And I do think there’s something to “frictionmaxxing” (sorry) to offset [gestures wildly to the online world]. also! I lie on the couch at night and look for thing not unlike vintage ceramics and it is absolutely all about the thrill of the hunt. So so much meat in those tabs!

Ik liet me gistermiddag prettig afleiden door wat ik maar even de 'soft launch' noem van de instance cultuur.social, door onder meer @dana en @koen. Er waren geweldige films, leuke gasten (hallo @BjornW en @johan !) en een column van Amal Maatoug over #frictionmaxxing, wat neerkomt op ongemak […]

i'm thinking it's time to just get my favorite sitcoms on DVD and deal with switching out discs, which is annoying cuz it's my constant background noise. frictionmaxxing means i'm less likely to do it at all. then what? just doing one task at a time? i can't EVEN imagine

Hot take: #FrictionMaxxing (i.e. avoiding digital convenience services) seems to support a healthier planet and humanity than otherwise.

Downtube shifters is nowhere near the frictionmaxxing of downtube brake levers. Just get all of those pesky cables off your handlebars so you can freely spin them around.

The revolution will not be optimised: on frictionmaxxing and the creative virtues of inconvenience
In a culture obsessed with seamlessness and instant fulfilment, inconvenience is starting to feel strangely radical again.

yeah, but frictionmaxxing seems like it's still just falling into algorithm-style thinking :) We've gotta stop trying to dictate or claim "this is the way" when what we need is legitimate choice, not a dictatorship of the [whoever].

Frictionmaxxing: intentionally adding small hassles — walk to the store, skip one-tap. Branding lesson: when AI smooths every voice, your weird name, odd packaging or slower pace are the things people remember.
