This website is unusable on mobile.

For you.

Here are two screenshots of the website taken a moment ago on iPhone 15 Pro Max:

Good. If before the OS masters permitted this ad tracking—-a dirty secret of smaller developer revenue.

Now the FBI shows up to free lunch and blows up the spot. Now _everyone_ knows the ads in “free” apps are tracking you.


Wait. A VPN in the browser? Isn’t the cat already out of the bag at that point?

> “happiness" as a goal

More joy and less suffering is my goal.

Is that better, vis-a-vis suffering as the alternative.


Once you force OS to communicate data about the user, here we’re talking age, is it a slippery slope? Once the architecture is created, why not put other things about you in there?

My IG feed is largely taken over by congressional members videos, crazy $#!t the president (and his crew) says, and the keystone cops. And boy howdy is there a lot of rage inducing behavior going on.

I feel more informed than if I was only listening to NPR.

That said, I stay away from anything that’s produced—sound track, too many cuts/edits, talking head commentary. I guess in this context, if I’m going to be driven to emotional anxiety, it’s going to be from something that happened or something someone said, and not the internet’s interpretation.

You can’t “produce content” that I will watch _as news_. It has to be in some real way happening (with some deference to Rashomon).


Easier to find uncomfortable websites. Back in the 90s with all the Flash, lots of peeps said these sites made them uncomfortable because they couldn’t figure out how to do anything. Couldn’t figure out the navigation.

I instantly recalled a site from this era and amazeballs it’s still there! Superbad.com All hail!


Well, there goes my favorite secret mountain trout fishing spot. Sheesh

Isn’t the ‘circulation’ or ‘rate’ question a misinterpretation of the model of P&L analysis the OP was suggesting…?

Hmmm.

_GPT, prioritize truth over comfort, challenge assumptions, and avoid flattery. And analyze the patterns of biases in my prompts, and then don’t do that… or something_

Give it time, we’ll come up with something.
