What a major victory for birds all across the globe. A feather is not ours to steal and parade around as if it’s our own culture. Maybe the ASF could replace this with a lock of human hair instead.

Anecdotally, Firefox has always been faster than Chrome on MacOS for me. Great to see it’s only getting even better.

Give LLMs five more years and this won't be an issue. The fact that it even gets close is seriously impressive. For people like me who aren't sysadmins, but simply have to do maintenance tasks on VPSes from time to time, something

Out of all the monthly subscriptions I have, YouTube Premium is by far my favourite. I don’t see an issue with paying for something I use so much everyday. Let’s be real, at this point YouTube is too big to fail. Without Google’s capital it

It used to work this way on iOS until they absolutely butchered the text cursor functionality with IIRC iOS 15.

This is a great example of how bad the UX has gotten for at-home music playback.

The GUI is buggy to say the least, but the actual torrent transfers are faster in every step of the way compared to Transmission 3.x in my testing.

Nice proof of concept. Might be good enough for basic visualisations but once you det into labelling it becomes unwieldy.

I think the developers at T-Mobile are equally pissed off about this. But with Firefox market share sitting at 3.5% in the US, it no longer makes business sense to spend the extra money required to make their site work in what is now a nich

Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people from very different cultures and social classes.

How do you do this specifically? Do you use some kind of bridging software or do you make a shim for each plugin that loads Wine on the fly?

I recently bought a "t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini" which is an inexpensive hardware DSP box capable of the same. I just have it sitting between my soundcard and some active speakers. Gives me peace of mind knowing my EQ curve always is on

TikTok and YouTube are fundamentally different and serve no danger to each other. Nobody's watching a 25-minute video on TikTok.

Hot take - the YouTube Music suggestions algorithm is miles ahead of Spotify and Apple music if your tastes deviate a bit from mainstream music.

> "Driving me away from the platform" Lol. Where else are you going to go? YouTube is a de facto monopoly when it comes to self-published shortform videos. The consequences of the "everything-is-free" Web 2.0 internet

Of course I would prefer a native app, but I don't think it is unreasonable of me to expect a web app to: - Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard behavior - Respond immediately to user input - Not take up

I've yet to hear the fans in mine, 9 months in. I can actually use it on my lap without scalding my legs. Battery life is so good that I rarely bring my charger along with me anymore. My old Intel MBP would have a drained battery after

There's no question that it's still highly in demand, but as a user I despise React apps. Not that there's anything wrong with the technology - well-written React with minimal dependencies can provide a great and responsive U

I would argue that any HTML + CSS framework stack is inherently flawed once you move beyond the most basic of UI components. I have yet to work on a React + Tailwind codebase in the wild where the margin/padding metrics aren't har

A lot of organizations bet the farm on React ~5 years ago because it was the cool new thing. It is very likely that many of the original developers have since moved on to the next cool new thing, and now companies need maintenance work done

Thought the same thing. This must not be an issue on Windows either?

Ha, I was just about to make a comment about how the Ableton interface is a perfect example of a dense UI still going strong. Wish I could say the same for most new VST plugins that think I want a delay effect to take up half of my monitor.

A good argument I've heard is that in Europe, when people got their first mobile phone contracts, you were charged per SMS message, whereas in the US, unlimited texting was included in your plan. The consequence of this was that in Eur

As much as I agree with this in principle, there is absolutely no denying that Apple is abusing their power when it comes to consumer lock-in. I find it very hard to argue against regulation which is only meant to make devices more interope

That's actually a great point. I was coming from Windows at that point in time and the contrast alone in UI consistency was huge. But then again, it seems like the MS mantra has always been 'anything goes' when it comes to UI

I'm writing this comment from a 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro, which is hands down the best laptop I've ever used, also for high-performance workloads. I prefer using Mac OS but I'm not married to the OS by any means, and if it

It's so crazy how big the divide between Apple's software and hardware is getting. They're putting out the best hardware ever - by a huge margin - and yet their own internal software quality is going down the drain, fast. The

This is a great point which I haven't heard before in this age-old debate. But until Apple's dominance starts to wane, there's no chance in hell they will provide iMessage for other platforms unless forced by regulation. If p
