I’m realizing just like all the UI overlays that Apple’s putting in their software (Apple Intelligence and text correction when handwriting, it all makes me self-conscious) that take me out of the moment because they’re making me self-conscious the way the self-editing voice does in my head that is another big reason why I’m going to move away from Substack in that kind of ulterior motive profit and growth driven incentives that pollute my thinking and creativity. I want control of platform and publishing if I can have it.

These technologies all have these ulterior motives that they are more explicitly starting to shove down our throats and I think that’s another reason we’re seeing this analog dedicated devices resurgence
