Microsoft Teams? No they didn't drop Electron for RN/RNW. They dropped Electron for Microsoft Edge WebView2. I might be missing some sarcasm though

I just did a double take on GNOME 40. They really did just go from 3.38 to 40! I'm confused about what'll happen when GTK 4.0 comes around.

It's a bug with Microsoft Edge's integration with Windows Explorer: https://github.com/microsoft/WinDev/issues/40
Just as an FYI: Apparently the Gimpshop website isn't owned by the developer and hasn't been for years. It's apparently riddled with adware and malware and isn't developed anymore.

Flux is still so much nicer than Windows 10's Night Light feature. Flux is gradual and has a transition over a few hours while Night Light has a transition over a few seconds.

I love that Invidious doesn't have an algorithm that changes your recommendations based on what you've watched. It's so freeing.

the scrolling is also pretty bad on Windows. Chromium based browsers also have gestures which I use often.

I don't mind the narrower results but the address bar becoming larger when its focused is pretty weird.

Yeah that's right. They're rolling it out. Funnily enough, they made Firefox Preview Firefox Nightly. The whole thing is really messy.

It's just on Android.

Discord has been really good with their changelogs but their changelogs in app stores are not as good as the ones in the beta channels. I liked their transparency when they introduced tabs in their Android app.

Every Spotify update I wonder what they mess up next. 'Is it sorting or filtering this time?".
And it didn’t help that the Windows Store back then was a store for UWP/Metro apps.

It also took a long time for Microsoft to actually tackle the issues that UWP/Metro and WinUI/XAML faced. It took so long, it doesn’t even matter anymore and even Microsoft has moved on. But there’s quite a bit of hypocrisy, with Microsoft telling others to use WinUI while not using it everywhere themselves while refusing to update the styles of other design frameworks.

>"real" 3D touch?

anyone else remember tactus technology?

As one of those younger users, I still have an account on all of those and still use many. Instagram is from Facebook, Tumblr is from Yahoo which is owned by Verizon. A lot of funny content is taken from TikTok, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and more and reposted over and over through those platforms.

This is directly in response to "As we've seen with myspace, digg, etc., and as we're seeing with tumblr and also facebook now, younger, more tech-savy users have no issues with changing platforms.. from facebook to tumblr to snapchat to instagram to SomethingNew(TM)."

The Nexii were so cool

I'm very disappointed in this new Google.

It can run Android and Linux apps.

It's a shame we can't customise it as much as Android, despite it seemingly replacing Android on tablets.

FYI Open Shell exists.
And they recently ruined the design of it on both the app and the website :(
