White/black "indicators" of toggles are horrid. A lot of phone and meeting apps do this and it's horrible. As for mute, I think it's pretty objective at this point that an icon based toggle should show the current s

Maybe a bit cynical and hyperbolic, but the point is good. I'd boil it down further and say it's a focus on short term gains over long term gains. If the pan flashes, that's a win, full stop. When the pan stops flashing and p

Welp, company did stupid thing, time to let the OS company have 100% control and profit over the entire computer. A bit of an outsized response, no? To be clear, I disagree with Zoom's rationale (avoiding a single confirmation click wh

This assumes there is one and only one reason to buy an iOS device, and it's because the platform is locked down. But that's not true is it? Is that the one and only reason you like iOS?

Your argument works just the same the other way. > I don't understand why people can't just buy an Android if that's what they like. I don't understand why you people can't just use the apps they trust and let me

Seriously yes. Crontab isn't meant to keep your services up. We have a proper service manager now, out with the hacks.

MacOS works exactly like what you are purporting to be undesirable, but I bet you have a Mac, and I bet your experience is none the worse for Apple's wild west policies on it.

If you presume that the EU has actually signed off on this and all the other DMA changes Apple announced, then the DMA at least as it affects Apple is useless. If iPadOS was deemed separate by the EU prior to the DMA rulings, that's i

As sibling points out, it's about what the EU thinks. "iPadOS" runs iOS apps, and iOS apps can be full fledged "iPadOS" apps with a single binary. The distinction is a business distinction, not a technical one. Ther

> iPadOS on the iPad is a completely different platform in the eyes of Apple and the European Commission. Is this correct, or is Apple making the distinction here?

That's the thing about the DMA. These provisions only apply if you hit a certain extreme market presence. These regulations do not apply to those small companies.

It's unmarked sarcasm. I don't think it's become easier or simpler in all seriousness. This isn't a bad thing- as things become more important, more concerns rise above the surface, and as more concerns rise above the su

I read it as tribalism. Internet commentator with investments in Amazon (either via stock or just by choosing to use their products) decides to spend their time unquestioningly promoting a trillion dollar company for free. It's a tale

I wish JS libraries would stop using default exports. They are not ergonomic as soon as you want to export one more thing in your package, which includes types, so all but the most trivial package requires multiple exports. Just use a sensi

We've come so far. Using a language from the 60s to write markup in a language from the 90s all so we can feel good by avoiding writing imperative code in another language from the 90s. Seriously though, why can HTML not have a client

Nowadays you can just get half correct tutorials from W3 schools written in an extremely authoritative tone. Or have ChatGPT give you the same quality of learning, and with the same authoritative tone.

This continually blows my mind. Even Gmail is this way. If they just put a flex box in there it'd be mostly fine.

Just before Chrome, Firefox was quite popular, at least among the terminally online. But it wasn't enough to take the crown iirc.

That's iframes. There is an older, even more archaic spell that lets you do iframes, but not inline. Those are, as we all know, superior.

Yeah, it turns out vertical align works differently in tables, so you can just make a one cell table and vertical center all day. I think there was a Chrome developers blog post about it recently.
