This unification is garbage. Chats that are about topics other than programming projects are relegated to a tiny, unsearchable popup window. Renaming the old app "ChatGPT Classic" implies that it will be discontinued at some point

Even if I wanted to see that movie, I would refuse to watch it purely because I received an unsolicited ad in the Wallet app.

I once had an insurance plan with a grossly inaccurate provider directory. This cost me a bit as the doctor they suggested to me, verbally on the phone, turned out to be out of network. They later told me it was the doctor’s responsibility

The developer destroyed millions of dollars of their own value by cutting corners and now they have to suffer the consequences. That is reasonable.

It does not because it only counts as a skydive if you exit an aircraft. If you're jumping off of land, it's BASE.

Nutjobs have already been proven to exist and are in ample supply. Odds are it's not aliens.

It amazes me that humans continue to have this perverse desire to fix what isn't broken.

This doesn't help people like me who just want to stargaze. How about, empty city streets don't need to be lit up at 2 am. And what lighting there is, is too bright, too intrusive, and overused.

One day you will find yourself a sanctimonious old man who desires to pass on his "wisdom" to all those callow youngsters. Don't bother. You will still die having had no discernible effect on the world. You would have been be

And yet... >One day you’ll find yourself wearing shorts. Fair enough, it’s probably hot out. One day you’ll also find yourself wearing a t-shirt. Again, fair enough. Unless you’re playing a sport, however, you will not be wearing the two

I agree with you, but any time I've attempted it I just feel sick to my stomach.

I'm sure the Lessons so Far list really does work, but it seems like mental illness to me. Trying to be entertaining to get followers, tailoring your work so that it gets attention, talking to the right people on social media and being

Why do humans have to seek status? Wouldn't we all be happier and healthier if we stopped caring about where we are in the social pecking order?

Sexual loneliness and frustration is strange to me. I accept that it is real and painful for many people. But I just don't understand how the desire for sex drives people to take risks with their health and safety, or how the lack of i

Only 60% of Americans drink? I routinely get astonished looks when I tell people that I've never in my life even tried a drop of alcohol. It seems like way more than 60% have had alcohol.

Thanks for your feedback. I agree it needs visual improvements. I chose not to spend money on an artist -- just had too much in the project already. The trailer should have been done by a 3rd party. I don't grasp what is going to appea

It's a chicken and egg problem. If you post, nobody will see it because nobody knows who you are. So you have to spend a long time "engaging" or "networking" with a community you didn't really want to join in t

Hazmat Hijinks. If you happen to visit the website and see the Nintendo Power-esque PDF, tell me, shouldn't that grab the attention of the right person? I know I don't have the best social understanding but I thought I nailed that

After four years working on my retro game nearly full time, and several launches, I still don't understand marketing enough to understand what to do differently. A lot of the advice out there is something like: "create a community

This is my 30th year programming. I always hope it's my last. Programming for money destroyed the fun hobby long ago. It's just reinventing the wheel year after year by this point. The last thing the world needs is more software.

True, even attempts to avoid attention can paradoxically bring attention. I'm not really motivated by how others see me. My basic intent is to remove as many logos and commercial messages from my life as possible. With the MacBook, it

You're allowed to do whatever you want. For myself, I am just beyond supporting or being part of any type of group or culture or signaling such.
