What a major victory for birds all across the globe. A feather is not ours to steal and parade around as if it’s our own culture. Maybe the ASF could replace this with a lock of human hair instead.
Out of all the monthly subscriptions I have, YouTube Premium is by far my favourite. I don’t see an issue with paying for something I use so much everyday.
Let’s be real, at this point YouTube is too big to fail. Without Google’s capital it would be impossible to do this at scale. Also I would much rather support Google and independent creators rather than Netflix and the entertainment industry.
I think the developers at T-Mobile are equally pissed off about this. But with Firefox market share sitting at 3.5% in the US, it no longer makes business sense to spend the extra money required to make their site work in what is now a niche browser.
Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people from very different cultures and social classes.
I agree that it isn't beneficial to label a very livable condition with the same word that we use for much harsher illnesses, and it doesn't help that it's not a visible condition. But as somebody with ADHD, it really hurts me to keep seeing this argument repeated ad nausea.
Maybe the issue isn't that it is being overdiagnosed, but rather the fact that the only treatment we consider worthwhile is prescribing amphetamines to children.
I recently bought a "t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini" which is an inexpensive hardware DSP box capable of the same. I just have it sitting between my soundcard and some active speakers.
Gives me peace of mind knowing my EQ curve always is on even if I'm using software that's outputting direct to my interface.
Lol. Where else are you going to go? YouTube is a de facto monopoly when it comes to self-published shortform videos.
The consequences of the "everything-is-free" Web 2.0 internet has created some very arrogant consumers that won't even pay $10/mo. to support content creators.
Of course I would prefer a native app, but I don't think it is unreasonable of me to expect a web app to:
- Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard behavior
- Respond immediately to user input
- Not take up hundreds of megabytes of RAM
I have yet to use a React app that doesn't immediately "feel" like it's using React. There's some weird added latency that I can't really describe, but I don't feel it on Angular apps.
I've yet to hear the fans in mine, 9 months in. I can actually use it on my lap without scalding my legs. Battery life is so good that I rarely bring my charger along with me anymore.
My old Intel MBP would have a drained battery after 90 minutes doing the same CPU intensive stuff I'm doing for >5 hours on my 16" M1 Max.
The hardware is absolutely bonkers. It's unlike anything else. I wish I could say the same for the current state of Mac OS.
There's no question that it's still highly in demand, but as a user I despise React apps. Not that there's anything wrong with the technology - well-written React with minimal dependencies can provide a great and responsive UX.
In practise this rarely is the case. I have yet to use a React app that consistently respects Cmd+click as my intent to open something in a new tab, has sub-100ms draw times for any UI action, and doesn't need to load multiple megabytes of JS to bog down my CPU for basic CRUD stuff.
I would argue that any HTML + CSS framework stack is inherently flawed once you move beyond the most basic of UI components.
I have yet to work on a React + Tailwind codebase in the wild where the margin/padding metrics aren't hardcoded and repeated across tens of different components. We've traded the elegance of well-written SCSS for improved developer ergonomics and faster build times because webpack is so slow at compiling stylesheet changes.
If you want to practise proper DRY for spacing, typography, etc. in a React app, you'll just end up nesting tons of components that ultimately result in needless complexity.
