Note that my (implied) emphasis is on experience. If the experience is what is important, convenience isn’t actually what creates desire paths. Instead it’s the experience of making a personal choice to increase efficiency, of joining a club of renegades who brave the path less traveled, etc… So maybe allowing for that experience in the managed environment is another way of limiting desire paths.

I wonder if the experience of ‘shortcut’ is part of the motivation, so that as soon as you’ve established a path, what constitutes ‘shortcut’ also changes. I’d be interested to know if curved paths were more desire path-resistant, because they appeal to an intuition about adjusting (and therefore optimizing) course.

If you ever talk to someone confused by this, maybe ask them to lightly push the front magnet in the direction it’s trying to go.

Just drink cat piss

THANK YOU

This is the first time I’ve seen this take upvoted.

Would they equally write ‘mothers’ vs. ‘childless women’ in another article about remote work, I wonder.

You’d think a solar powered sugar factory would know about sugar.

Never thought about how ‘shapeshifting’ always assumes volume- and mass-shifting as well.

There’s stuff in there like shapeshifting into a hawk and then your legs break, because the bone diameter/mass-ratio is too small.

For my last install I had to remove either the SSDs or NVMEs (don’t remember which) or the installation would just fail. This was a ‘known’ issue! Fortunately haven’t had to boot it for months…

Some people want to see/show off the logo. Off-brand cases can’t have the Apple logo on them, so it’s a compromise of sorts.

I’m glad you guys are happy, but I’d want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.

The biggest giveaway here is ChatGPT answering any question with one word without being specifically told to do so.

It looks stuffed, almost. Why is it eating a dead leaf? And those faces can’t just be ‘smiles’.

I just have never had a Linux system that didn’t require some sort of terminal work to fix the occasional bug. A couple of updates ago Fedora left me with conflicting packages that needed the terminal to straighten out.
