It’s a bit surprising, sure. It’s basically a tablet - in 2022, an underpowered one. It was underpowered as a console 6 years ago. It has very few third party games (ok, you can play Skyrim and Witcher 3, but most of the games just are not

Everything under the umbrella of “gnu net” always struck me as both pie-in-the-sky redo-everything, and vaporware, at the same time. I did not look at any details, just were at some talks of its proponents (now almost 10 years ago!). But ma

Ahhhh that makes sense. Yes, I hate when I see a date picker for birthday. I don't need to pick a date on birthday! But when it's meeting or airplane ticket, it makes sense. So, picker is good when you don't actually know t

by shp0ngle 5y ago
Do people actually use and like date pickers? As a user, every time I see one, I groan and fight it instead of liking to use it. But I haven't seen any A/B tests. Does date picker really improve user experience?

Stop using passwords entirely. That's my dream alternative. Password managers are stupid because the problem they solve is dumb. They act like fake users inputting passwords into little boxes. I don't know how to solve that issu

I frankly thing password managers are the most stupid thing. We fake users inputing text to input boxes and spend crazy time figuring out how to do that and how to get around various sites trying to block that, so the site can still pretend
