I mean, what would you expect? The fact is, browsers aren't a product, they're a platform feature. Users have zero incentive to ever switch from whatever their OS came bundled with, unless you make a massive advertising push. The

The robotaxis struggle with dropoffs and pickups for this reason I think. In a dense city, there’s often nowhere you can legally stop. Real taxi drivers will often just stop in the middle of the street, or double park temporarily.

Yeah, GP is forgetting what the browser landscape looked like in 2008. IE was awful, and Firefox was…perfectly cromulent. Chrome was so much better than any of the competition.

Yup -- you see this same effect on articles about Apple's draconian OS policies. When Microsoft bundled IE with Windows that was terrible . But Apple bundling Safari and locking out competing browsers? That's just what's

I already hate SafetyNet™ on Android, which punishes people for rooting their phones. This basically appears to be trying to bring that to the web. Want to go to an online banking site? Then we'll need to make sure your computer is un

I love how, now that Twitter (sorry, 𝕏) is incredibly unreliable and glitchy, they want to move into banking of all things. Sign me up! I can't wait to have all my money accidentally zeroed out because the one remaining software engi

Yup -- people don't realize that if you want to get large-scale projects done, you have to step on a few people's toes.

I don't think it can actually -- I believe if you start your title with "How", HN will automatically delete it; editing it won't stop the deletion, AFAIK.

Somewhat related: has there been any consideration toward allowing titles to start with “how”? The current behavior of automatically deleting the word results in some strangely constructed article titles as seen here.

I love the concept, but charging people for what is essentially a joke seems excessive.

The desktop app is the biggest missing piece IMO. Hosting updates from various government agencies (weather services, transit agencies, etc), is the thing that Twitter is (was?) really good at. Without a desktop app, though, no agency would

You're getting downvoted but honestly I'd agree insofar as the UI. Google Maps is loaded with suggested content . What about lunch? Need a haircut? Check out these top rated places !! Would you recommend Google Maps to a friend

I enjoy the bizarrely self-congratulatory tone in which this is written. Congratulations! We prevented a popular service from adopting an open standard! Mission accomplished! Open standards are the worst!

Another interesting aspect of these classic sites is that they’re pretty much completely compatible with screen readers with zero additional effort.

It's time to ban all social media, or at the very least any kind of "for you" feed. It's the only way to put a stop to this kind of engagement maximization.

Who could have guessed that making "verification" trivially easy would have downsides???

Agreed -- I realize this is a bit of a hot take, but I think we should just blanket-ban all forms of social media.

Everyone always talks up Godot as the Next Big Thing, but as far as I can tell zero notable games have been made with it yet. Are there any Godot games out there that are more than just tech demos?

Ukraine amounts to giving military aid to a sovereign country. Potentially controversial, but not exactly "instantly cause WW3" material. Your proposal is, what exactly? Airdropping crates of machine guns over western China? I&#x2
