You joke. That’s not what I meant and if Apple did make an app it wouldn’t be Open Source.

But Apple does contribute to Open Source. They collaborated with KDE back when Microsoft was making fun of Linux

One amazing RSS app I recommend to all Apple users is NetNewsWire. It’s Open Source and works very well. If Apple ever built an RSS reader, it’d be like this. It uses iCloud to sync between devices.

Lets you use a reader mode where it fetches readable content from the URL instead of just reading from the xml file.

And is very simple. If you use something like Feedly, it also works very well as a client for such services. I started using it like that, later just started using iCloud instead of Feedly

I use iMessage to text my close friends. But I live in a country where WhatsApp is a verb.

So I do end up using WhatsApp and in my experience, it’s already riddled with

I don’t see how it can be any worse tbh. Instagram ads are way better imo.

I do. Especially compared to a company like Amazon. Google’s alternatives to Amazon’s are almost always better and has better UI/UX.

But Amazon knows the market and whatever bs they stitch together ends up being the more popular option.

What I have in mind are GCP vs AWS, Kindle vs. Play Books, etc

what do you mean? mini was released alongside all other iPhone 12s

Hmm. Not really tbh. As long as it doesn’t inject ads on to the web page (like Edge did to Download Chrome page) I’m fine.

Oh I want my web browser to do exactly one thing. Reasonably parse HTML, JS and CSS of the websites I visit

I don’t know if OP had this in mind. But a website and webapp are different. The whole UX ruleset we follow for both are different from the ground up (websites have big buttons, webapps have compact buttons)

If it should’ve been a website, there’s no need for a webapp or native app.

If it should’ve been a webapp, a native app makes sense too

Come to think of it, the Apple Ecosystem and Google Ecosystem are somewhat established super apps. But probably the major difference is that they have to play well with their competitors to an extent. iMessage within itself has a third party app ecosystem.

Colon Q Exclamation Mark!!

Thanks! This was very helpful!

To be fair, if you tried three different browsers on iPhone, it doesn’t really make a difference. To the website, they’re all Safari

Slightly misleading title. He failed at renaming Paypal to X last time. So this time he was technically successful in what failed last time.

But when it doesn’t tell you it definitely isn’t

Can you explain why? Are you using wefwef on Android?

I get it. I’ve seen both left and right do that tbh. But what does it have to do with Reddit?

Right buys MAGA hat and is a cult so reddit is going right wing?!

The over-politicization here is annoying tbh. I still use Reddit for two things. To check on a reality tv show’s subreddit and to check Cricket discussions. I hope they move somewhere else, but neither are let or right wing. It feels like you’re seeing something you don’t like and attribute qualities you don’t like on to it.

How is this comment any different from a right wing person saying:

He never wanted good communities, he wanted communities he could market to. Having the idiot left wing that buys Chinese hats that has Mao pictures is absolutely the audience he wants.

To me this sounds like us de-federating them early on to avoid them de-federating us. It’s an open framework enabling multi domain interoperability. As long as fediverse rules aren’t violated no one should get defederated imo

Again tbh, I don’t really think Meta needs Fediverse. They already have Facebook and Instagram. All they need is add one link and they’ll have way more users than the Fediverse has in a matter of hours

Why is this a bad thing? With all the email analogies, it’s a good thing to have bigger corporations involved
