YouTube announced in March that they have 125 million premium subscribers. I think they are carefully riding the balance between being free for the masses with ads while milking those who have the funds to get rid of…
On android I could click year and change that to gow old I am.
For projects like this the first thing I like to look at is a ChangeLog. That gives you a sense of the momentum. If you click on the "News" menu item, you need to have Telegram app installed. :(
They are going to deeply regret going with two digits year codes. ;) So amazed at how Libreoffice just keeps on keeping on. Such a great free open source suite to keep on every machine. Even if it is just a fallback to…
The left one is better - reminds me why I prefer Google Docs.
We need more EQ (emotional intelligence) in our UI design. This is an area that AI will be unlikely to solve. Designing a SAAS that can motivate and relax and not manipulate or stress requires a particular human wisdom.
This is useful to me as I live in Google Docs. Thanks.
I clicked with interest. Ugly cookie popup was the first thing I read. Then some big ads at the top and sides begged for my attention. Next was the paywall box selling me some complicated subscription deal. Dreaming of…
Sure there are risks- but it is fantastic functionality to collaborate in a web first app like Figma or Google Workspace.
I have kept a book reading log on google sheets since 2007. Highly recommended.
"502 Bad Gateway" - site is down
It's not on that wikipedia page but in older Linux desktops using XFree86 windows system (before X.Org) there were always warnings that certain monitor settings could break your monitor hardware permanently. I was…
I love the idea of decentralised apps for freedom of thought and privacy reasons. One quibble with this claim: "with no server running 24/7 just to sync the data every once in a while, you avoid the production of the…
RIP hangouts. My family chat for many years.
Does C standard naming have a Y2K problem? :)
EXACTLY!
Google Takeout is good insurance. I backup my full google dataset every 6 months or so. When Google AI blocks an account, why don't they offer a window of using Google Takeout to get a .zip of all their stuff?
This is a bit cynical. Mailchimp emails are well known for having 1 click unsubcribe by default. There has been a huge resurgence in email newsletters for companies and content creators to have a direct relationship…
I think this is partially correct. I hate the FU patterns as well, but there are so many lame aggregator sites scraping for viral content. I would say FU patterns are: 80% trying to keep people in the walled garden…
I agree. When I read of Dolphin or MAME updates I feel like the world is a better place. Why is this? It seems bigger than just the joy of knowing old games will be preserved forever.
Totally agree. Fine volume control is a pain.
And sometimes they ask for "Sign in with Google", you say yes, and then they still try to make you create a unique password.
"Ok, Google" makes everyone hate saying the word "Google". It is now linked to the emotions of frustration and anger forever.
I hate the smartphone app trend of having embedded browsers. Just launch me to my preferred real browser. Stop trying to trap us in your ecosystem.
I was involved in the Gnome project with fond memories from 1999-2004. I'm amazed to see Matthias Clasen still involved 20 years later. This guy is a hero! True he is paid by Red Hat. But the Linux desktop needs people…
