  • Every time I feel old I remember that all of my grandparents lived to well over 90 and that I’m barely halfway through my life. With modern medicine and the Boomers beta testing any advances, I’ll probably live to 130 with good quality of life with just over the counter medication and regular automated cancer screenings.

    And extra colon cancer screenings if I’m a good boy.






  • I think that was also around the time the timeline went from chronological to algorithm-based

    This has always been the first stage of enshittification. Twitter back in 2007 was pretty nice. I made a lot of local friends because they’d post cat pictures and food pictures and we’d have meetups. Really great folks that I found because their posts showed up in a chronological feed alongside other ones I follow.

    Then when they switched to an algorithmic feed all those posts by people with low follower counts got drowned out by ones with activity. My friends were still there, I just didn’t see them because The Algorithm decided I didn’t want to. I stopped using Twitter not long after that.
