Is it because apps are usually faster? Milliseconds make a difference in UX.

We are sick of the current digital world. There is a trend of people writing about it.

By viewing it from different angles and reflecting on it in their very own ways, people are organically finding ways to heal from the dopamine trap, by escaping from the endless scroll cage, canned algorithms, and fast-food short videos."

I have a theory: what was scarce once, is not anymore.

Social networks make people tired/satisfied/overwhelmed of "interacting online", and in the worst possible way: passively, not producing anything and just consuming it.

It sucks.

It is mentioned now. Btw, it looks very similar to.

It's really annoying to read these articles that deliberately do not respect basic grammar rules. Is the purpose of it to make the reader dumber?

I always think it is frustrated kids showing off how "rebel" they are, by not following basic grammar rules. It automatically loses my attention and respect. I can't take it seriously.

OrganicMaps is such a great app. I did not know it was owned by this type of organisation. I hope they sort it out.

We should start generating non sense information to feed up these hungry crawlers. The problem is that they will keep working to find a way to mimic human behaviour to get the real data.

Is it hard to have it with Dvorak keyboard layout?

They forgot to mention that the number one cause of death is a disease associated with by a lack of physical activity or prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity.

They "gave away" to make more profits. It's strategic.

Sure it is! I am talking in general. I was a paid user and stopped it. I could not ignore the opinionated garbage factory it became.

I never played it. What makes it being rated so good?

It's really hard to find serious journalism being done out there, and The Guardian is definitely not helping on that.

Some people call this phenomenon "the enshitification of services and web".

I try to see it as an opportunity for creators and entrepreneurs.

I rarely press the power button on my laptop.

I suspect Apple tracks/measure the usage of the button and took the decision to design it hidden.

All of these ordinary footages should be preserved.

I did not understand why they called it "sophisticated". Did I miss something?

Honest question: Would you say Google Search is getting better and better?

Intellij IDEA does that too, and the installer is a very big file. I suspect an entire headless IDE is installed in the remote host.

The man built a software used by billions and still gets nervous talking in public :)

It was a delightful presentation.

It's the general feeling, I have been observing it. We are missing the personal touch, similar to what we had in small bookstores, cafeterias, and restaurants where, on each visit, we had a different experience, the walls reflecting the dedication (or lack of it) beliefs and dreams of the owner. The commoditization of social profiles, always packaged in the same way by a huge conglomerate, telling us all the time what we should consume, shaping who we are and what we believe by blatantly exploiting the dopamine sensors of our brain and other mental triggers to steal our attention at any cost. All of this is making us sick and desiring to reset it all, hoping that someone will do something to bring back the real fun and the creativity of the Internet on top of our search results again, and not lost somewhere in this sea of avatars resharing, reposting, forwarding and never creating anything themselves.

The real good and fun Internet still exists, it is just much harder to find it.

It's different. Nowadays, central banks create money out of nothing. Companies can create these loyalty points but they need to pay the customer back with services when they come back to exchange it.
