Because it’s not just desktop search in the conventional sense, it parses and indexes EVERYTHING that is shown on screen regardless of app.

Normal desktop search is fine for ‘where is file X?’ or ‘which document contains Y?’ but the point of Recall is to be able to deal with far more wide reaching queries, like ‘what website did I order a cake from last week?’ or ‘where did I see a great idea for a pizza recently?’, where it can find sources for natural-language queries across anything that was shown onscreen, whether it was a website, an email, a slack message, or something within any other app.

This is a specific thing called misophonia

I don’t think anyone is out there scared that they’re going to find themselves present at the heat death of the universe, they’re scared of the implication: the idea that nothing matters, even on the grandest of scales, because everything will be lost in the end.

The fear isn’t physical, it’s philosophical.

Bit of a deep cut, but Schmigadoon! was utterly brilliant and I wish they’d been given another season or three to explore more styles.

Yes, absolutely. Why would you not?

You’re going to see them regularly anyway, so might as well be on friendly terms. Depending on where you work it’s possible or even likely that you’ll share some common interests too.

Yes, you or they will probably leave the company at some point, but that’s no reason not to make friends in the meantime. People come and go all the time; that’s life! If you’re lucky, you’ll make a friendship that survives even if you have to part ways at work. If not, just be happy with the friendship you had for as long as it lasted.
