  • modernity is stupid: a rant not about politics | The Roof is on Phire
    Notes
    The only reason I even moved to Omnivore is because Mozilla has been systematically neglecting and underfunding Pocket for years and the app is increasingly dominated by things I did not save, the literal one job it had, and I had moved to Pocket after Instapaper first changed ownership in 2013 or whatever and I didn’t like the new owners, and I also can’t go back to Pinboard because while I used to love that dude’s writing he’s turned into a transphobic asshole crank so fuck him, but like, why do I even know that?? Why do I know what Maciej thinks?? Why do I know that DHH is a fucking creep and a weirdo which is why I will never pay for their email service which otherwise seems pretty cool, why do I know that Brave is the homophobic browser in bed with cryptocurrency bros, why do I know that the Kagi dude thinks adding suicide prevention hotlines to search results for “how to kill yourself” is censorship, why do I know about Matt Mullendweeb’s entire existence?? The modern world is unbelievably stupid, and if you don’t pay attention to the stupidity when something bad happens someone shows up in your notifications all like, well what did you expect. I expect you to fuck off!!

Let's start with the obvious.

    Notes
    "instead of a description of what he calls Telephone 3.0, he delivers an entertaining and typically forthright argument in favor of anger and its power to drive innovation."

    Notes
    "Do you really need a stats program that uses AJAX, just because it uses what is currently an "in" technology to use and is made by Shaun Inman. When there are hundreds of other stat tracking applications out there?"
