@stml Maybe the truck in ‘Duel’ is actually a rogue autonomous vehicle? How would we know what was driving?

“And what did you do while civilisation slowly collapsed?”
“Well… I spent ages rewriting my personal website and I reorganised my CDs.”

@spongefile I don’t think investor-powered capitalism allows you to leave a product be :)

@spongefile But might just be my lack of imagination :) Maybe there are useful big advances that could be made, but Apple are choosing other things.

@spongefile Like MacBooks… they’ve thinner. Got retina screens. Otherwise, they haven’t changed drastically for years and years.Not sure how they could.

@spongefile Yeah, but I don’t know what I would be excited about in a new phone, now basics are good. But they have to pretend these are major advances.

@infovore That’s lovely.

@spongefile I know. I’d like for there to be a new model with so much good stuff I’m having to convince myself to buy it. But, nope, nothing exciting.

@spongefile I feared it would start seeming slow with another iOS update, but not yet… A better camera would always be nice, but it’s fine.

@spongefile I haven’t noticed anything buggy since I upgraded (just the usual “why did they change that?” annoyances).

@spongefile No. Did they say in what way? It seems to just work.

@spongefile I do like my SE. Just the right size. No desire to get anything bigger.

I’ve been promoted to Principal Engineer at the FT. 🎉😝😨

Said it before but if they just play the archive John Peel shows they have, one each night, in order, I'll listen to it till the day I die
