always so odd to me how many people care about stream numbers. feels like they don’t actually care about the music at all. one of my favorite albums of all time is from a band that gets like 2,000 streams a month. art is not measured by level of consumption

Instagram UX is worse with every update. Social media is opt-in, I’m considering opting out of Instagram.

I saw someone say something kind of ignorant on FB but then I realized that they were from Fox Chapel. It didn't excuse the behavior but at least it partially explained it.

The Register is reporting that OpenAI lost $11 billion in the last quarter. This company is a shambling monstrosity, financial insanity as a direct result with the markets’ obsession with growth.
