STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS | S04E03 | Human Best Friend

[cyle]

it is like lower decks rubbed off on this show in a really good way. it has a few covert and overt references to other star trek shows like the one above. star trek can and should be silly sometimes.

Hey there 👀 @jubs here...

our team was chatting about how "Inbox" and "Messages" can be too similar terms, and can be easily confused with each other.

should we rename "Inbox" to something else?

asks

submissions

contributions

please keep it "Inbox"

something else (say in the comments / tags)

Remaining time: 6 hours 26 minutes

curious to hear your thoughts...

[cyle]

ah the things you leave behind

[jubs]

what did you leave behind...

[cyle]

the debate about what to call this part of the product if it were ever to be unified 😄

(which was one of the reasons why we never unified it)

great suggestions in the comments

[iheartvelma]

Ok, putting my ux / ia hat on for a minute:

I completely forgot there is a separate place where Asks / submissions go until this post reminded me.

As I use Tumblr mostly through the native iOS app, the Inbox is hidden in the “junk drawer” menu. Even IF I had Asks turned on, I’d never think about them, much like those vague uncategorized “other” messages in Facebook. Out of sight, out of mind.

This is why “junk drawers” are terrible UX. The ur-example is mobile Reddit where all of the important sidebar content (links to subreddit rules, FAQs, etc) gets stuck under a kebab menu that nobody opens.

If you have Asks turned on, then Ask messages should appear as a third tab under the ⚡️ menu. If you have them turned off, then that tab should be greyed out or its content should be a “Turn on Asks to see content here” prompt.

Eclipse time

Pretty cool place to watch this thing

[jv]

Halfway there

It’s already becoming noticeably colder, so weird

About ten minutes for the big event

(I’m in the zone where we will get a total eclipse)

This is the weirdest and coolest thing I’ve lived through

Ominous clouds over Edgewater; brunch at Ann Sather; and did you know the IWW has a bricks and mortar bookstore (open by appointment only M-F) on Belmont just west of Ashland?

watching an old episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate on HBO and, from shot to shot, it lurches between horizontally stretched and zoom-cropped SD. Alex Guarnaschelli is distortedly extra wide like the MCP from Tron. Plus the color gamut, Kodak flashcube lighting, and close-ups of food going into mouths makes everything look sickeningly unappetizing. We’ve come so far from 2009 in terms of television technology.

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

[thedupshadove]

"I know a guy" = "I have a useful contact."

"I know a man" = "I am about to tell you a story."

[turtletotem]

“He’s a great guy” = he is pleasant and fun and well-intentioned

“He’s a great man” = he has saved countless lives and changed the world irrevocably

A bumper sticker I saw today:

“I am not having fun in the future”

[azspot]

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

“33. Make it possible—oh, dear God, please make it possible—to find privacy settings without a nationwide manhunt involving floodlights and basset hounds. Do you think we don’t know what you’re doing? “Go to Settings ->Preferences->Other->Other Options->Stochastic->Non-Evidentiary->Experimental, then click Advanced, then click Desalination, click Both, then Both again, then No three times, then all you have to do is translate the page from Russian to English and voilà! You can turn off genome mapping.” I believe it was Saint Augustine who said that to have faith is to believe in what you do not see; he was referring to the Facebook privacy settings.”

This is the same industry that created pervert glasses, not once but TWICE. They are more interested in their vision than the people necessary to bring that vision to fruition and exist in that future - because that vision doesn’t have anyone else in it.
