I feel the opposite. Cross-platform toolkits such as Qt are "good enough" but not great. I wish more apps would be written using the native toolkit of the platform.

Programmers are usually very vocal leftists. I've always assumed that those who don't speak openly about politics don't care or are right wingers, but who knows.

That's a funny one. I worked at a place where the support team that worked for the social network accounts of the company had better tools and higher priority when doing their jobs than the phone/site support team, so effectively customers asking for support on Twitter or Facebook got better and faster support than customers asking for support on the phone or the site. I assume that's because companies are terrified of bad publicity on social networks.

They recently created (maybe not completely rolled out yet?) bookmarks, which work the way favourites did back in the day (but they are private).

The original TweetDeck was an Adobe AIR application. Twitter bought it, and then rewrote it as a website. So it could be argued that they built it.

There were alternatives before such as Seesmic, no idea how they work now, if they still do.

What you said is ok, and it's fine if that's the default. What people complain about is that you can't opt-out of the algorithmic timeline.

TikTok is a Chinese application so I wonder if there are other interests at play.

Depends on how expensive the settlement will be. :)

It does something, it makes your mobile say 5G on the top. That's worth paying more money for some people.
