  • The screens are there to play ads sometimes, and if you get there while an ad is playing, you either have to know the store and remember which screen the thing you want is behind, or you have to wait until the ad is over. Or you can go open every door until you find what you want. I prefer the latter because it makes the company have to pay more to cool their drinks.

    If enough people do it enough, maybe it’ll negate the advertising profits.






  • That’s the thing

    Every new user should by default download the official Mastodon app and make a mastodon.social account.

    Any other choice should be under an expandable Advanced or Custom Account Creation.


    Techies claiming to have to idea what the problem is are really revealing a serious lack of intelligence.

    People are primates. Chimps with language.

    You’ve seen the video of the chimp browsing Instagram. That’s what the user is like. That’s how easy you need to make the UX.

    Largely, they’re clueless with simple motivations. They don’t care about helping the fediverse be a viable and growing competitor to corporate social media. They don’t share your goal, they don’t care, they won’t suffer through even the slightest inconvenience for this.

    So make the decision for them. Don’t present them with the list of choices unless they specifically ask for it.

    Put horse blinders on them.

    They need it.









  • Be the change you want to see, fuck Unicode in the ass with weird decisions that end up staying around for hundreds of years because it becomes the new standard.

    Try to get full sRGB or similar color variety working, but struggle, give up, and bodge together a shitty pre-selected system of 117 colors where your orange is weirdly brown and you completely forgot to include any kind of purple/magenta.

    I believe in you, you can do this.


  • I don’t think the ground robots are quite ready to navigate sense bush, swamps, cross rivers, etc., no.

    But the majority of the world’s population is easily reachable by flat and predictable terrain right now. And if it really can’t manage to get inside the habitat or attack it with anything else, you’ll be starved out and die off before the robot does.
