I wonder if somewhere down the line @x will let users fine-tune our algorithms via talking to @grok?

I think I'm finally ready to update my iPhone (XS on 14.8), leaving behind an era of jailbreaking fun that started with my 1G iPod touch almost 20 years ago.

Dear @YouTube, it would be handy if we could search through comments on the iOS app :)

If I had $8 for every American Idiot who doesn’t understand that their Constitution only grants them the freedom to speak out AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT without fear of repercussion…

How to make Twitter a reasonably sane place again? Filter out anything related to U.S. politics.

Lesson learned: Maybe don’t have all your Comms eggs in one basket. During yesterday’s day-long nation-wide Rogers Canada outage I lost Internet, home phone (via VOIP) and cellular services. No way to even contact 911 in case of medical emergency/fire/etc.

Why does the iPhone keyboard hate me so much!? 😢 Unless I’m typing in slow motion it seems like every other word is mis-typed. And don’t.even.get.me.started.on.spaces. 😤 It makes me feel like I’m going insane sometimes.

I’m not new to this keyboard, I’ve been using it for 15 years! Does iOS not learn and adjust the hit zones for keys? Or does it, but badly? I see teenagers typing away as fast as their fingers can move, yet here I am fighting the damn keyboard every single time I use it. 😞

A welcome reprieve from the constant fear-mongering we’re used to. Humanity is in better shape than ever, and progress marches on!
Ebola defeated, sleeping sickness gone from 3 more countries, gun suicides down (except you-know-where), teen drinking & terrorism down, gay rights expanding, coal down, solar up, rhinos rescued, & other non-reported positive news from @future_crunch futurecrun.ch/goodnews

The dominant online writing style is one of all-knowing smugness. The result is a generation of young writers who think you must always speak as if you are a lifelong expert in whatever you are writing about — be it film theory, psychiatry, Scandinavian history, etc. It sucks

THIS JUST IN: Vast majority of Canadians are dumb because they don’t agree with J.P.’s bad take on the convoy. 🤯
"the most educated country" too bad about the people :)

So let's say we get the numbers back down to July 2021 levels. What happens next? Well... what happened in July 2021? A new variant arrived, and more people got infected and died than ever before! So the optimists need to explain why that wouldn't happen again.

And everyone looking at the slope of the graphs and saying "we're getting Omicron under control now". We're still way worse in every statistic than say 6 months ago. Because what happened then? Omicron. And where did that come from? Persistent non-life-threatening infections.

So tired of the "learning to live with Covid" thinkpieces. They're all too young to remember learning to live with TB and measles and polio. They sucked. People died. We decided not to learn to live with them.
