Worst custom scrolling I've seen in a long time... Completely disabled the swipe-back feature on my MacBook.

Eh? I don't see any custom scrolling and swipe-back is working fine for me.

It's broken for me too, on Chrome and a 2017 MBP

This is a rather low content/high marketing post, but the idea is interesting. I'd be more interested in a description of how it actually works, but I guess that's FittedCloud's secret sauce.

This seems interesting and sounds like a fun project - but... How many EC2 instances can just be turned off and on? If they can, they're probably part of an autoscaling group and already scale based on required capacity... Or they're workstations and can be turned off on a schedule (as mentioned in the article), ie: work hours only.

As much as I want to, I can't think of a purpose for this. Would be fun as a Kubernetes scheduler! :D

I don't know how to setup an autoscaler group on EC2. But if I used this wouldn't I not have to set one up? What if you don't have perfect information about your fleet and some instances are workstations?
