I was happy that they removed 3D Touch because some stuff was simply inaccessible to iPhone SE users.

People here like to say that BigCo has ruined the independent web and that everything is now siloed and blablabla but the truth is that running an independent website fucking sucks in many regards

Safari has a very low limit of tabs open. I don't manage the tabs of my phone at all, I just let them pile up, and eventually I always hit the limit. Thankfully there's an option that automatically deletes all tabs that you haven't opened in a month.

Your iphone 6s is probably faster than the average android phone sold today.

The desktop client is, to me, not as performant as it should be. Many actions take several hundred milliseconds when it's obvious that they could be much faster.

I hate, hate, hate how so many web services have started to force 2fa on us. I have many accounts that I don't care that much about and I use bitwarden so it is extremely unlikely that I will get hacked and if I do I don't really care. Still, they force me to open my email account every time I log in because my cookies or ip address do not match my last login so I can input a stupid code. Big offenders in this regard are google, amazon, twitch, outlook, twitter (rarely). I know 2fa exists. If I don't enable it it is because I don't want to.

You are saying that web apps are slow because of the server, when we all have seen web apps that are laggy even when showing animations when you hover over elements. Users with slow CPUs exist!

That is a distortion of my entire comment.

There are sites where the user split per sex is around 2:1. The female-dominated ones are generally more vapid than the male-dominated ones. You can check yourself. That is not to say that male-dominated ones are never vapid. To put it in other words, I would say that almost all female-dominated ones are vapid, while "only" the majority of the male-dominated ones are vapid.
