They are so thin-skinned and cancellation happy when it comes to their own reputation.

The answer is in the article.

There are literally millions of people who expected this to be the big reveal about aliens. It's crazy how the US military has been teasing the UFO community during the last few years.

Clearly Google was kind enough to identify the adtracking as a type of privacy-hostile malware. Now, if only they could extend the courtesy to the horror show that is Google Analytics.

Reddit has lots of valuable info, especially if you are looking for tips on products, but the UI isn't just bloated, it's downright hostile with its dark patterns to make you use their terrible mobile app.

The newsletter is really interesting if you're into the science of marketing. It's very action oriented and fast to read.

Some additional feedback:

* I don't get workspaces. I assume they are for projects but currently there is only one workspace available so maybe a small explanation is in order.

- If I create a new page and hit the top-right Save button on the first guide page, it publishes the page with a public URL. I was expecting the app to save the current setup for further work.

- I'm not a fan of the two-column design for the dashboard as it implies there is a direct relationship between the columns, which isn't true (I'm probably thinking of a three-pane UI in Outlook where the second pane is a list of emails and the third is the contents of a specific email). I don't really see a reason for having two columns as the main layout for the dashboard.

+- I REALLY like that you can customize the sharable page URL when setting up a new page. However, the app allowed me to enter a custom slug without being on a plan (step 4), which got silently ignored and a randomly generated slug was displayed. BUT I was still able to go back and enter a custom slug in the page settings (step 4) and have it actually work as an public URL.

- Some of the pop-up windows have "Close modal" as the close button text.

- Almost every page - when in list view - has two buttons that do the exact same thing only the buttons have different designs and positions. Example: on Manage Pages (/[uid]/page), there is a purple "Create page (resume)" button at the top right corner AND a gray "+ Create a new Page" above the list of pages.

- On Manage Pages (/[uid]/page), Create a new Page gives the impression of being disabled as the text is gray set against a gray background. The same design issue occurs on other admin pages.

- I was able to set up a domain with an empty name field on https://admin.burner.page/[uid]/domain/create. I think it broke stuff because now I have one "unnamed" domain on /domain page.

- The CSS file for my test page is a whopping 500 KB.

+ I like that you can easily add a background image using Unsplash...

- ...but the Unsplash image version chosen is the biggest one, resulting in a image file that's 3.38 MB @ 6000x4000px.

- On Manage Upload, when in List view, images cannot be deleted from the drop down menu (the option is disabled).

I love it when a business has an instantly appealing branding, here using the burner phone metaphor that makes lots of sense. Personally I would like the visual branding to play off burner phones more (and still be corporate enough), to give it a more distinct personality in a super crowded market.

Anyways, good luck, I'm sure this will be a successful.

I've used this tutorial [0] to get the built-in inspector to work with Fx chrome elements.

I guess these extensive evals are impossible to run without the aid of the providers due to the costs involved. Anyways, I keep coming back to Review Signal because frankly, the competition are a bunch of scam artists and grifters.

They have exactly 1.63B reasons to sell. You don't get to judge them with zero insight into their business and visions for their lives.

Have you considered creating a web app/site to lessen the impact when Google finally pulls the rug for reason n+1? Or is the app dependent on mobile APIs?

CSS takes another step towards becoming a complete programming language. At some point, you will be able to do front-end and back-end in nothing but CSS in the cloud using serverless code [0].

[0] If you are working on this, you should feel ashamed.

What about dedicated WP hosting like WP Engine, Kinsta or Flywheel?

One alternative is O&O ShutUp10 (free) that does the same things using a GUI: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

It works on my Firefox profile and I just updated to v. 89.

It's the plugins and the possibilities they bring that makes Firefox great. It means that you aren't held hostage by Google and whatever their corporate goals for the quarter might be, that you can customize Firefox to fit your needs.

I really like the simplicity of the UI. So many competitors look awful due to their design and monetization choices.

Have you thought about checking for the most popular TLDs?

For what purpose? Who are you targeting with this information?

I would really like a collection of open source and privacy-aware web based language tools, preferably supported directly by the browser or as a plugin. It's crazy that the only language tool browsers support by default is a mediocre spellchecker enabled for the textarea, the most basic of input elements.

Twitch, Discord and other gaming related communities for the young ones. Twitter attracts the 20-something crowd.

That sounds crazy complicated for what's essentially a simple CRM. There are TONS of these available as easy-to-use SaaS, probably niche ones for this type of charity too.

Also, as usual, the software itself is rarely the problem. Maybe ask yourself why are they still on pen and paper in 2021. My guess? Major resistance to change, employees lacking IT skills, etc. Basically, you will not only have to pick a CRM but manage the organizational change, educate employees, etc.

Tool comparison and review sites are absolutely terrible spam traps and have completely taken over Google SERPs, so there is definitely a market for someone to do in-depth high quality reviews with actual rankings instead of the usual here-are-20-tools-we-are-going-to-briefly-describe-so-good-luck-comparing-them-yourself-sucker blog spam.

I've never heard about Chief of Staff as an executive positon at companies before and found this super interesting.

"I can see how some of you would say switch to pm2 or something newer"

I was more thinking you should pay the devs to patch this if it is so mission critical for your business. Also, accountability is a funny word when it comes to code that is completely free.

While many employees at Citizen felt the Pacific Palisades incident was a huge mistake, Andrew Frame looked at it differently. While Frame showed some contrition, he sees the bounty experiment as a "massive net win," a step on the way for his app to become a private safety network that is "going into what the government is failing to do," which is, in the company's mind, failing to keep people safe, according to his Slack response to Prince.

Citizen's culture seems fundamentally rotten and I think I understand why with this CEO.

This is standard PR work as every company tries to reshape reality to fit their business needs. The only difference is that good PR people know better than to use weird terms like 'decentralizing truth' and 'misinformation'. You can tell that Brian Armstrong wrote this.

Just nu svettas det mer än det regnar hos Klarna i Stockholm.

Typically embassy staff are well vetted for being loyal to their governments. Also, some embassy staff are straight up legal spies, tasked with carrying out clandestine work for their governments. These are not people who you would recruit if you weren't absolutely sure of their allegiances and beliefs.

People labeling issues as "drama" way become a convenient way to disengage from important discussions. Unless, of course, it happens to them, then suddenly it's not drama but something the entire world needs to pay attention to.
