I've now migrated from my Pixel 8 to my Pixel 10 Pro. Just like last time the new phone migration had some hiccups. The biggest problem is app migration: some apps copied state over but the majority did not. Why don't more Android apps support it?

It should be noted that Ted Nelson here has a bit of a naive viewpoint, as the reasons for how a machine is designed and why it exists are because people made it and people literally always have an agenda.
In other words, a machine exists because it does something that a person actively decided it should—it is the embodiment of non-neutrality.

As someone who reads nihilism, existentialism, and atheism: God is dead. We killed Him.

Sitting at Montgomery Muni. The guy next to me is hitting his meth pipe. He does not offer to share.

Finally got my heat fixed in SF. Also kicked the Nest thermostat to the gutter like the garbage that it is. So far Ecobee is making a good impression.

The Digital Wellness app in Android just spammed me with a notification warning me about how too many notifications on my phone are bad for my wellness. The app is uninstallable.

Listening to Pan Sonic's 1999 album A. They have an intense commitment to minimalist techno. Here's the track A-kemia.
