YouTube announced in March that they have 125 million premium subscribers. I think they are carefully riding the balance between being free for the masses with ads while milking th…

On android I could click year and change that to gow old I am.

For projects like this the first thing I like to look at is a ChangeLog. That gives you a sense of the momentum. If you click on the "News" menu item, you need to have Telegram app…

They are going to deeply regret going with two digits year codes. ;) So amazed at how Libreoffice just keeps on keeping on. Such a great free open source suite to keep on every mac…

The left one is better - reminds me why I prefer Google Docs.

We need more EQ (emotional intelligence) in our UI design. This is an area that AI will be unlikely to solve. Designing a SAAS that can motivate and relax and not manipulate or str…

This is useful to me as I live in Google Docs. Thanks.

I clicked with interest. Ugly cookie popup was the first thing I read. Then some big ads at the top and sides begged for my attention. Next was the paywall box selling me some comp…

Sure there are risks- but it is fantastic functionality to collaborate in a web first app like Figma or Google Workspace.

I have kept a book reading log on google sheets since 2007. Highly recommended.

"502 Bad Gateway" - site is down

It's not on that wikipedia page but in older Linux desktops using XFree86 windows system (before X.Org) there were always warnings that certain monitor settings could break your mo…

I love the idea of decentralised apps for freedom of thought and privacy reasons. One quibble with this claim: "with no server running 24/7 just to sync the data every once in a wh…

Would there be a growing job market for people who master the Fuschia ecosystem now? Or is it basically just for Google employees working on Google devices?

RIP hangouts. My family chat for many years.

Does C standard naming have a Y2K problem? :)

EXACTLY!

Google Takeout is good insurance. I backup my full google dataset every 6 months or so. When Google AI blocks an account, why don't they offer a window of using Google Takeout to g…

This is a bit cynical. Mailchimp emails are well known for having 1 click unsubcribe by default. There has been a huge resurgence in email newsletters for companies and content cre…

I remember when Frogbot came out, it was pretty amazing. You could train against it and improve very quickly. However it also seemed to accelerate boredom with q1 multiplayer for m…

I think this is partially correct. I hate the FU patterns as well, but there are so many lame aggregator sites scraping for viral content. I would say FU patterns are: 80% trying t…

I agree. When I read of Dolphin or MAME updates I feel like the world is a better place. Why is this? It seems bigger than just the joy of knowing old games will be preserved forev…

Totally agree. Fine volume control is a pain.

And sometimes they ask for "Sign in with Google", you say yes, and then they still try to make you create a unique password.

"Ok, Google" makes everyone hate saying the word "Google". It is now linked to the emotions of frustration and anger forever.
