Hands assemble a billion-year clock from the Lego construction set. The author of the channel collects a lot more. The presentation is interesting - the assembly starts simple and gradually becomes more complicated.

I thought this video was a great illustration of making a product more complex for the sake of complexity. Billion year clock? Cool! What time is it now?

I used Threads for a bit before it closed the door on Europeans and many VPN users again.

I didn’t see anything new or revolutionary there—another social network. Yes, now it seems that your messages are seen by different people and you see messages from different people (and this is already bad ;-), but the network was launched recently.

Here is opinion that Threads causes internal conflict and that- it will force you to change in life:

There is also a feeling that threads develops an interesting internal conflict in people:

Social the network offers unprecedented mechanisms for involving strangers, but many have nothing to offer them to develop this involvement. Someday you start to get tired of nudes, good mornings, sucking on m/f topics, etc.

I think in this social network. networks have a certain cultural threshold. And she will force you to change something in your life as the number of people here grows :)

Evolutionary algorithms in action :)

All this is beautiful in theory, but in practice a mass product always adapts to the majority. Most likely, gradually Threads will motivate people to write nonsense (for example, by promoting it). Society is like this, which means a mass product will make money from it while it can, and not try to “grow” an audience.

Threads is young and so far it really seems democratic and interesting. But I predict that very soon it will turn into Twitter.

I want to be wrong and see a social network that, as the author noted in the post above, will force users to change something in their lives.

I’ve noticed that I get the most satisfaction from systemic change. For example, I added a new feature, fixed something on the site, drew a logo, corporate identity or a key interface element. These are changes that affect not one element (section) of the system, but the entire system as a whole or its larger part (section, branch).

Ivan shared a useful cheat code on his Twitter:

I identify as the holder of the correct opinion in every discussion, so disagreeing with me is literally violence against me and my identity.

What now, bigots?

No takesy-backsies, I’m right times infinity.

I decided to go to the web version of Threads , but did not expect to see anything new - “Subscribe!”, buttons and menus, more buttons, an important switch, and a lot of important legal information.

But I’m shocked, honestly!

Unfortunately, I think that it won’t be this good for long and soon designers will start adding more and more of everything. Now minimalism supports the main function of Threads - it allows you to read and write - design in the user’s world. I can see how quickly Meta will spoil it.
