Nothing, and in fact I still do. I prefer the Reeder (classic) app https://reederapp.com/classic/ But two things can be true at the same time. I'm still bitter about Google removin…

Ad revenue.

I'm still bitter about Google Reader going away. I endorse this sentiment.

Are we looking at the same graph? It appeared to drop from the 2020 highs, yes. But it's definitely trending upward.

Perhaps they should ban news sites that cover gambling.

"The majority of the screenshots should highlight the app’s main features and functionality. Note that splash and login screens are generally not considered to show the app in use.…

"BigBrand gets it from the same supplier" I don't think commerce (especially at Amazon) works the way you think it does. There is a very good chance that when you buy something at …

light/moderate weight lifting is not "low-intensity active control condition" then?

Amazon could easily solve this problem if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

Why hasn't HackerNews changed the color of the top bar? I thought they did that to honor folks in the tech industry that died.
