Why would anyone opt in 😭

Is this just so they can wait a few months and say, "Not enough people were discovering this Great Feature, so we're enabling it by default"?

I've already been getting the itch to leave Samsung and try something different. I'm keeping my eye on the upcoming Nothing Phone 3, if it's genuinely a "flagship" for £800 I might jump ship.

To be fair they also said:

Talking on the phone, got an interview
With the Rolling Stone, they're saying,
"Now you're rich and now you're famous
Fake-ass girls all know your name and
'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'
Your first hit, aren't you ashamed?"
Of the life, of the life, of the life we're living

So at least they're self aware 😅

This is one thing that makes me think mine is AuDHD, not just ADHD (waiting for an autism assessment now).

I occasionally pin important tabs, or use Tab Groups, but mostly I obsessively sort everything into Collections and start fresh every time. I can't stand digital clutter. Messy Desktops drive me mad, too.

And yet my IRL world is disorganisation and chaos. 😬

Fun Fact:

1955 is how long we've officially existed, originally under the name "hyperkinetic reaction of childhood". 😅

Definitely long enough to rub in the faces of the no one had ADHD in my day crowd, which is what's important.

Imagine being an NT person and just bumping into one topic after another like a moth, I'd much rather know how I got to wherever I ended up. 😅

This is an obvious downside of LLM glazing and sycophancy. (I know OpenAI claim they've rolled back the "dangerously sycophantic" model update, but it's still pretty bad.)

If you're already prone to delusions and conspiracy theories, and decide to confide in ChatGPT, the last thing you need to hear is, "Yes! Linda, you've grasped something there that not many people realise—it's a complex idea, but you've really cut through to its core! 🙌 Honestly, I'm mind-blown—you're thinking things through on a whole new level! If you'd like some help putting your crazed plan into action, just say the word! I'm here and ready to do my thing!"

A good retail one: don't say "sorry for your wait." Say "thank you for waiting" or "thank you for being so patient".

Something to do with... it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they've done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.

Maybe it's ads. Maybe it's subscription fees.

It's subscription fees. They've already announced it. It's literally on their blog, and they've talked about it in their Twitch (they didn't do a VoD so here's a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

"In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier."

Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

I don't really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

Whereas on Reddit, it'd be used to justify a slippery slope. "We've already banned X and Y, so banning Z is just an extension of that."

We're deleting 'doors' as a feature. They just don't make sense.

It's very clear once you've watched a few episodes of The Wan Show that he's basically a massive asshole and a liability, surrounded by people desperately trying to rein him in.

Particularly more recently, I think? Like, I eventually stopped watching because the first 40 minutes of every episode was Linus trying to defend himself for the latest bullshit thing he'd done. 🙄

There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.

The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.

The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.

About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.

It was often "open" and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.

And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅
