I basically have to hit the edit function in Signal and correct typos in Every. Single. Thread. Every. Single. Day. It is infuriating.

This has been going on for years, so I guess when this guy claims this started at iOS 17, it seems to make sense.

The iOS keyboard really really is utterly broken. I'm glad it's not just me. I was already wondering if I should schedule an appointment with a doctor and check if I have early onset dementia or something.

I have scrubbed my account completely clean years ago and never use it for anything. When I log in once a quarter or so, just to check if someone sent me a message via the Messenger, all I see is soft-porn on my timeline.

German here. Root beer does INDEED taste like toothpaste. Disguting. :)

We Germans drink Malzbier, which is equally unhealthy, but at least it tastes somewhat OK.

I have updated as soon as possible and I if you asked me, I couldn't tell you what is different now. Everything I do on a daily basis still works exactly the same. If there are some weird more rounded corners somewhere now, I don't consciously notice them. The glassy effects look cool but after a week you don't even think about them any more.

Why should ads be a moat???

People hate ads. I have changed from ChatGPT to Grok and have felt absolutely no difference in my usage patterns, just getting better answers.

Every competitor has cloned ChatGPTs UI/UX and API, so hopping between competitors is a no-brainer. There is no moat.

Keychat or Whitenoise.

That is not the case any more. The "users" show up in the shape and form of malicious AI crawling bots that don't honor your robots.txt nor apply any kind of self-throttling.

That's a very diplomatic way of saying "we burnt all this money but we have not the faintest clue about how to proceed"

We can do something about it:

Just not use those services. X is addictive, but otherwise utterly unnecessary. It seemed useful about 8 years ago when you could get tech insights form industry veterans on a daily basis and then use them in your own company. Those days are long gone.

Just. Don't. Use. Those. Services.

Easiest life-hack ever for a happier and more productive life.
