Agreed. I’ve been following along with Firefox’s belated, but very welcome development on PWAs for FF on desktop.
I’m not technical at all, so I can’t comment on specifics, but as an end user, I LOVE using PWAs for email, calendar, Teams, etc, rather than the app. Unfortunately I still use Chrome for them but once FF gets it sorted I’ll aim to move away completely.
Thanks, yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Very cool idea, and looks pretty well put together.
Yeah, I saw that with the keyboard, that’s super slick. I’m not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, I’d definitely be tempted! Thanks for the info on stability 👍
That looks so unstable, with just that small back rest holding the whole thing up. I’m sure it’s better than it looks, but wow.
They could speed up image sharing by reverting to the old share within Photos functionality that was three taps faster than the new version, and by removing the utterly pointless “Image already in conversation” restriction.
That’s a shame, I like that it asks which kind of note you want. Most notes I make are in the form of checklists, and the choice of format when starting a new note felt much more convenient than opening a note and then having to turn it into a list afterwards.
Great. Now remove the restriction on sharing a photo with someone if it’s “already in this conversation”.
Yes, I may well have shared it before. Yes, I now want to share it again. Why is that a problem?

Four, I think. So a mooch can also be known as a quartruss.
You mean will it last longer than Liz Truss?
Remember when Google Photos was basically perfect? And then they started messing around with it? I 'member :-(
You can only swipe down to minimize a video if it’s the first video in a playlist (or not part of a playlist at all).
That seems really daft. Things like swipe gestures work on muscle memory - but if you have yo also consciously remember whether what you’re watching is in a playlist or not, it’s much less intuitive.
I like swipe down to minimise and use it a lot. This feels like it could be a real pain.
Yeah, there was that brief period, maybe 4-6 years where each release had at least something exciting. I guess they’ve just run out of genuinely useful/innovative stuff to add.
Likewise. I use Total, and I have 12 folders on my homescreen, each of which can be swiped up, down, left or right to open specific apps or run specific actions. So, 48 options without ever leaving the home screen :-)
I very rarely have to even open a folder, let alone the app drawer (in fact Total doesn’t really even seem to have a built in app drawer, although it exists somewhere in the background)
In a weird way, they probably are - I guess they figure that users who don’t see any/many ads are not contributing to Reddit’s finances, while still causing Reddit costs in terms of bandwidth, etc. In which case it makes sense to get rid of them (a bit like having an email database with 100000 people on it, but only 5000 of them ever open the emails - if you have to pay more to store those 95000 who don’t, then it makes some sense to rid of them.)
Problem is, how many of those who view on old or on 3PAs are the ones making/sharing the content that brings eyes to their ads in the first place - maybe they’ve analysed it and decided that the loss of goodwill and incoming content from those people is more than offset by the savings to be made in having a smaller but more captive audience?
They might be right - but I hope not, because they’ve acted like dicks.
I managed (entirely through text) to talk my 70 year old mother through transferring her Signal account from one phone to another. It really wasn’t that difficult.
