubilenon wait... Walz was addicted to his Dreamcast?
We're going to need a wholesome-o-meter which goes up past 11 for this guy.
@mcc @not2b @glyph this may have been mentioned sorry, but it'll be interesting to see how they square these "AI" with GDPR's right to understand how an automated decision was made.
Maybe they just won't be used, or will somehow blag that "thing goes in, decision comes out" is sufficient explanation.
For those lucky enough to be protected by such laws, of course.
@foone Huh. Can any modem OS actually go further back than, say, the beginning of unix time?
@inthehands /giphy Jeff goldblum Jurassic Park just because you can do a thing
@inthehands saw someone else mention the forthcoming "accuracy debt", presumably a play on technical debt. I don't know what will catch on, but we certainly need a good way to describe it.
@mekkaokereke Done! Although I went directly to the state SoS site using links at the bottom of that site, rather that submit my name, address, etc.
