I hope you do not have an ice vehicle parked in your house currently, as these tend to burn much more often…

No, even for stopwatch, trigger on release is the correct choice, as it’s more precise. When tapping, I have to see, or in case of watching for some event to happen to stop the time, feel/guess when exactly the distance between screen

Even if SwiftUI, Qt and whatever Windows uses this morning were absolutely perfect, developers would write web UI slop to not have to write three frontends. That, and familiarity with JS are the whole reason.

YouTube succeeds for its content. Its UI is hot garbage both in the web and their apps. Google Maps is an atrocity and I’m very thankful Apple has decent data where I live. Roblox I don’t know, other websites I consume mostly in Reader mode

Styling every application independently because it’s all individual Electron UI without a shared toolkit is much better indeed…

Great for the developer. The user doesn’t use Mac, Windows and Linux. Just one for work and one at home, with mostly different apps, so they couldn’t care less if it looks the same on different platforms.

I switched to Kagi little over a year ago and couldn’t recommend it enough. The search results are actually what I’m searching for, there is AI for the occasions I want it (and only then), and it comes with nice extras like search personali

In turning into a far-right echo-chamber? Of the direct competitors, only Threads is closed. Mastodon has no ~algorithm~ discover feed, Bluesky is completely open source.

Why not use native for UI frame (menu, toolbar, conversation list etc) and WebKit for the actual chat? I think that would combine the best of both worlds.

Only reasonable way is shared core with thin UI layer on top. For Rust there is Crux, don’t know for other languages. Everything else is just compromise, like all Flutter apps I know on iOS are just atrocious.

Apple had much longer support lifetimes for their products than all their competitors long before talk of mandatory minimums started to reach actual governments.

Well, except Google Maps nowadays sucks for everything but POI discovery, and even that is getting worse with reviews getting tinkered with more and more. Not to speak of the abomination Google calls an user interface. Only reason to use Go

> `jj` is a wrapper around git and offers a much better dev-ex for managing changes. You are mistaken there: Git is just one (of currently two) backend of the jj version control system. It’s far from being a wrapper.

Your conclusion is false, as you’re mixing stuff that shouldn’t be mixed here: 1. Spotify, Uber etc are popular because of their product, not the pure quality of their apps. People use Uber because they want to cheaply get somewhere, and Sp

> Spotify, Facebook, Uber, and Reddit And I hate every one of those apps (well, back when I used Facebook, years ago, I did), because they’re just bad iOS citizens. I, as most iOS users do, don’t care what apps look on Android. For Andro

It’s nice developer experience indeed. But for me as a user, I hate it. Looks nothing like an iOS app, often even worse than fckng webviews…

macOS is fine on all officially supported machines. Windows 11 is fine on high-end machines, and sucks on everything else. I have to use Windows 11 for work unfortunately, an almost bare install with just the two programs we use added, no b

You forget you’re a minority. Most users use one platform, or at most one work one private (probably with different software). So most software should be optimized for the platform, not consistency across them.

Especially as self-hosting means loosing the community aspect of GitHub. Every potential contributor already has an account. Every new team member already knows how to use it.

German here. My searches are probably like 50:50 German:English. I don’t notice any difference in quality with Kagi’s results between the two languages, and both are well ahead of Google.

When I tried Qwant a few weeks ago, its search results were even worse than Google. So, Kagi it still is.

I have a similar one for Homebrew, with the ability to preview package info and install multiple targets: # ~/.config/fish/functions/fbi.fish function fbi -a query -d 'Install Brew package via FZF'
