Reddit has a mobile view that is almost the exact same UI as the AMP page. WHY do they allow Google to run the AMP page instead? I too have switched to DDG solely to avoid Reddit AMP pages.

ThinkPad T61 models changed from 1400x1050 (SXGA+) to 1440x900 (WXGA+) when they went widescreen. They literally just lopped off 150 vertical pixels. There wasn’t some corresponding gain in horizontal space. You could fit the same number of

Yeah, this kind of content/UI is definitely available on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and probably Facebook. YouTube and Twitch though seem to have some of the strongest "content creator" culture and are both still stuck in l

Where is the vertical video app that lets you watch your favorite YouTube/IG/Twitch-type “content creators” on your phone in the same easy/addictive format as Stories? That seems to be what people want, not network produced s

It’s crazy that there aren’t better tools for paid podcasts. Chapo and C*town provide 2 RSS feeds. The free/paid feeds don’t show up next to each other in your podcast app because they’re named differently (dumb). No way to merge feeds

I'm talking mostly about normal tabs in normal desktop browsers. When you open a new tab, it should keep the "Back" history of its parent. Safari for iOS, too, has a feature where you can temporarily go "Back" from

Instagram Stories and Snapchat both prove that there absolutely is a huge demand for mobile-only portrait short-form video content. Maybe not "produced TV shows" in that format, as Quibi seemed to be pushing. But I'd much pre

How about just an option for new tabs to retain a “Back” history to their parent.

ThinkPad X40 is the perfect machine for this. I’d love to see a dedicated disro with only writing + simple local and/or network backup.

I think most of these buildings are great. What I can’t stand are the contemporary “modern” mixed-use buildings sweeping cities such as Seattle. You know the ones: multi-colored, multi-setback, multi-material. Awful.

30" Cinema Display has better than 5k iMac resolution, but at 1x. 160 extra vertical pixels. Still the best monitor around. $3000 MSRP now available used for $200-300.

Exactly. For Reddit the AMP version and the mobile site look almost exactly the same... except the AMP site performs worse due to the AMP restrictions. So none of the "nice" Reddit mobile site features actually work, and supposed

I don't understand why Reddit specifically puts up with AMP. They already have a "good" mobile site. The AMP pages break reddit results and result in the constant annoyance of having to dismiss "Open in App?" bann

Stack Exchange is even better, for sites with sufficiently large communities. Stack Overflow and Ask Different are amazing. But low-traffic SE sites just don't compete. I wish SE would change their account system and/or design so

Don't discount Instagram killing many of those communities. So much easier to take a picture on your phone and post it to your Instagram page or story. Better dopamine rush, too, from a bunch of Like/Comment notifications rather t

I hope this does not change the usability of large numbers of tabs in Chrome, which are still completely usable when they shrink down to Favicon size. In contrast to Safari, which never shrinks tabs below ~1 inch and instead changes the tab
