nencrystation··on It’s hard work to make ordering groceries online so easy
Yeah it's so weird seeing americans treat this as some kind of Hard Problem when it's been part of our daily life for 15+ years. Like the healthcare debate with less politics. "kroger should buy some vans, hire more people, and start a website" is pretty much the end of it. (I assume krogers is a supermarket)
nencrystation··on Behind Pfizer's vaccine, an understated husband-and-wife “dream team”
I actually cant think of a site where that would fly better, except machiavelli-suntzu-successwin-business-genius.org

A tragic case of passive voice addiction, reader.
nencrystation··on Why we've never fallen in love with virtual reality
Demoing VR to newbies is one of my favourite things. It's so rare to see that level of excitement.

The turbo button made the machine slower for compatibility with older programs, as described in the parent post.
nencrystation··on Perfectly Cropped
Waze is indeed really clunky in places. It crashes less than it did last year but the UI hasn't really changed.
nencrystation··on Twitter analysis: identifying a propaganda bot network
Every now and then bellingcat covers a "lesser" news story like this one, so they can pretend their main purpose isn't to push for regime change in Syria.
nencrystation··on Computer Stupidities (2013)
Classic website. The thing that gets me is that at this point, in 2019, there are so many users who have been using windows every day for 25 years, and have forgotten that eg Start -> All Programs exists. I truly don't understand how you can use a computer for that long and not learn basics like that.
nencrystation··on American kids would much rather be YouTubers than astronauts
Post-Apollo they've always preferred whatever the contemporary version of "rock star" is to Astronaut. Non-story.
