I’m on a neighbourhood app that introduced AI summaries of text in a totally confusing way…

Original poster here was trying to say: “Madeline Drive [power is] off”.

AI translated their statement into a missing person report, put it ABOVE the original poster, and got everyone into a panic 🤦‍♂️

Just ordered pasta with a sauce that contains white wine and Uber Eats wants me to show my ID when it arrives… wondering just how much wine is in this pasta?!?

Update: they delivered the wrong pasta sauce 😭

Ok, this zoom stuff is getting troubling. 

Here’s another example of it being bad. Is Google meet the best alternative?

Confused Deputy strikes again!

“Zoom” is the name of the app but also the name of the participant.

The user sees the dialog and thinks it’s the system asking if the app can access the screen.

But it’s actually the app asking if the participant can access the screen.

At what point does an app become mini? Or do they all start as mini app then grow up?

Might be spending too much time on Reddit lately

Gap in the market:

it’s 2025 and when I search Google Shopping for an adjustable 24” monitor with speakers for my kid I get monitors that aren’t adjustable and/or don’t have speakers.

Do I build this?

Code has a backdoor minting function. I wouldn’t give this token liquidity.

Thanks @bleu.eth for reminding me about this

Got pro. Still miffed Merkle had a fixed  10k pro NFTs rather than a fixed 24hr mint period. TZ-centric launches are exclusionary when you’re building a global platform.

Farcaster

Can I still subscribe to Farcaster Pro?

Yes. Farcaster Pro is bound to your account (FID) and will give you additional features for your account over time.

Again, the first 10,000 subscriptions included a limited edition NFT. 
But all future features we're working on will go to all Pro subscribers. It won't matter if you have the NFT or not.

It's optional, does not increase your reach, visibility or rewards.

Got spam from my service provider.

So I followed their opt-out instructions… and got this message.

Such things should be punishable by a very serious punishment.

Don’t mind me. I’m just a DAU, trying to work my way up to qDAU status 😌
