But iMessage
It's not even a standard (in the sense that many people use it.)
It's mostly a US-only-fad, thus very limited. In the actual world hardly anyone is present or can be reached on this old, proprietary system, so hardly anyone uses it.
Of course not.
It's a fairy-tale fake improvement; it does not actually, really improve anything.
But it does mean languages would neat to be rewritten, or barring that, coders now have to live with the insanity of two fundamentally approaches. For nothing. That xkcd comic about standards, anyone?
Nobody really cares about Go. Typescript and Pythons are children's languages. But I am somewhat disappointed about Rust.
At least, sudo. Su still has uses, but sudo is outright harmful. That is, on multi-user machines, what is was meant for. On single user systems, where its seems nowadays seems all but inevitable, it does not even have a proper function.
"Unintended".
"Arc wants to be the web's operating system. So it built a bunch of tools that make it easier to control apps and content, turned tabs and bookmarks into something more like an app launcher, and built a few platform-wide apps of its own."
Dear lord, that sounds like Microsoft. Or Google. Awful. Let it never happen.
"Right now, Arc is only available for the Mac"
Now I'm certain it's a bad joke.
It's also commercial. It should die a horrible death. An application like a browser should
Not commercial
Decentralised
Ease-of-use of centralised system
Not implementing censorship (hypocritically called "moderation" these days), neither by the operator of the system nor by the government
Only the user can delete their own messages, or whole existence
One-click "block" option
Up-and-down votes, as well as mood emoticons
One click "report to authorities" option (as the authorities, properly informed about actually possibly outlawed speech, must be the only one acting and deciding on legal issues)
are those even?
Both "Hangouts" and "iMessage" are completely alien. Are they some proprietary chat applications that no-one uses?
This MS program manager Kayla Cinnamon advertises herself a.o. as having background in user experience design.
New version defaults to NOT following the system theme, but defaulting to dark theme.
What a massive UX gaffe that is. People on the dark UI fad/bandwagon/hype/hysteria truly seem to lose all sense of reality. It really is like a cult.
Finland did not solve the problem.
The problem can not be solved.
Finland hid [sic] the problem, forwarding the fallout [sic] to generations hopefully so far in the future that nobody living now would care.
No sane person uses SuckSuckNo any how.
"... the country's restrictive laws that regulate online activity
Aha. Like the US, and most other nations, western included. But for western nations it would never be described as that.
Userfriendly.org once had some beautiful comics about this type of behaviour.
I remember one where the "Death" guy came to one of the engineers about not having paid for software. The engineer retorted with "But I already paid!", upon which the Death guy ominously reacted with "Yes, but only once..."
That was during the start of the subscription model hell.
Because reasons
Ah the horrenduus disaster editor that was originally designed for teletype writer terminals and fundamentally operates as if that is the platform. The editor that no-one in their right mind knows how to quit after mistakenly opening it. The editor so hideously unusable that you'd rather use ed or se. The editor only used by "professionals" so old their beards have actually fallen off, or alternatively by unprofessional young beginners trying to seem hip and deep by using an unusable editor.
