Bootstrap is perfectly fine. I know there's a lot of CSS snobs out there who rail on it but it's a great framework and perfectly acceptable starting point.
Better than a decade ago when you had to worry about 5 different rendering engines. Nothing worse than finding a great solution and then seeing it works in most of them but not all, so you have to polyfil it
I'd say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial
The ATO online solution is more than enough for 90 of people, comparing it to other systems I've seen internationally (like the US / Canada), it's a godsend.
Great to have a platform we're it's relatively easy to put in your income, dedications and other crap and get a reasonable assessment without having to pay some leach company to do fuck all.

Enjoying Matrix, there seems to be an actual focus on privacy. We're using it for the development comms for Kbin. Feels like an alternative version of discord
I remember when it came out, it only launched in a few countries and I was super surprised to see it on the play store in Australia (when historically we usually get fuck all)
I paid 299 AUD for it. An unthinkable price nowadays
I remember getting both. The first gen was pretty sweet, had an interesting texture on the back. The second one came out in a 3G/4G model and was great. I've got it in a draw still, no idea what I could do with it nowadays.
I remember the high end Android tablets being in a rough place because of app performance and layouts (where some apps still don't offer a really good tablet centric layout, they give you a big mobile layout)
I remember looking at the Galaxy tab range about 5-6 years ago and while they had good processors, they seemed to struggle on multi-core performance and smoothness.
It could totally be a different scenario today, but it feels like their reputation has been set, the Android tablets are a poor man's iPad (which is a bit funny considering how expensive some can be!)
Loved the Nexus 7. I remember getting the 4G model and finally being able to do crap on my way to work (back in the days when 4G connectivity was hard to get back on Android tablets)
Waited ages for webp to have great browser support and it finally does. Plenty of image compression services let you choose a webp output which is a great space saver :)
These types of changes feel like they're a decade too late. We've had a solid 10-15 years of smartphone mainstream usage and it's crazy that they haven't been banned in schools until now
Wonder how the GDPR is playing a role here. There's supposed to be a data retention clause that you can only keep actively used data / essential information. It could be them reacting to provisions like that or they could just be making more terrible adhoc changes..
Love a good flex layout, more keen on CSS grid and template areas now. So handy to be able to redefine positing with just CSS
