You can't really ad-block from astroturfed ads, for example a 'viral' video of Amazon delivery driver dancing on a Amazon Ring doorbell get to the top of a video subreddit. That can't be blocked against. I run agressive

Great job! Before I install it, can I ask - does light / dark mode auto-switch based on the OS setting, I go into darkmode at sunset (and vice versa). I love it when a website follows this, the current wikipidea does not, I'll ins

WordPress probably has the highest barrier to entry when setting it up on a server, but it, for all it's misgivings, does off all of the features in the best ways. If only it was easier to customize. "WordPress is the worst bloggi

I think I might know what this is, and I haven't seen this anywhere else - a person's hands might cover up both corners when using a laptop. Mine certainly do from certain angles. This might be a usability for laptops (and selling

There should be a checkbox here to add a mirror to the ground floor waiting area. If memory serves me correctly, this significantly reduces the amount people complain about waiting because they will look at themselves and it won't feel

This is fantastic! I love it, learnt a few things, the line height one was new to me. And I never thought about putting all the password rules with their state below a form. Thanks! One note, and I'm not sure this one is in - 'Don

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the first thing I enable on a new install is tabbing between UI elements and pressing enter to use them. If you go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (tab) T

Thank you so much for this explanation, I always assumed it a low level to-do. Makes so much sense now, FF has loads of custom add-on menus with all sorts of UIs you don't see anywhere else in MacOS.

After reading that article on Corporate Memphis yesterday, I can't decribe how much I love the design of this landing page.

If anyone is wondering how to eat sardines, open a tin (I like the tins with them in tomato sauce) and just mash them onto some toast. No need for butter. It is a glorious lunch.

From a boarder perspective, maybe the data is about knowing when someone else will buy a dishwasher. If people make similar journeys. Also, this person is now in a certain class of shopper (I think some this may be Experian Mosaic classes),

Macromedia Dreamweaver - It was 10x times better than Microsoft FrontPage (I was very young, please don't judge). Mac OS X - Moving from Windows ME on my Packard Bell tower, to an iMac G3 with Mac OS X was quite a pivotal moment in my

I feel like the archive one is easy to fix. This is MS Outlook's and MacOS's archive button - https://i.imgur.com/Csjpgth.png - if you can't see that, it's a filing cardboard box with it's oversized

I love this! The author didn't mention Mimestream ( https://mimestream.com/ ) which is a great MacOS email app, I think, but don't quote me on this, that app is from an ex-apple employee. I too enjoy inbox zero and

Ah yes of course, they need to release a Windows and Android app. How very apple-centric of me. Sorry about that.

Genuine question because I can't think of a good answer - why is iMessage (Apple's messaging service) not on the list. It looks like it would have a good few green ticks on the chart.

The writer at the end refunds the money and messages Patreon to fix the issue, I think that would go massively in his favour in the rare change it ended up in front of a judge.

The mobile web site is particularly awful. The app Apollo - https://apolloapp.io/ - is fantastic for browsing reddit if you're on an iDevice. (I have nothing to do with the apps development, just a fan), it is such an
