Seriously, enshitification is the only thing US companies do well these days. They just dig deeper moats around their walled gardens because they’re too greedy to make decent products that people actually want.

Can’t happen soon enough. Few people want AI and now it will fuck over a bunch of people very directly. No idea how long the investors can keep inflating this bubble now.

Account is new and vaguely crypto related. I‘d say yes.

Definitely not great behavior but considering Safari makes up a bunch of their users, they should have really added the playsinline attribute to the video to prevent this. But since this site is made using a pretty crappy site builder, they probably cannot change this until Elementor fixes this bug.

Wtf it just opened a video in full screen on iOS right away. When I closed it and wanted to scroll down I was suddenly dragging an icon. When tapping this icon it opens some „my personas“ dialog which I don’t even understand what it is supposed to be? What even is this shit ass site?

Edit: page title is „Home V2“ lol

Edit 2: Of course this site is made using Elementor, hence the bad performance and buggy layout.

For an app that made you 300$ / month to begin with

Seriously, name a billionaire who seems like he doesn’t have a potentially undiagnosed mental illness. It’s hard to think of one.

You forgot about the amazing public transport. Fast long distance trains, tiny local trains, towns with random monorails. It’s amazing.

That’s exactly what I do but that doesn’t magically shield me from the bad software running on these machines. The OS is still unstable, tries to apply a bunch of filters that need to be disabled, has extreme lag unless gaming mode is being used and has stupid UI decisions like putting the audio level exactly where the subtitles usually are so that changing audio will obfuscate them. Once every 24h I‘m also getting a warning that the tv is not connected to the internet, despite network connectivity being explicitly disabled.

I mean, they could just let their awesome Copilot vibe code it, couldn’t they?

This is one of the best proofs that the AI industry is full of bullshit. If we can let the AI code everything now, where are our leaps in traditional, existing software?

Not sure if it changed in the last year or so since I bought my tv but isn’t the issue that there are essentially no dumb tvs? The closest I could find were big monitors intended to be commercial public displays but they came with their own set of issues. In the end I bought a smart tv and I it’s quite bad.

Meta is also planning to drop its native WhatsApp Windows app in favor of a web wrapper version soon, in what looks like a move to simplify WhatsApp development.

So they are just going back to what they had before, probably to save money.

But don’t they have AI now which makes development so much faster, easier and cheaper? It’s these things where you can see these companies are full of bullshit.

The reason people use Electron in the first place is that they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

While Flutter can technically do that, the web apps it outputs are atrocious with poor usability and accessibility. It’s drawing the whole UI on a canvas element which causes all kinds of issues.

For anyone considering Electron: take a look at Tauri. It’s another way to build cross-platform apps with web tech. It will use the OS‘s web rendering engine instead of shipping Chromium which results in much smaller binaries and faster startup times and less RAM usage. You can also write native code in Rust. It’s like Electron but good.
