A lot of those pure places to share are all still there. They just don't pay Google to be in the centralised Internet club and somewhat stay in the shadows to avoid being bombarded with litigation bs. Becoming mainstream is usually a d

The tools existed for a while and faded away. Swiffy was the main one.

Its true. Unity kind of took its place in the game space. Web pages - nothing. They're all using some boring non visual JS library.

Is it strange that they made a whole bunch of thick clients for what should have been a browser based product? Least they made a Linux client, good on em. Edit. Read more, I get the clients now. Wow. Its so rare to see products think about

Yeah, I actively resist it. Running old versions of products that I own. I'm 100% on Linux now running pretty much everything on Wine which seems to be more compatible than Windows if you're going down this path. Nothing good has

I'm guessing this will never run on Chrome, especially after manifest v3?

Should have just said Mastodon is the new Google+ It'll serve a niche group then be put out to pasture.

Which part is disconnected from reality? Google is a horrible search engine, you routinely have to hack it to get searches not linking to the centralised web. The first 5 results are ads, followed by Youtube links or a Quora/Reddit on

So is Kagi a stand alone search engine or is it like every other Google alternative that just pays Bing for API use?

Yep, also a lot just migrated some components to more suitable languages but the for the most part remained Ruby. You can scale anything if architected right. You can't make languages fast and fun to write in if they aren't that t

That and it's still by far the language backing the most startups that made it big. Ruby gets results.

Sorry should have clarified - Messaging products. Facebook/Meta is what most people use. Be it FB Messenger/WhatsApp/Insta etc. Google have nothing in their own ecosystem people use.

I meant in messaging. No one uses Duo, Allo, Messaging etc.

Great idea that solves a lot of problems. Especially the blue bots.

Not only did they lose any chance of competing with iMessage. Meta took over their home turf, Google has nothing people use on Android.

Any. You're describing the trolley problem which is silly. The car should be traveling at a speed where it can break and stay in its lane to avoid any at fault accident. Nothing more, nothing less.

There is something to the aerodynamics of cars today, though unlikely the main driver. When I've towed a caravan it picks up a lot of bugs while the windscreen is relatively clean the entire trip. I drive a 7 year old vehicle.

Looks like the fun police arrived. Seriously, fire any coward lawyers erroring on the side of caution and get some that are versed in the NRA playbook.

Offer a side-load option for performance till Google pull their heads out their rears. Lottery apps had to do this for years.

I think what made Skype popular was it worked everywhere and was quite good at bypassing firewalls/DPI. It was everyone's goto as it had a high chance of success especially in schools/uni. CGNAT could be another explanation.

1. From memory one was payment to real-debrid and another my VPS provider. The blocks seem arbitrary, sometimes payment would go through other times not. In any case after CC and Paypal failed the BTC option just worked. 3. The exchange rat

Possibly, it's been a while since I've used it. Companies make weird decisions all the time, like MS killing Skype's p2p system which destroyed the whole app. Quoting mobile as the reason when there was no reason the PC/

For a con, blockchain has served me extremely well. Its allowed me to pay when paypal/credit cards/my bank have decided they're going to not allow payment to a service. It's allowed me to get paid cash in hand without ha

That last thing you want is two systems arguing about what they see. Also its lame to downvote for disagreeing.
