Who’s your “we,” if you don’t mind sharing? I’m curious to learn more about companies/organizations with this perspective.

I had to turn off silent mode. I always forget that physical switch for games.

Then you may be interested in Gemini (or Gopher, or…) https://geminiquickst.art/

I’ve recently started hosting a Gemini capsule for myself, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. Browsing Geminispace has been very refreshing.

Kinda bummed that other threads here are focusing on how Gemini does not replace certain things we can do on the web like it’s a failure. I’d say it’s fine and good that the two have different capabilities!

In my experience, Gemini does not aspire to replace the web, but just to add a different internet experience for those who want the option.

(As you can tell, I still browse the web.)

I’m getting an imgur error page, but it seems this post is meant to be an image of a Google error page?

I’ve reached the error page of the image of the error page for the error page. We’re too deep.

I’m ready for the rebuttal post: “different clocks have different approaches to conveying information about seconds within a minute” which uses the same photos as examples.

FWIW, the discussion you linked came to my mind when I saw this one.

As a Chicago Bulls fan, this site seemed like a lot of effort to explain a very small shift in their jerseys. I’m happy to see the Bulls are a low-flair outlier, and it was cool to be able to switch teams to compare.

I’m working on a crossword app, with the intent to add “kaizo” elements, as a way to take any puzzle and add obstacles aside from the clues, which I hope will be fun. But I guess I won’t know until I try.

I have a little project page and a WIP demo here: https://crossobear.chadobear.world/

Typing this up, I realize I should stop fiddling with styles and implement some of my kaizo ideas to see how they feel to play with.

Here’s mine: https://youtube.com/@chadobear

I have a repo with some of the stuff I use to produce my videos, too: https://gitlab.com/crgk/chadobear-monorepo/-/tree/main/studi...

It’s very sloppy and hacky and maybe(?) more interesting to this audience than the videos themselves.

I love this comment. One of the worst feelings at my old job was putting a ton of effort into describing a problem, only for somebody else to recognize it as a known, studied thing that already has a name.

It’s really hard, in my experience, to come across the existing name for something while you’re still figuring out all the angles of a problem for yourself.

I recently started writing about my experience as a full-time caregiver, having recently left my software career: https://crawlwalkrunbook.substack.com. Striving for one post each week.

The MathLabs competition reminds me a lot of speedrunning progressions in video games. The routes and techniques used to complete a video game as fast as possible evolve as the speedrunning community shares videos of their record-setting runs. It's a really cool environment for developing the "technology" behind each speedrunning category, and I'd be fascinated to read analysis similar to this article.

Hey, thanks for writing these comments. I think these are great examples of how to talk about these topics without inviting more conflict or devolving into condescension.

Once you get wherever you wanted via train, you are now pretty much stuck at a train station.

So much of America is not walkable, and we don't have great public transportation within cities and towns, so if you arrive somewhere without a car there's not much for you to do.

edit: of course, ride sharing helps.

I think they just call it "typing" now. I had to look up what "touch typing" means. There isn't really an alternative; a person has to know qwerty to type, even swiping on a smartphone.

Great! I've already adapted this into my vocabulary. Definitely fills a void in how I think and talk about keeping software moving.
