The "Ship in Distress" title editorializing here is part of a very active flood of "lol zuck broke the law" both here and elsewhere. Which is probably why it's now flagged off the front page.

It's being drummed up to "the ship was in distress and this is illegal under maritime law" absolutely everywhere that I've seen. Like this post. The "Ship in Distress" part of "Mark Zuckerberg's Ya

Yeah, drag-scrolling and page-jumping on eink is solidly in the "not great" category. Maybe you could draw a line showing where [some line of text] is moving to? Like starting from where the finger starts, draw a "timeline&q

Interesting - that definitely seems like a more useful approach than "click to advance one page in that direction, but only if you don't click on the bar itself". I kinda wonder if that's possible to do OS wide nowadays

Someone chose "most recent" when implementing "most recent", and then that decision automatically controls what is shown next. They could have chosen "most recently liked" or "most liked" or "mi

It'd need some kind of compile-time hardware-feature-detection, yea? That seems probably feasible since proc macros can do essentially anything they like (worryingly).

There's a "trending" feed on nearly every implementation including the official Mastodon one (hashtags have their own "trending" too), and chronological definitely fits "an algorithm" imo - it has all the

We've got laptops with modular USB-C ports that solve this effectively perfectly. An audio one would be even simpler. The only reason you don't see it everywhere is because they're being outrageously hostile to repairs, and

Yea, it's terse and clipped in some sentences, and then changes tone abruptly and randomly, and paragraphs really don't flow together at all. It feels awkward to read, and there is a lot more to read here than there needs to be..

Unfortunately agreed. Browser sandboxing is usually quite a lot better than apps. The table they provide is rather biased though, many of the things they show in PWA's favor are only true in the most trivial sense, and are easily wo

Some hotkeys are hard or unusable (e.g. some of the ones that conflict with the browser itself, like esc and ctrl-l and ctrl-t/w/q). Plenty work just fine.

Ribbons are splotchy and weird, and have designs that don't line up and stars that are misformed. Are they going to use it as an official poster or something? It is it just a side competition? Feels like they might come to regret sprea
