People are starting to crave "slow media:" less hectic, less frenzied.

The "World by Charlie" videos are a good example:

(As @milkkarten.bsky.social says, it's "More Mister Rogers, less Mr. Beast").

Very interesting article. Speaks a lot to some of my thoughts related to AI usage with software development.

@quickbooksca.bsky.social so glad to get yet another price increase notice when I’ve yet to get a bug fix or new feature in the last three years. I’m shopping around now - I’m done with the price gouging and completely tone deaf responses to legitimate customer complaints or concerns.

Seeing my Intuit QuickBooks online subscription renewal go up again this year is the last straw. Every year the price gets jacked and I have not seen a new, worthwhile feature in years. If anything, I just get more prompts buy other Intuit products. No more! The search for a replacement begins!

I forget the original source but this is so good. I need a little pocket version that goes in my wallet like a credit card.
