I’m pretty sure “minimal design” just means “cool design” nowadays.

Yea em dash with spaces looks better to me too, I find that it’s harder to read if the em dash is there without surrounding spaces. Looks too cramped, not separated enough.

How does Manifest v3 compare to Safari content blocker API in terms of ad blocking capability? Currently AdGuard for Safari (from Mac App Store, the one that uses native content blocking API) has 7 content blockers categories you have to enable, and each of them allow 150k rules, amounting to over a million rules total although you can’t count it like that really. V3’s 30k per extension and 330k total sounds like a lot less.

Is there something more to it than just the amount of rules, is v3 still better than Safari?

What would be the use cases for such tool? If I need to ask, I won’t need it?

Yeah I hadn’t used a Windows machine for a year or so, and fired up Edge Dev just recently. The amount of adbloatware is truly baffling, it’s almost incredible.

Afaik Windows doesn’t ship with a default PDF viewer other than Edge’s, so they probably made a pretty sweet deal with Adobe to let them in to upsell their subscription.

I’m counting 3 sidebars at the least.

…with the mandatory change.org petition.

Yeah it’s been extermely slow with the updates. The Bear 2.0 is currently on Mac-only beta but not yet open (unless you join their beta forum and ask for access), but even then, it doesn’t have the web app. I’ve seen the Bear team say that they did a full rewrite (in C++ I think?) so that it would be easier to implement the web app in future but who knows how many years in the future that is.

Imagine being a Notion user that’s been wishing for sensible things like offline mode or performance improvements on large databases/docs and finding out they’ve spent their time and money on this instead.

Yeah I thought at first the video was skipping or rewinding or something when I tried to play-pause-play my way though it as it kept repeating essentially the same thing over and over.

Sounds like some next-gen Lorem Ipsum.

Yeah I understand that now. I’ve learned a lot about Mastodon in these days and it’s not that bad really. I just had this choice-paralysis as I had this idea that I’d have to pick ONE and that’s it. Kinda like if when joining Reddit you’d have to pick just one subreddit and stick with it.

The big revelation was that it doesn’t matter that much.

I don’t understand what’s the point to this federation thing, other than to offer bad user experince. Shouldn’t “decentralized” be like the number 30 in the long list of things a popular/fun social platform should aspire for, not the number one?

I swear I’ve tried to find an instance but either the focus of the instance is too specific, has only couple dozen people, or doesn’t accept new members because there’s too much of them.

Is the bot spam a problem to any average Twitter user like Elon claims, or just him (one of the most followed account in the app) and maybe couple others?
