"to just show text" is such a tell that you know nothing about UI. Displaying text is extremely complex. This is only 8000 lines because skiaa does the brunt of the job. Also, who …

stopping using youtube altogether I would actually understand

meh, still feel very hypocritical. You have found a way not to pay for something, good for you, but brandishing it as some kind of "perfectly fine solution" is just laughable.

and you also don't contribute to the creators incomes. I can understand people vouching for using youtube premium or nebula instead, but not this.

or just paying for youtube premium ...

I am always stunned that many (most/all) of these high tech gadgets lack a LOT of safety features. I would pay extra for a drone with such safeguards. just the prospect of less cha…

interesting, I will have to give it a look at one of these days ? I heard about it but haven't played it. Looks like it was made from the same team as Ground Control, so this would…

They had some sweet ideas. I just watched a retrospective on 20 years of Double Fine. Tim had some interesting comments in there about how BL came to be. They were avoiding very ha…

happy to hear that this is still going on ! I lost interest in FA around the time when FAF was in its first betas. Planetary Annihilation is more or less a successor but I could no…

oups indeed I meant micro not macro RTS without macro would make no sense

my hot take on RTS : I like the genre (or rather used to like, the last one I loved was SupCom) but I wish somebody would make an RTS with no/minimal macro. Controlling the builder…

I live without a car in SF, partly because I used to do the same in European cities : - it is amazing to be able to walk / use public transport to go everywhere you need to - I jus…

ah the old "I don't know anything about this implementation and why things are made this way but I would have made it 10 times better with half the resources". give me a break

Honestly it is almost funny how Google has been mostly unable to successfully launch new products while they have the capacity to promote them to virtually all of the global north.…

that's a bit of a false dichotomy though. it is not like these 2 products were identical except for sideloading. They don't have the same hardware, Apple has an unlimited ad budget…

It does not look like you can edit your uploads unlike with Play Music. Admittedly that's very probably a feature used by few people (although I know that for all of the people tha…

Well, I guess it is back to local storage for me. I tried youtube music but it is not for me. You can leave it to google to fuck up the same product under 10 different names. At so…

I wonder how much of an advantage it is practice ? It is one such toolkit among others, like React or Compose. It is different from making the whole OS open source. I guess that si…

stupid question : but is there any specific reason why swiftui is not open source ? I am working with jetpack compose these days and it is both open source and documented. I am not…

I distinctly remember a tweet from 4 years ago, "this presidency will be a test of our institutions and counter powers". Well, this did not go _well_. I wish a lot of luck to the B…

wow, it went from almost impossible to just improbable, everything is great then.

unpopular opinion it seems : in personals 1:1 calls, I love seeing the UI disappear and just have a full screen video of my SO/family member.

let's be honest, the fact that allowing flash would also allow webapps not controlled by apple to go on the platform was a huge factor.

I mean : why are they allowed to make it an auction ? If the goal is to break their stronghold on Android, it sounds like it should be mandated as free ?

I wonder why you are getting downvoted so much. I don't know how common bi-men are (probably more than bi erasure makes us believe) but it feels like a least a portion of them are …
