Every AI-driven features ad I’ve seen is about being deceptive in some way.

@StravaSupport Hi Kimberly, this isn't a help request. It's a bug report. I don't need to speak to an agent, which I why I posted here. I'd rather not spend time with an agent just to file a quick bug. There doesn't appear to be a way to do that!

@StravaSupport sometime in 2024 (I believe) you updated your Apple Watch app, so now the lower left corner can clip part of the leftmost mileage numeral when recording a bike ride on a Series 9 (41mm). Which isn't great when riding! Any chance you'll fix this?

How incompetent does a rich guy have to be to fail this hard at having sex with a porn star?

So it turns out that @LendingTree is just a giant dealership and funder spam factory. This is within 24 hours of an online quote for a car loan, just to get a sense of rates, etc. 100% not worth it.

@gruber isn’t the Coates photo just a panorama photo trick? Or am I missing something?

Wirt and Enoch from ‘Over the Garden Wall’. The kid knocked their costume out of the park, so I felt I had to step up with the decorations.

It’s amazing how incoherently bad the @SEPTA train announcements and digital signage are at 30th St. Literally reversed from the actual train arrivals. And of course train placards aren’t reliable too, so I watched my train come and go with no idea. An hour until the next one.

When are organizations going to realize that mobilizing your staff to engage the public on the street in their area is a good idea, but hiring randos to effectively engage in sponsored panhandling is maybe not?

Please, @drink_AG1 make ordering travel packs less of a Byzantine process of figuring out how to manipulate my subscription orders. Man oh man was it hard to figure out how to conduct the most basic of transactions: send me something just once, right now.

Link Previews in Apple Mail on macOS are the TouchBar of email UX decisions. No one asked for them, no one needs them, and they don't even do what they're meant to with any level of Apple polish. Like, I can't even properly copy and paste one inside of the same email.

I was just told by a chat support person at @nytimes that the way to be rid of that cursed app pop-over is to… install and uninstall the app. I wonder how much bad data they’re getting on app install rates based on this ill-advised pester tactic targeting their subscribers.

I try not to be this guy, because I’m of modest athletic distinction at best, but I’m proud of my 2022 improvement over 2021 and today’s ride was just perfect.

Just heard an announcement on @amtrak train into NYC that monthly and 10-ride ticket holders will be forced to stand if they don’t reserve seats ahead of time. But they also limit the seats that can be reserved on the train. What a stupid way to treat repeat customers.
