At the #NCCI2025 conference at George Tech. I took a tour of their student center yesterday, and the guide kept mentioning “the institute.” I almost asked him what that was until I looked up the school on Wikipedia and realized that was the name of the university.

I gave in to the discount and signed up for X Premium with half the ads. I immediately noticed that 50% ads is indistinguishable from 100% ads. I have no doubt there really are fewer ads, I think it’s just psychology thing—my feed (and mind) are either interrupted by ads or not.
