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 tim…

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 w…

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 …

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…

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 onl…

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.

> Crux doesn't seem to support desktop targets Only partially true: macOS is supported, and one can fall back to the web. But you're right in that native Windows and Linux are stil…

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 kn…

The web platform, which just recently gained tolerable text wrap? https://webkit.org/blog/16547/better-typography-with-text-wr...

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 abomi…

> alternative AppView, but then if you are only on the alternative you are invisible to anyone who is only on Tangled That’s misunderstanding the at protocol. There is a difference…

> `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 sy…

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…

> 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 …

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 almos…

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…

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.

> The firm started out with a couple of desktops and an NFS server, and 10 years later ended up with tens of thousands of high-end GPUs, hundreds of thousands of CPUs, and hundreds…

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 …
