Your point about inflation is such a clear observation that it seems self-evident, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen decline in product quality linked explicitly to causing skewed inflation numbers (and even skewed productivity numbers) before. Would be fun to see a same-quality inflation index, as tricky as that would be.

I took it as more like, people might kinda think to themselves, “this shirt was made by my friend with time and love instead of just, you know, coming off the production line” as if mass produced clothing is just made by some big corporate machine. But of course someone somewhere is actually putting in work to make a shirt for you, always.

Sora is here 2 years ago

It’s often wrong anyway. Much like you, the thing that annoys me most about it though is all the power they must be using having it run on every single search by anyone.

When I used it a few years ago it was still possible to use without an account if you knew the exact extremely-hidden-behind-dark-patterns steps, much like making a local account in Windows these days. But from the other comments in this thread I get the impression that even that tricky process is no longer an option.

I don’t know much about how the fediverse thing works. Would it be theoretically possible to have something kind of like how torrents work, with some central list of all servers acting as the “tracker list”?:

- Servers choose what they want to host and what their personal bandwidth limit is

- A user visiting a specific subforum automatically downloads from whatever servers are currently available to serve it

Then you’d never have to manually choose a server.

Haha, okay good point, what I proposed is pretty much an overly complex ladder isn’t it. In my defence, unlike a ladder it would allow you to stand straight up and - as the other comment mentioned - use your arms for other things.

I wonder if a faster solution for more able-bodied people would be, instead of having a platform for sitting and a platform for standing, you could have two small platforms, one for each foot.

It’d be essentially like walking up stairs, but on the spot.
