I think Apple already has claimed the "friends and family network" via iMessage. Did Facebook go to a groups/influencer algorithm by choice or is it the result of IRL friend posters all moving to private chats once everyone

Watching football this fall, I've been thinking about a little box that sits on my table and mutes the TV whenever an ad comes on. Not decoding HDMI HDCP or anything, but a webcam + AI or whatever that watches football with me and mute

My annoyance with Keychain has been that items kind of appear there as I type in a username and password on the web. Feels rather ephemeral, like old "saved passwords" in Internet Explorer or whatever. Feels like I'm one brow

People find value in TikTok, obviously, and Google wants part of that pie and is willing to degrade all of our YouTube experience in order to chase it. But very unclear if anyone finds value in Shorts.

Reels in the feed is what makes me hate modern IG. There’s already a Reels tab I never tap! I’m telling you something, please listen.

Are footbridges easy to build in Europe? I've done some preliminary research into how a rural town in the USA would install similar small pedestrian bridges. The costs are astronomical and the environmental review seems nigh impossible

I would love a competing SERP that simply listed the results on Wikipedia, Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc. Have a major section of the page that ALWAYS lists the Wikipedia result. Don't make me add "reddit" to every search term.

I know SFGate as the San Fransisco newspaper website that for some reason comes up when you google for questions about repairing old homes. Seems like they're spending their entire SEO budget on lath and plaster repair guides.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent `old.reddit.com` from reloading every time you click/tap "back"? 1. Visit home page. 2. Click link; read. 3. Press "back". 4. The homepage takes 1-5 seconds to reload, messing up

I would certainly use a search engine that weighted heavily against the current style of SEO articles and towards real blogs and good sites. The top links on Google are indistinguishable from AI articles as-is, so I don't think Google

Still waiting for a search engine that only searches Wikipedia, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Flickr, and a handful of other sites.

I'll never buy a shipped item on Facebook Marketplace. Shop showing me them!

That's how it should work. In reality, 50% of the items FBM shows for a search are non-local "ships to you" items that you'll never buy. But that juices someone's OKR somewhere.

People post liberally to private Groups you're a member of, and you don't need to be their friends. Group posts should be the majority of your newsfeed.

Old.Reddit.com does some kind of page-reload every time you navigate back to the subreddit from a comments page. Incredibly annoying and makes Hacker News feel blazing fast by comparison. Does anyone know how to block that page reload and a

I’d love a map feature that paused directions until the last ~10% of the trip. I know how to get on my local highway and drive for 60 miles! Let me queue up the address but only start talking to me when I need directions.
