A new connections app, Sonder, has a deliberately tedious sign-up process (and it’s working)

#app #connections #dating #signUp #sonder“With the format of existing dating apps, the intention is lowering the barrier to entry and improving access, allowing for introverts to meet a bunch of people easily,” co-founder Helen Sun told TechCrunch. “Those intentions were really good at the beginning, but based on the way those apps have evolved, I think it’s become a very monotonous thing, and people are suffering from burnout because there’s a loss of authenticity.”

When I see something remarkable, I practice thinking about the "hidden" version that we don't see.
Like, I know I meet _plenty_ of cool people but don't get to know them deeply enough to appreciate them. #Sonder
The codebase of the most popular LLM product was released by accident, so we get to audit it ourselves. And it's pretty bad.
So I think about how Microslop's GCC High system _isn't_ publicly known (nor is it to FedRAMP). I have to assume it's much worse...

CW: subtoot + uspol boost ICE murder
If I get an obituary and it referred to me as a "recent alum"... that's so reductive. Please remember that everyone is so much more than what text could ever say about them. #Sonder
And if it needs to be said on this topic, tbc, if I were to die anytime soon, it'd not be by my own doing, it'd be like in a "fallen off a balcony" way like https://mastodon.online/@xankarn/115938485686670041
because I've found for myself what makes this life worth living. -
Reading CSCW papers
Four overlapping kinds of *invisible work*:
1. work done out of view of others,
2. routine or manual work requiring judgment and skill not acknowledged,
3. work done by people who are not valued, and
4. work that is not part of anyone's job description, but critical to getting things done.This makes me feel seen, and I try to be mindful of others' invisible work, too.

Marriott’s Bet on Sonder Backfired — and Travelers Paid the Price

The #sonder / #marriott relationship was ultimately killed by those crazy "unforseen" issues integrating two IT systems. It went really badly, even by the low standards of enterprise software updates. It's sad, because Sonder had a beautiful system for booking. Marriott has awful software. They got the worst of both worlds. One of URLs I had to hand edit to complete a booking one day as a souvenir below. (html stills still useful in 2025) .. RIP Sonder.

It's funny how #hotel cancellation policies only cover you cancelling, not their inability to fulfill a basic contract.
Looks like the #sonder / #marriott marriage just ended in tears. Marriott had capital, Sonder actually had a working app and seamless customer experience. Marriott was well on the way to smashing the customer experience to small pieces anyway, but still sad.

Sonder, but realizing that there are also a gazillion animals roaming the wild. You know, a fox in a hole, sleeping and twitching as it dreams about chasing a mouse. Or maybe a wolf migrating for hundreds of kilometers, going "FUCK OH SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK OH FUCK ..." while panicking when avoiding humans that smell funny and make scary noises and build weird boxes for themselves.

another smooth corporate merger. I was cursing recently just how bad the #marriott experience was relative to #sonder (you have to ask in person to request a digital key to use with their app). Well karma bites and marriott bought sonder and it’s a totally seamless experience transacting with the merged entity. /s

Making the most of our weekend in Kielder by getting out on the big bike today. First time round the Lonesome Pine trail. Feeling a bit out of practice, and didn't have anybody with me, so taking it very steady on the way down, but great fun. Definitely worth having another go when I'm feeling more confident.

Don't wanna be bored anymore
with glory stories of inspirationHeroes overcoming all obstacles
just don't do it for me
cause they give me zero hope
of fixing my impossible situationFeed me terrible tales
of monumental failuresLet's hear some epic crash and burn
I can really relate toSo I don't feel all alone
and my misery
can have some #sonder companyAllow us current losers
to mass wallow together
for awhile
here in this pit
of shared life futilityMaybe our strength in numbers
will allow us to find a way
to some day
climb out of this damn depression -
brief celebration
know, as pure light reflects
we all do our best---

"If any cis or questioning people in the comments are still confused why anyone would "want" (need) to consider different options, remember the context.
Most of us already DIY their mood and function with caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, paracetamol, and others.
These are all over the counter non-food substances with therapeutic and side effects.
Plus cosmetic surgeries and (unregulated) supplements for people unhappy with their ageing process.The difference here is a group of people whom we can target, attack ("justifiably", not), and scapegoat to stall for time while avoiding real causes like inequality. "

I'm booked for #RustConf in #Montreal!
Looking forward to seeing @herberticus 's presentation! (I'm not sure how to reserve my seat for the workshop so save me one ok? 😂)
Lots of booking issues with #AirCanada on their website (had to book through Kayak), and #Sonder (like #AirBNB) requires photo id verification via something called #Persona. Is that normal for #Canada?
Hope to see other 🦀Rustaceans there too!

Coincidence appears often in our lives: For example, my turning on a light in my apartment building, at the moment someone else is looking up. This simple event—that perfectly timed light just as they look up—might strike them as being significant. But for me it may go unnoticed as an unremarkable moment. The perception of meaning in that coincidence depends on our contexts. It’s the context that is the special part, not the event itself. Understanding that, makes it possible to shift our perspectives.
Sonder: n. the realization that each random passerby is the main character of their own story, living a life just as vivid and complex as your own, while you are just an extra in the background
~ “Sonder” is credited to John Koenig
I’m just the random person flipping on a light. That other person, who I don’t even know is out there, is the main character of their story. But it’s just a coincidence.
Thirty years ago I bought a calculator. An HP-42S which, to this day, works perfectly in every respect. The keys don’t just still work but they are in perfect condition. They softly bump (the way a modern phone’s haptic motor dreams it might some day bump) and their labels remain pristine. It’s clearly a marvel of over-engineering. It takes 3 little button batteries, and they last about 3 or 4 years. When I bought it, it was moderately expensive. Not expensive per se, but also not something I’d want to lose. So I put a little white label inside the battery door and I wrote the date and my first name. (And I did once leave it in a laboratory, and retrieved it from lost+found by saying, “my name is inside.”) Being insane, I even wrote the month/year on that label as I changed the batteries. After about 15 years, the label was full and I stopped writing dates. A few days ago—on December 16th to be exact—the battery indicator said it was again, time. Normally (read “ALWAYS”), I’m a “jump up and do it now” sort of person. Instead, for no particular reason, I turned off my faithful 42S and simply set it aside. The very next day, I got three new batteries, opened the little battery door…
And it was December 17th. I bought my calculator on December 17, 1993. There I was, changing the batteries on December 17th, 2023. Exactly 30 years. It’s just an interesting coincidence, right?

Productive evening in the garage: new tyres and new brake discs on new wheels, new wheels on (old) bike.
Still have to add sealant, but I'll do that when it's ready to roll; need to swap out a cracked brake/gear lever bracket first.
