Good thinking. So we could add:

• social media mentions
• # of [new] subscribers who [first/]only watch/binge a given show

Dermatophagia - “one type of body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB)”

You’re welcome, Nuclear Noel

Yeah for whichever neighbor the extension cord is connected to

Apparently real (corporate link warning)

LOL lmk what your psych says about that

When you try it, make sure it’s in a domain where there is some chance of starting an international conflict

Good stuff.

Great ideas!

I think I do like (at least vibrations) back to back cuz I think I’ll subconsciously count them and kinda understand the scale of what I’ll find when I can check the phone… but how long could that option take to add, I wonder. Mayyyybe it’s the regression testing / interop testing that it complicates, generally speaking?

You sure that’s a strong enough punishment?

Very silly it can’t be disabled - why not hide some advanced settings deep in iOS somewhere? Guess only 1% of people ever complain…

Speaking of complaining! They do care about their little feedback form:

apple.com/feedback (/messages-ios-ipados.html)

What Android version are you on? Or perhaps which messaging app are you using?

Google started intercepting those reactions a couple of years ago. Do see if you can enable a "show iPhone reactions as emoji” option under some Advanced message settings.

Potato quality videos due to Apple’s absurdly greedy business practices may finally be resolved in iOS 18. s/o to Apple for waiting until European regulators turned the microscope on them to think about mitigating, amongst other things, some of the bullying the youngins get for “ruining” group chats by daring to have budget (or high-end but non-Apple) phones.

What would your ideal fix be? “Mute for one hour“, a prompt to pause notifications just for that chat until no sooner than audio is paused…?

Also would putting your phone on silent work? Maybe a “driving” focus mode if you’re on iOS where you allowlist only certain conversations…

([iOS] Nope can’t do that, maybe silent mode or muting that conversation it is… the latter of which can not be done with a shortcut!)

Room for improvement!

Blame Apple for letting the devs do it, blame the devs for not setting it up the other way around.

Wait, blame Apple for not giving users overrides in settings - I think that’s it. Let devs try to choose the best approach for their app with available options:

Then give users veto power.

(YouTube can keep pausing my music when I start to play a video, for example… 97% of the time that is, I’d very occasionally veto.)

It perplexes me why people alternate gunning it with braking so much on the highway.

Allowing a molecule of space in front of you at any time makes everybody late!!1

Gotta signal back right pretty quickly… you wanna give a truck the space it deserves and stay outta the blindspot, guy behind you assumes if you don’t move the moment your car technically physically fits that’s their cue to do so when theirs fits.

(Of course can be mitigated by overtaking with a little more gusto which is technically illegal - speed limit is the limit - buttttt…)

Peak gas car efficiency, one-pedal driving like it’s electric

Very true. Mentioned this elsewhere someone suggestion a large watermark:

I went a different route, though I avoided placing the callout somewhere it may be accidentally cropped.

I hope the, uh, non-disinformation can have a simple start here, and if we’re big enough some day that kind of thing is a problem maybe we re-adjust. Of course, nothing stopping someone from recreating something to their less-scrupulous heart’s delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of people’s knowledge and BS meters)

Ahh just can’t wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videos…

3.5 died on Arizona roads yesterday and 3.5 more will die today - think the robots will be safer than us someday?

Any idea of the recidivism rates vs. us here in the United Prison Industrial Complex of America?

Suppose both aight?

A drive-through or drive-thru (a sensational spelling of the word through), is a type of take-out service provided by a business that allows customers to purchase products without leaving their cars.

Sensational spelling is the deliberate spelling of a word in a non-standard way for special effect.
