We have all these new video conferencing systems and not a single one that can finish a call and then put a big “END TRANSMISSION” on the screen with some kind of friendly but subtly ominous logo
The ghost of Dabney Coleman appears to give you earnest, worldly advice from The Great Beyond. He calls you “kid” and “champ.” He’s on the lookout for ghost communists
Cool new anti pattern at Nextdoor: provide three opt-out switches for each of dozens of notification options, but don’t offer an “unsubscribe from all” option until you try to delete your account. Serious innovation right there. “Fuck you, customer! I mean, don’t leave me, I can change! I promise!”
The Atlantic, this is a story for another time.
