This is coming from people who are usually very careful and precise with their words, saying things like “he’s a fraud” or “he has no taste.”

Of course Dye was ultimately responsible given his role, but putting all the blame on him and using very strong words is going way too far.

But it was flaky and sometimes slow.

Today’s Cloudflare outage reminded what a good decision it was to not go through with this plan.

The one missing thing is Discord support. I wanna play games and talk to my friends at the same time, which is more complicated on SteamOS

Xbox is also changing! They're trying to merge Windows and Xbox so essentially, Xbox is just a different form factor for Windows 🙃

The coolest thing with SteamOS though is it runs Windows games either as well, or sometimes even better. And it's just more elegant.

I open Slack these days and all the new “features” are changes for the change’s sake.

Compliance/maintenance aside, they could probably keep the current version of Slack forever, and it’d be fine.

Think of the homescreen and grid of icons. Sure, we got some pretty nice widgets now, but everything is still based around the grid.

The context of how people use phones these days is much different. Apps and workflows are fluid. And yet we’re still using the same paradigm as 2007, just prettier.

Interestingly, Apple TV+ basically doesn't cancel shows.

Invasion has been somewhat decent once or twice, but the rest of the time, it has been a horrible mess.

On any other network, it would've been canceled after season 1.

They spend seasons building up certain storylines, only to avoid delivering the payoff.

Then, they keep creating new characters no one cares about, and then ruin existing characters that were somewhat interesting by making them do ridiculous things.
