I don’t know why it took me so long to watch this, but I’m glad I finally got around to it. Very enjoyable even though I kept thinking, “Is this the Matrix?\"

@marcoarment I appreciate the post and discussing the struggles with ADHD. While I didn’t have issues when I was younger, I definitely put myself in the undiagnosed camp as an adult. I’ve been using and liking Finalist, but will give this a try. I prefer dedicated apps.

@manton the changes to the HomePods and Apple TV don’t sit well with me. I know there’s internal storage on the Apple TV that’s being impacted by the craziness, but it’s still 6 year old hardware. $200 is steep.

@padresj.bsky.social Don’t let the rest of the GOP off the hook. It was enacted by Elon with the applause of hundreds of sycophants who have shielded themselves from any impacts of their decisions.

@manton I was very confused when I saw it and still am! I’m Apple Music first so thankfully I rarely see it.

@tg reading this was extremely validating. Leaving Instagram, Twitter (years ago), and weening off Reddit (slowly). Diving back into RSS and setting up a micro.blog has brought back to what made me love the internet. The tinkering and exploring. Long live the boring web.
