I didn't have any expectations and still left unimpressed. All of the dark patterns are already there. No timeline control, no web UI, everything is aimed at data harvesting and it brings absolutely zero new innovation. It's kinda

Or any custom front-end! Honestly if threads supports activitypub then Twitter is gone just like that - they show that they can afford to do everything Twitter does and without the lockdowns, whining and negging.

I feel like DSL is becoming obsolete these days in favor of general programming (e.g. Python). I really like Hurl but every time we use it we revert back to simple Python because something is slightly off or missing (they just added XPath s

I love my Quest and will definitely get Quest 3 but the only reason I don't use it more because it's a thing on my head and that will never be fun long-term use until it doesn't feel like a thing on my head. Apple's take

No please no. Can we just leave javascript and all of it's flavors behind already. All of this innovation and people want to program in _transpiled_ programming language? It's like turles all the way down but it's just hacks

Google lense can do that! I actually shop a lot through various apps with reverse image search (in SEA both Lazada and Shopee support this) and the results are alright at best but it can be a major time saver. It's often the only way t
