if I had a lot more time I think I might write a book on my ideas about "adversarial automation".

The idea that the point of computers is to help the humans do their job faster and easier, and sometimes the computer or the software on it is the enemy in that battle.

@foone there is, of course, issues with the fact that a lot of people on the other side of the equation know about API 0. I remember when twitter started making The Changes, they also got REALLY strict with automation detection to the point where it was dinging the average user because it seemed like they MIGHT be trying to bypass the lack of an API

The kinda counterpart to the Torment Nexus is that sometimes as a writer you're not really trying to write a cautionary tale so much as thinking that if the Torment Nexus did exist, you personally would not be able to resist it, and would have a lot of fun (and probably screw up your life big time) abusing the Torment Nexus.

So you're writing about the Torment Nexus because it doesn't exist and writing about it is as close as you can get to being able to play with it.

@foone meanwhile I'm just here writing "stop inventing new, worse versions of the torment nexus! the old one worked fine!"

It's annoying when you get that firefighter instinct "this place is about to collapse" about a website and you're already so fucking busy.

I really don't have time to try to archive this site before it implodes, so I gotta try to ignore all the signs while hoping someone else archives it.

(note that I didn't mention which site I'm talking about: this is on purpose)

It's a pity that the technology never aligned such that we could get an e-ink pda

@foone see I like that but what would really tickle my fancy is something like the thinkpad 701c but with an epaper display and a foldout keyboard

I have no idea why, I just think that'd be neat
