I'd actually like to see someone try to slam their fist down on a table while drinking coffee without spilling.

If you can achieve the desired UX on web, I see few reasons to build a native app. But of course it can be hard to work with web technology sometimes; Javascript and WASM can't do everything and they aren't the best developer experience compared to more moderns languages.

Even for offline usage, there is increasing support for progressive web apps. For example, I don't even need to be connected to the internet to use Exaclidraw after I've loaded the app once and installed it as a PWA.

Then there are times when you simply need access to native platform APIs. SQLite is a a very important technology that isn't easily used from a web app. Most of the powerful APIs you get from an OS like the file system or graphics APIs are extremely watered down for the web.

OK this cements my belief that people who work in marketing are batshit insane.

Even after seeing backlash, they doubled down and kept running the ad.

JS is a lost cause.

Can we start a new web with a better language/platform already?

Wow I actually had a boss that wore these pants and wouldn't let me upgrade from a decade out-of-date visual studio C.

Use a tiling window manager like sway.

Get some big HDDs and self host your own file storage on zfs. Same for media servers like jellyfin. You can also host qBitTorrent web client so it's accessible from anywhere.

Set up a VM in Hetzner cloud and host vaultwarden.

Expose your services over wireguard.

8, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7.

The rest are not worthy.

I need to know who to blame, can I get a source?

Seems like right now it's Iranian Americans.

They call it: funflation.

No. You made that up and now you're calling it that. I hate these basic-ass brainwashing media outlets so much.

Is Good Morning America just ads disguised as news?

You say that like it can't also happen to symbol names.

You don't mess with the Zohran.

I don't take issue with the animations per se. They could be faster and transfer input immediately, and I would take no issue.

The real crime is how MacOS window animations take forever and don't switch input focus immediately.

Call your representative and tell them you won't vote for them if they don't support impeachment.

You guys are still using Chrome?

You gave it a generous amount of your time. I'd say if you don't like it in the first few episodes it might not be for you. I was hooked almost immediately.

Welp, I guess we didn't need a terrorist attack to justify war with Iran after all.

Does anyone know if there's a domain blocklist for smart TV telemetry? If so, I could easily put it into my DNS server, like I already do for ads.

I'd like to continue using my streaming apps without resorting to yet another device. I have an HTPC that runs KODI but I think it'd be a pain to replace all of my streaming apps.
