I reeeeally miss the way notifications work in Android and had the hardest time adjusting to that. Other things were different but didn’t really affect my life once I got used to it. It’s been more than a year and still haven’t gotten used to the (worse) notifications.

I did it when the 16 Pro came out after not having an iPhone since the iPhone 5s. The only standout pro for me has been not having to run to my iPad to answer FaceTime call.
Which, as the only android user in my family, has unfortunately bern worth giving up a better experience in everything else.

I also started doing this with podcasts where I have more than 3 unplayed episodes build up. As a checklist completionist I can't let those feeds ruin my life.

On the plus side this Gemini for Home notification has been the final push I needed to continue my vendor neutral, non-cloud, smart home migration.

Putting the dril tweet into @monarchmoney.bsky.social's assistant looking for advice. It's been 3 minutes and the thing hasn't budged off "thinking" so I guess they aren't good at the economy

At a past job there were a handful of us who had built extensions to re-make SaaS apps we were forced to use like Confluence and Google Chat (the slack equivalent, not 1:1 chats) 😅

By default, Cincinnati is much more geared towards "elevated" bar food, sandwiches with a messy amount of sauce, and things with a lot of cheese on them.

As someone who browses as my main means of restaurant discovery, I imagine this is why I've had such a hard time finding the kind of places I typically eat at upon moving to Cincinnati ~4 years ago. I probably "fit" the algorithm a lot more in past cities like SF, Seattle, Chicago, Portland.

If you put "Waldorf" in front the price drops 95% but you gotta make it yourself.

I hate that this is true but a way I've found to make shopping easier is to visit a brand I like then just go browse instagram for 15 minutes where a creepy advertising algorithm knows my preferences way too good and will just surface the things I actually wanted to see on the site I was just at.

people were so against selling out they'd even invite trumpeters and trombonists to play with their band to make their music even louder, ensuring their voice was heard
Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I feel bad for people trying to launch a new business when one of your first five reviews is a one-star review because they think you're buying coffee from a local cult when in fact the local cult is actually a different coffee shop who also buys coffee from the same roaster 🤦

I like the part where it sends me an AI update about what it saw on my cameras and then I open the app and it asks me if I want to agree to start getting AI updates powered by gemini (that it is already giving me without my consent?)
Google says its confusing Gemini Home rollout is going just great
