playing a bit of geoguessr
screenshot showing that i finished the daily challenge in 78th place out of 10,264 participants, which is in the top 0.75%

as I'm delving deeper into geoguessr, I frequently think about how these snapshots of the world we are exploring are also a kind of permanent goodbye to the world as it is in them. the climate catastrophe is going to change so much about our planet, rising sea levels are going to obliterate entire coastal features, biomes will change, areas will become much wetter, much drier, much hotter. and we are looking at images of countries when they were at peace, even if today they aren't. houses that have in the meantime collapsed. fields that still show crops that aren't there any more. forests that have been cut down and turned into furniture. it's a weird sort of melancholy that takes me sometimes as I'm trying to figure out where exactly this or that kind of palm grows.

one thing that sucks about computers these days but I haven't figured out a pithy way to communicate it to non-nerds:

every time someone requires a smartphone 'app' to use their service
every time someone discontinues the desktop client and replaces it with a massive javascript-based web app
every time someone wants you to scan a qr code

they are offloading work onto you. they're demanding that you pay for things which were previously understood to be something they provided. they're soaking up your battery power, your time, your bandwidth, and they're profiting from it.

the app for your apartment laundry or your dishwasher saves them money on collecting fees, or saves them money by reducing the number of buttons in their product.

the discontinued desktop client (the web app) takes load off their servers and puts it on your computer, or your phone. at the expense of your bandwidth and power.

the restaurant with its 'scan here for the menu' saves the money on printing menus and offloads that cost onto your phone battery.

it's not just a surrender of control. it's not just the injection of the internet into critical paths where it was not before. they're taking your money.

At least one of the RPGs takes place in another kingdom and their city includes a "Little Fungitown" predominantly inhabited by toads, so there is evidence for this thesis

The older I get the more I realize just how common talent is in the world. Knowing that doesn't make talent any less impressive, just that it makes you appreciate how rare opportunity is.
