we never stopped doing that!

Fastmail seems good but there’s some comfort from tutanota/protonmail promising to store my emails e2e encrypted (though they obviously can read them on send/receive). Have you tried them? What was your opinion?

It’s not bizarre once you realize it raised some team’s engagement metrics (like # of emails sent) by 2%, a result they were unable to achieve otherwise, so they shipped it and celebrated a win

tbh all tabs seem like a deficiency in the window management paradigm to me. Instead of tabs our WMs should just allow us to easily list and transition between all windows of an app.

HaikuOS got this right. Tabs are a property of the OS side of the window, not the application side

Absolutely agree. Recently learning emacs with vertico/consult/orderless/embark has had me thinking constantly about how needlessly crippled most OS windowing system workflows are.

I can’t imagine working with a browser without tabs.

Consider that chrome is now adding a split pane too. So you have tabs, tab groups, vertical split.. surely soon they'll add horizontal split and you'll have a full tmux or a tiling window manager within chrome

Shouldn't that just be your OS? It should show a list of open windows, allow you to group them and switch between windows within a group, show side by side etc

But like, once you start using a better window manager (as exist on Linux for X11), maybe you would no longer be able to imagine working in a window that couldn't simultaneously mix tabs from different apps.

gaming apps account for approximately 70% of all App Store revenue.

Gambling apps. Extremely few of the "games" on App Store are traditional games. Most of them are lootbox puzzle slop because that's what Apple tolerates && most lucrative.

On the iPhone, where they go out of their way to prevent Steam or anyone else eating into that market.

On Mac it's probably closer to 0% of all revenue, and they seem incapable of competing for it.

Of course, I agree. Just saying I think they probably do have to care about the gaming market a whole lot, whether Jobs liked it or not

I'd prefer that over cookie/app/newsletter popovers

No individual company would be able to make a dent in the jobs market that way. Especially because they would be inflicting damage on themselves alone

The big companies all collude.

The fact that this made it to the news cycle is indicative enough of the airbnb owner smelling money once they found out a robotics company is involved, regardless of the extent of damage/wear

Knowing the cost of home ownership, it’s not unlikely to imagine the reported damages are well within what he’s asking. Given that repair work, filing paper with the courts, etc is a major PITA, if this guy was just looking for a payout you’d think he’d ask for a lot more.

Eh? This sort of corporate misbehaviour would obviously make the news; it’s both scummy and just bizarre. That makes for good news.

How does it make it to a reporter?

This kind of simping is surely indicative of something.
