“The most frustrating aspect is that we are still using QuarkXPress 4 on Mac OS 9. That will be corrected by the autumn of this year, when we will migrate to InDesign on OS X.” - Arthur Hochstein

I’d love to read the paper on how email was objectively “proven to make the world better” and how LLMs fail this same test.

Just because somebody suggests one extreme is a bad idea doesn't mean they are advocating for the other.

I checked the "hashtags" link and was met with the following: "Hashtags are a critique and a rallying cry to gather round. They are the protest banners of the openweb"
