The iPhone Duo shows Apple at its best

It's an extra flourish that's not necessary by any means, and I can understand why someone would wonder why I think this is any better than what Samsung is doing, but it's the sort of extra flourish that elevates the experience. Now that I've seen it, it makes what I was used to feel old.

I feel like it's been awhile since Apple seemed to care about the details. Albeit, it seems a lot of the decisions they've been making over the past couple years were aimed and tailored for this exact moment—which we had to suffer through to get to this point. I still don't plan on getting a Duo... but maybe next year.

Selected Calendar Times for Someone Self-Employed Who Works from Home

Meeting w/ Self-Loathing and Narcissism departments/tendencies to brainstorm exciting new potential collabs

Someone must’ve hacked my calendar because this is word for word how I spend every single day. Not sure how people who work from home and don’t have a boss stay productive and/or how they prevent themselves from staring into space for an hour.

Channel 5 Gave Hunter Biden a List of Its Subscribers’ Emails for Some Reason

Channel 5, the YouTube channel hosted by Andrew Callaghan, said it gave a list of its email subscribers to Hunter Biden, the former president’s son, who went on to promote his new memecoin, a move that a data privacy expert told 404 Media is likely illegal in some jurisdictions.

Callaghan and Channel 5 have surprisingly done some good reporting and interesting interviews—much to my surprise—and I was starting to respect it, but this is just dumb. And I was also enjoying the spicy takes from Hunter Biden and then to turn around and launch a memecoin? What are we doing people?!

Meat proxy

A person who forwards AI-generated text, code, or other output without reading, understanding, or validating it. The person acts only as a relay between the AI system and the intended recipient.

A little late on this one as it’s travelled across the interwebs and back already, but I felt like it needed to be preserved here as well.
