@JohnBrady “So much for that connection with nature.” — That felt like a very loaded moment in the review.

\n

When he was listing the reasons why enshittification is a feature not a bug, I had visions of the crazy buildup in the “Human Nature” video Two Birds did with the inused clips from their Wendell Berry film. If you haven’t paid to see those, this one from the superbowl has a similar though much less haunting effect.

@ReaderJohn I wouldn’t put it quite that bad, but you are not alone in noticing something. It used to be a time saver and a way to avoid “typing” on a buttonless screen, which I will always hate. Now it almost always requires corrections. Sometimes I just hit send and hope it’s close enough

@ablerism Wow. Thanks for this. Also reminds me of something I read in Peter Wayne Moe’s book Touching This Leviathan. He quotes the historian Philip Hoare: “It was only after we had seen the Earth from orbiting spaceships that the first free-swimming whale was photographed underwater. The first underwater footage of sperm whales, off the coast of Sri Lanka, was not taken until 1984; our images of these huge placid creatures moving gracefully and silently through the ocean are more recent than the use of personal computers.”
