I was excited about it when it first came out, but haven't heard anything about it since.

This kind of makes the Digg team look like a joke. Rebuilding was always going to be hard, but I think this kills any chance of building it up a third time since no one can take it seriously.

With time, I've been revoking the ability of more and more apps to deliver notifications. The vast majority of the notifications these days are just pointless ads anyway.

We use self-hosted GitLab at work. It’s really a pleasure to use, everything works the way it feels like it should. The main downside is the system resource requirements are absurd considering at any given time there’s only 1-2 people using the GitLab interface.

The prose style and the fact that it was super repetitive. Every bullet re-described the copy-pasting. Definitely LLM slop.

Chiming in just to say: yes

More productive isn't the opposite of complaining.

How is no syntax highlighting better, specifically?

I agree and don’t use any of that stuff—-except syntax highlighting. Why wouldn’t you? Color is a whole extra dimension it adds to the code that lets the eye notice errors more quickly and jump around faster.

Unpopular opinion apparently: I love it. I’ve been using it since beta 1 and it’s grown on me enormously. iOS 18 on my work iPhone felt incredibly dated and I was relieved when we could finally upgrade enterprise devices.

> Celebrities aren't in positions of public service, so the whole concept of a "bribe" doesn't apply.

To add to this, we should also be holding Presidents to a higher ethics standard than, say, Kim Kardashian.

If only we could all get on the same page about this as a society. The previous administration ran the single swampiest administration in American history. The current administration is dramatically less swampy, but still as swampy as a typical administration.

This is something that absolutely needs to be fixed in our society, and something that should unify 99% of people. But half of the country is under the delusion that the previous administration was somehow fixing this, simply because they said they were. This division makes it impossible to ever get anything done.
