An app developed by hobbyists who, if not passionate about it, at least care enough to spend their time developing and contributing to it, even if it's free

vs.

An all-star team of designers and engineers who are bogged down in corporate bureaucracy and do the absolute minimum to maintain their positions, while saving energy to do things that they actually enjoy. Like, oftentimes, it is developing the aforementioned free apps.

Nobody tell this guy about the state of modern physics.

I don't want a kill-switch. I want a turbo-button to slice metal sheets with a jet of cum.

Haha, you think those are bad? Try any professional tools, like CAD's, DAW's, or 3d modelling software.

Or, even worse, any internal corporate software, the bigger and the older the company is, the better... at being the worst, that is.

Or. actually, just go to an any airline's office to buy a ticket and witness the atrocity they have on their monitors. No, those are not blue screens of death. That bunch of gibberish is the actual UI. And the only way to interact with it is by typing in commands that read like something that Lovecraftian creatures would sound like.

My website is running off of spare resources on my 10w router, and yet my 30w monitor that I've been using for 10+ years still says that I've saved exactly 0.0 trees every time I turn it on. Thank you, now please fuck off with that bullshit.

Yes. Putin is famous for dodging questions by rambling about random shit, but this time he really outdid himself by starting rambling not even a minute into the "interview" and going on for 2 hours straight.

Musk fired most of the moderators, and those messages are being sent automatically after a certain time period. I did an experiment before - searched for phrases like "death to nationality" and "kill all nationality", with various nationalities, and reported a dozen each to check if there is any bias: There isn't, all of them were ignored. I believe any moderators left, if there are still any, work by the queue of most reported first, and the top of the queue is most likely filled with brigaded reports from right wing trolls.

The biggest offender is, surprisingly, cloudflare. They will straight up refuse to serve you any site if your user agent is not one of the mainstream ones. It's not even "find the traffic light to prove you're human", but a page basically saying "fuck you, go away".

Graceful degradation is cool, but progressive enhancement is where it's really at. The difference is that instead of working around the lack of capabilities, you design simple and robust core system, and then improve around it based on available capabilities.

Please stop reposting this crap every fucking day. What's up with you and this exact article in particular anyway? Are you getting paid or something?

What a rookie. Could've taken six by parking sideways

Telegram has open source clients and protocol specifications. Whatsapp is a piece of proprietary bullshit that you can't even use without a phone and zuck will sue you for even trying to decomple it
