The zone of proximal depravity

what the algorithmic feed does is effectively collapse this protective layer

We are closer to ugly though thanks to algorithms.

I could spend 2 minutes watching Google’s beautiful 2017 video or I could make a gif.

👍 Reading www.nytimes.com

All prose has factual gaps that must be filled by the reader. Consider "I promised not to play with it, but Mom still wouldn't let me bring my Rubik's Cube to the library." The author has omitted three facts vital to comprehension: you must be quiet in a library; Rubik's Cubes make
noise; kids don't resist tempting toys very well. If you don't know these facts, you might understand the literal meaning of the sentence, but you'll miss why Mom forbade the toy in the
library

Spent a wee bit of time today with gutenberg the upcoming WordPress editor. Interesting, although I am probably not the target audience. We will need to do a lot of testing for #glowblogs.

As someone not online for much of the day I am finding the RSS feed from my micro.blog timeline useful in keeping up with stuff that has dropped off the app. micro.blog/feeds/username.xml

I just opened Alfred and typed Sett, thinking iOS Settings rather than System Prefs and the First choice was System Prefs. Nice touch.
