In the last couple of years I have noticed that people have been using single purpose phone holders/straps (as opposed to a multipurpose thing holder like a handbag etc.), so I understand this as apple coming in a little late trying to cash in on a trend. That being said: Apple don’t try to make their soft material products to last, so I expect this to be hot garbage.

tangent: I’ve seen people using this Bubblegum Slop (BS for short) in their social media stories. My guess is that fb/insta has started suggesting you use their slop instead of using music licensed from spotify, or something.

Either they're right, and the bubble pops soon, or they're too early and it's another hilarious Softbank L

Definitely been seeing the pattern of: “if you don’t like AI, you are being x-phobic” where “x” is a marginalised group that the person is using the name of as a cudgel. They probably never cared about this group before, but what’s important to this person is that they glaze AI over any sort of principle or ethics. Usually it’s ableist, as is basically any form of marginalisation/discrimination.

E: read the link. Lmao that’s… not xenophobia. What a piece of shit

I’m too tired to read this properly but it looks like MIT’s suggestion for better vibe coding is just… repackaged software design? Anyway, article.

since Elon Musk is so rich, that must be because he is very Intelligent™

Will never be able to understand why these mfs don’t see this as the unga bunga stupid ass caveman belief that it is.

Sure. Not advocating for its usage. Just got a kick out of seeing it.
