It's all either porn or self-help slop

Quite a few of them look off on mobile, they either have no edge margins at all or they're too large and force the user to scroll horizontally

My guess is that it's less about the architecture and more about the blast radius and the number of users

They could give more funding to SailfishOS, for example

It arrived at least 6 years ago, at least in Europe. Before the fairly recent ban you could get it delivered to your mailbox from a website

Hamburger menu is not a good UX abstraction, that's why the mass usage stage of it was pretty short lived and most people are leaving it for more obvious patterns, like tab bars

It's interesting that you bring up Netflix. While their initial offering of having a good selection of movies in one subscription was very attractive, their expansion and eventual entry to public stock market caused it to be pretty much synonymous with "slop" in TV and movie circles, which I think makes a very good case that "big production studio" != "good quality productions".

Warner Bros specifically, while still a very large studio, has been relatively generous with funding more risky movies, and there is a lot of warranted caution that this consolidation is going to result in streamlining everything into taking as few risks as possible and aiming for broadest appeal and highest possible gross margins, which is a terrible thing for anything that could be considered art.

> A visa allows you entry

That's incorrect, holding a B1/B2 US visa only allows you to arrive at the port of entry, the actual permission to enter the country is always left to the border officer interviewing you

> Beiermeister started at OpenAI in mid-2024 as a part of a wave of hires from Meta who viewed themselves as trying to change tech companies from the inside

Looks like that's not really effective, even if you're at the executive level

Pretty sure this doesn't remove Activation Lock so it shouldn't make a difference

yes those are obviously the same, after all lions are known for running industrial-scale farms where they force millions of gazelles to procreate and then keep them in tiny cages for the entirety of their short lives so that other lions can conveniently buy prepackaged gazelle meat in a supermarket not even having to ever associate the pack of meat with a once living gazelle
