I used to enjoy April Fools but I haven’t been able to for years and unfortunately find it a day of frustration now.
I just realized I didn’t encounter any tricks this year. I’m thinking part of that is I’m spending a lot of my time on services I host so less chances for others to add the tricks.
It feels like rain on my roof. April Fool’s disruptions happening outside of the space I’ve made while my life can continue as I like inside, undisrupted.
Yeah, feel the same, curated RSS feeds also contribute significantly.
The amount of BS flying daily in the ‘media’ and with AI slop makes every day April Fool’s anyway. A constructed environment means the BS detector doesn’t have to be on 24/7, which becomes tiresome.
