      • I still have a cold but it was slightly better.
      • I checked with the [[dentist]] and they didn't mind (I tested negative for Covid yesterday), so I went ahead and I'm happy with the results!

  • Tuesday, 10/17/23 ** 17:23 Ads are good because they make services frustrating enough to put down after a period of time. YouTube is too seamless without ads - video after video after video can autoplay without interruption, without someone screaming at you to download Clash of Cocks or Warfare Game 3 ** 17:45 I like that websites are apps that change every time you visit them. I like that they can be good or bad or based on trust. Websites are more about the people who maintain them than programs are - programs work one way forever, but websites you connect to. As an internet user, you open your TCP socket to accept their connection, listening to server updates live that they choose to push; maybe they've set things up for you, or maybe they're pushing chat messages to you live, facilitating conversations with friends or emojis or more. Websites feel so dynamic, so alive; they'll keep changing and changing and changing forever so long as someone is there to look after them. ** 17:48 On making money - you don't get to choose your struggle - the circumstances of the world at the time pick the best tool for you to provide value to others. It's your job to find enjoyment in it. ** 19:50 Every TopGolf looks the same and is big enough to obscure reality outside of the place - absurd for somewhere so big. When you are in Top Golf, you are not in Arizona or Brooklyn or Portland or California or Massachusetts. You are in transit
