Sigh. Flutter held such promise. A super successful example of flutter is GPay India and it held its promise to launch an app x-platform. Sadly, for delightful experiences, Flutter is now just becoming clutter.

@petridishes.bsky.social take a bow for this! 💪 https://nostrcheck.me/media/77935de5fb26a505e6288abb7735ac859c6b0f5b7f7903387c789a758aea0d92/6379d23a97cc422a6023f16c41ec2d716492844714a2901aa4c54b56c99589e9.webp
https://youtu.be/E9yZ0JusME4 feel like this is the goodbye message for arc, the browser. Company is saying they are focusing on a new product for a larger audience. One just needs to ask how much longer will the free product for a niche audience stick around? #arc

The ray tracing support gpu is a big surprise along with how Imagination is making a comeback after being the gpu provider of choice for Apple until they took it in house.

Every few years since the smartphone was introduced, a team gets a "brilliant idea" to redo a carousel and will eventually end up changing plans after low engagement. Curious how long this will last.
The meta for writing continues to be “Inter.” Fin.
I wish apple TV app on #iOS provided a button to toggle landscape viewing even with orientation lock on. Every other video viewing app provides this functionality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
WhatsApp on Android went from replicating iOS emoji (already a bad choice) to now having the ugliest (yes I understand it's subjective) emoji in all messaging apps.
Have been pushing my WhatsApp design buddies to fight the battle from inside too. #sigh
Genuine question. As someone who has multiple domains via Wordpress.com and hosted with Wordpress for years now, what are my options if I choose to shift away?
I will do my own research, but any tips and testimonials will go a long way to help guide my rx. Thanks in advance.

If Tensor doesn't keep up, and still maintains perf, going to be super curious if 3nm is all that it's chalked up to be.
I missed your point. I thought you were being too hard on yourself for ONLY DCA-ing instead of going for some other bet. :)
Looking back at my investing track record. I'm a below average investor.
I suck at timing.
I suck at position sizing.
I suck at handling emotions.
The only thing that's worked for me is making fewer decisions. My most profitable decisions have been boring and obvious ones that I stuck to for years.
Eg: DCA into the sp500 for a decade.
Staying humble and stacking sats(via DCA) feels like the right decision for me and other before average investors.

as someone who thinks you’re a good investor because of DCA, I personally think that you are following a risk profile that you are comfortable with. and if you think you will be comfortable changing the parameters on _any_ of the vectors you identified, what prevents you from making a bet even if it’s not with sats today?
There are some additional benefits:
- want to default to the threads following feed? There’s a link for that — https://threads.net/following
- don’t want autoplaying video / other such accessibility control, your user agent (browser) will allow additional tweaks.
the best web app so far is bsky.app. What would make it even better would be the addition of haptics support for things like like, post etc. This will only improve android experience as ios still prevents web haptics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mastodon and Threads have decent web apps. However, threads doesn’t allow disabling media/gif autoplay and mastodon design could do with some love.
I continue to recommend the web app for all the text (and image and video) based networks if you have an iPhone / any modern android device. It’s a LOT less tracking and you can enable ad blockers on top of that if you want to. Finally, it will also make the whole process a lot more intentional.

> Apple can’t afford to screw this up. Apple has the power to introduce AI and machine learning to millions of people who might otherwise never engage with these technologies... It could turn a whole generation of users off from AI. Imagine your tech-averse aunt trying to use a half-baked AI assistant and concluding that all AI is useless. That’s the kind of public relations nightmare that could set back public acceptance of AI by years.
#android devs qq for you: why do video apps on Android not center the video in the letter box?
Repeat offenders: prime video and max and sometimes Disney+
YouTube is the only one that centers the video vertically and horizontally properly. Netflix has a phase but then seems to correct itself.
