Listening to old Willie Nelson songs and reading about Popperian falsification. Incidentally, Firefox wants to correct “Popperian” to “Pomeranian.”

Nah, that’s a little different. Just a little bit.

Google Maps now looks more like Apple Maps – and a lot of people aren’t happy.

The new interface is clearly inferior. Less readable, harder to navigate and even more ad-optimized. It’s trash. The best interface was around 2008.

She aptly uses Windows 95 as a metaphor for the optimism toward the future we all felt back then. Great song. The Win 95 reference is particularly appropriate given that the interface and base design was in fact a huge leap forward for usability and functionality, as opposed to what we experience now — where all is regression, drastically-reduced functionality, algorithmic oppression and data-thievin’ on a massive scale.

Regarding the video itself, I’d say “Lady, Those Eyes” about covers it. As I’ve said many a time before, I like my TVs dumb and my women smart.

A show I was just watching was set in 1307 in Paris. It annoyed me because they were speaking French, but it wasn’t Old French. It was completely modern. I know I am a language nerd but that took me right out of it. They hadn’t even made it up to Middle French at that time and the French spoken in 1307 would’ve sounded way hella different than what we hear now.

Ah well.
