I guess because Twitter used to be the place where all the tech people were hanging out and so there was an incentive to make it work properly while now is a bit of a cesspool in free fall and people have moved on to other platforms?
I don’t get the impression that many people have moved on, though I could be wrong as my usage of Twitter has decreased “post-X” - but more because the site is so frequently broken! No need for rendering workarounds in browsers if the site breaks itself lol.
Recent? Unless you mean the notification, sending yourself a message has been possible for a long time. Just to make sure I know what I'm talking about I checked the conversation history with myself and the earliest messages are from 2016.
And yet I still can not get any of the more "advanced" features (like predictive text) for my native language keyboard.
It's been, what, at least five years(?) since predictive text was launched. I never expected to be the first to be supported, but starting to feel a bit ridiculous when some languages with a few tens of percents more speakers have had support from nearly the start.
Meanwhile third party keyboards have had support for ages. I'd rather use the stock keyboard, but can't bear it in its current state.
It is not, and doesn't even try to be, a Reddit replacement, but https://tildes.net has impressed me with its quality of discussion. More akin to HN, but with a subreddit-like system to facilitate a wider range of topics than is usually found here.
As a metal music listener with fond memories of Guitar Hero, I’ve enjoyed Ragnarock a ton.
You play as the drummer on a viking boat, hitting the notes (similar to GH) to the tune of power metal. Nice workout, especially if you really get into it and start exaggerating your movements.
Not sure what your source for ”doesn’t support 3rd party software” is, so it’s unclear what that actually means, but there are numerous examples on Andreas’ YouTube channel about porting software to Serenity, e.g. Diablo [1].
Maybe the text you read refers to the OS itself and all first party software being written without external dependencies?
I scanned the last couple months of their blog posts and could not find anything to support that claim. The docs or pricing page don’t seem to indicate anything like that either.
The only related thing I found was that free accounts are limited to one user that can trigger deploys in private repos, while anyone can trigger deploys in public repos (assuming I understood the announcement correctly).
I would say that terminal explorer is what I had in mind initially (and incidentally, I also speak Finnish, heh). But a misspelling of tree is certainly a valid interpretation as well :)
I think that is meant to be parsed as: Just like you can't check if the fridge light is on without opening the door (which of course turns it on), it's hard to know if a system is resilient to failure without having one. It just might be that there hasn't been a situation that would cause a failure.
Some Minecraft mods add items that force the game to keep certain chunks loaded. From the casual "Can't you just" I assume the parent meant those. It is however also possible, but much more complicated, to force the game to keep chunks loaded in Vanilla Minecraft. [0]
