Fine, that's gonna happen, but... it's pretty unfair to assume I'm up to speed on everything that has happened in the last 24 hours at all times. And that's before we get to merit.29 Sep 2026 19:08 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwojowk7sc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3mwgvxsyyw22fGreat thread here, and I'll add to it that my experience suggests this literacy crisis extends to non-textual media as well.

Not only is the quarter tank tick barely above empty, but when the needle is on it you really have half a tank left.
