seeing some new faces here! welcome. here are the ground rules:
- there are none. there is no “using it wrong”.
- use content warnings however you want (or not at all)
- ignore tone policing. it can get a bit much, so…
- …if someone gives you the ick, block ‘em.

our time is short and valuable — there’s no point in spending some of it letting some dude hound you in replies for not calling Twitter “the bird site”. that guy sucks.

enjoy your stay besties ☺️✌️✨

what was your first itunes download? mine was So In Love by Jarvis, the soundtrack to that “If you don't have an iPhone" campaign at the time. purchased september 30, 2011 at 5:52 PM.

@samhenrigold First actual purchase was Don't Blame the World It's the DJ's Fault by Cobra Starship, September 3, 2011 at 7:55 AM 💀

Kev Kitchens

@samhenrigold Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, and it's still a great song too

I never bought any digital music ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

addicted to em dashes — it’s not good.

Brandon Horst

@samhenrigold Booooooo if you’re fancy enough to use emdashes, you gotta be fancy enough to not put spaces around them.

does "perceived performance" include over-stimulating the user while something loads?

🏡💸 Sam's Personal Finance Tip of the Day

Shocked by the crazy mortgage interest rates? Purchase your house using AfterPay — they won't notice and there's 0% interest!

for me, siri works perfectly fine. i think people are asking too much of it. here’s what it does flawlessly:
- turns on and off smart lights
- sets a timer
- tells me if a celebrity is still alive

and now ppl expect it to play music?? on spotify?! lower your expectations. ask if jimmy carter is still alive and be grateful that you can get that much info from it.

It would be nice if I could shout at it from across the room and it would read my notifications aloud. Unfortunately, this feature, that I consider most important, does not exist. If I have to touch the device anyway, why would I use voice to control it?

Michael Bond

@samhenrigold Honestly it doesn’t even do those things reliably for us.

I know adobe is a train wreck but my college gives me a free subscrippy and by golly (sorry for cussing) I'm gonna use it. The generative fill tool in Photoshop is the most seamless implementation I've seen yet for compositing generated art with existing photos. I made a "conversation pool" in, like, 5 minutes.

Castleyard by Marriott ARE YOU SEEING HOW FUN THIS IS?!

Brian King

@samhenrigold I’ve never used a part of the CC subscription that’s allocated to me (Pixelmator Pro is my ride-or-die), but this is really tempting.

Sam Gross

@samhenrigold I’m very long generative art steered by artists for exactly this reason.

AI could never generate that image without your sick, twisted mind.

Various things are occurring (quite often, I might add) and, frankly, I'm not Live Laugh Loving it.

I've gotta say, boycotting Reddit has been *way* more difficult than my Twitter boycott. I gravely underestimated how often I go to Reddit for everything from product reviews, public opinion on something, news discussions. I really don't wanna cross the digital picket line but jesus christ I just want to find unbiased opinions on an air fryer I'm looking at buying.

@samhenrigold Same for me! I miss the hell out of AITA

D. Griffin Jones

@samhenrigold I really miss going to a TV show-specific subreddit and reading episode comments…

dandoron

@samhenrigold I mean… 👋🏻 With one are you looking at? Maybe one of us has it or knows someone who does.

A standup comedian goes out on stage, asks “how’s everyone doing?” and the audience replies, in unison, “doing well, thanks”
