It’s Your Fault Really

Casey Newton, writing in Platformer, reported that Meta is deprecating the end-to-end encryption feature in Messenger's Secret Conversations. The reason given? Not enough people used it. Which means, if you read between the lines, that this is your fault. This is the oldest trick Meta has. They roll

Bring Back The Buttons

Wearing an Apple Watch for years meant I never really thought about how I interacted with it. You just tap and swipe and it becomes second nature, until you start running and realise how badly that falls apart. Trying to skip a track, check a split, or adjust anything mid-run

Noticing, Not Performing

Many people struggle to journal because they sit down to write and they simply don’t know what to say. They stare at the blank page, waiting for something deep and meaningful to come to them. They want to write something that sounds like it belongs in a journal, something

The Contradiction Machine

I wrote a post last year about how the Apple halo had fallen away and that I was done with iOS. A few months before that, I’d written about privacy being something worth protecting. Before that, I defended app subscriptions while simultaneously complaining about the cost of digital life.

I Rent My Entire Life

After I wrote about the things I stopped caring about, someone replied on Micro.blog with something that stuck with me. The issue isn’t just consumerism, they said, it’s the expectation that we should have access to everything, from anywhere, all the time. Every song, every photo, every

AI Is The New Middleman

Apple’s notification summaries told BBC readers that Luigi Mangione had shot himself. They told others that Rafael Nadal, a married Spanish man, had come out as gay. They told darts fans that Luke Littler had won a championship that hadn’t happened yet. None of these things were true.
