"We've done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out, it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demos. But after a short period of time, you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It's ergonomically terrible." —Jobs

Re:Show HN: Sumi.css – CSS Framework on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @02:15PM (#50185228)
This site seems very slopped together.

Several of their new components are just classes, defeating the original purpose and contradicting the vision of Pico.

Why are the first one or two letters in headings wrapped in <em>, like the _Bl_ in "Blades"?

Why are they calling their Pico fork "anyblades/pico", when the original Pico author's post says "The Pico CSS name and logo are not covered by the MIT license. Please give your fork its own name, so users don’t confuse it with the original."?

The worst offender: What is going on with this nonsense: https://blades.dev/css/frameworks/

Happy to see this, now that my beloved PicoCSS has been deprecated. Sumi looks really nice!

I wish there was a DIY company targeting hobbiests that sold large poster-size eInk panels with tinkering in mind, like TRMNL or InkPlate.

This sounds like an iOS problem. Bitwarden + Firefox on Linux, or Bitwarden + Android, has never been anything but smooth for me when it comes to saving or using Passkeys.

Through the incredible power of Siri AI™, you can now get a "I didn't understand that. Do you want to search the web for 'turn on the kitchen lights'?" response faster than ever before.

Excellent. Love that the Github link in the footer goes to a private (or non-existent) repo.

Very exciting!

Looks like this was solved five days ago:

Is TomTom's basemap entirely OpenStreetMap? Or do they add their own proprietary layer of map data on top?

I just finished book 7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, as well as Enshittification, myself! Funny.

I'm now working my way through "I Am Not A Robot: My Year Using AI To Do (Almost) Everything" by Joanna Stern.

Re:When did Google get so f-ing weird? on Sunday September 27, 2026 @09:55PM (#49872662)
I mean, I'm in my mid-30s, and "keywording" and "how to use search engines" was taught in my US Midwest public school library/media center.
I remember this as well. I hadn't noticed it was gone until just now, but you're right.

Edit: Found it. Thanks Claude.
