Copy-pasting AI output is uninteresting and rude.

How do you think that this wouldn't "work in the current timeline"? This sounds like a deep misunderstanding of media.

How is the title misleading?

Everything involving geography is a regional feature because it takes time to create things for physical stuff across the physical world; its not just some arbitrary limitation like streaming media.

> no 1st party Apple made hiking and topography map on the Apple Watch

I regularly use hiking and topography maps on my Apple Watch with the first party maps app, so it sure what you’re talking about

Some of these are questionable, but 3 and 5 stick out. Being included makes it sound like whoever wrote this list doesn’t really know what Zed is?

It’s a local text editor. The only thing an account gives you is access to their specific flavour of coding agent and a collaboration server.

> If your payment lapses, they reserve the right to delete your account and all associated data with no liability.

Pretty much the only associated data is your payment info.

> Your statement uses the presence of bugs to indicate a product is worth using.

This is not correct; "If a product is worth using, then it has bugs." (P→Q) does not imply its converse "If a product has bugs, then it is worth using." (Q→P). Buginess is presented as a necessary condition of being worth using, not a sufficient one.

It does, however, imply "If a product has no bugs, then it is not worth using.".

The enshittification knows no bounds.

What else is a shame is claiming that some single language feature supports a foregone conclusion that the writing's been 'molested'. It's hard to imagine what a constructive comment this could've been with the minimum of effort to know that the author has written this way consistently since at least 2021, before the first public release of ChatGPT.

I think this’d be a good comment if it weren’t for the superiority complex :/

I’m fairly confident that the Venn diagram of (a) nine-year-olds that are playing with a computer and (b) people who claim that access to kernel source code is a prerequisite to “learning about computers” is two circles that are barely touching.

Yes, generally. That's the entire idea behind the stock market.

It is trivially easy to know that this isn’t true.

The API surface becomes the lowest common denominator of all the platforms it supports, possibly with a path to support platform-native features, but probably in a way that’s necessarily not as good as native.

I think we already have plenty of avenue in ‘solutions’ like Electron to let people build bad apps.

It’s a good thing that’s exactly what this is, then.
