Your problem is fixed by not using this or any other app in the first place. Just because you’re annoyed doesn’t mean everyone is nor should it prevent apps from existing.

S76 isn’t going to have every option available to appease everyone’s unique asks; a separate app for other folks can pick up the slack. Otherwise Cosmic will turn into KDE with so many options that it becomes difficult to find or use.

I've been slowly pivoting toward Perplexity.AI as the search engine. It basically does what I do, search + find the resources and summarize it but it is automatic with Perplexity.AI.

I rather pay them 20$ because that is saving me time a lot (and time is money in my case). Kagi's search is okay but I can get nearly the same by using ublocklist on Bing or DDG for my use case.

Hopefully, that will not be the case as there is a anti-trust lawsuit possibly coming from DoJ and congress may pass a similar law like DMA. However, the chances are low anything will happen due the upcoming US elections. 😔

Many people follow specific channels and only look at content from them, not random bullshit teenager videos that show up in the random/new/trending pages. If you only look at these contents, then yes, you're going to get those bullshit annoying videos.

It's the same with Reddit, Lemmy, and others, people follow the specific channels they want and avoid the trending/random/new stuff.

For an example, I follow Digital Foundry channel for their detailed analysis/reviews, The SciShow, Sorted Foods, and so on. I click my subscriptions on youtube and it only shows these high quality content for me. Our family spend hours on these contents. They're not available anywhere else.

Don’t know how to feel about this one.

I would prefer Remedy expand their own IP and encourage people into thinking about Alex Casey instead.

They don’t own Max Payne, Rockstar does. They should buy it back instead of reworking this.

Especially since they can use any keyboard, like a mechanical keyboard that will feel much better than the laptops.

Given that an iPad is still a full-screen app OS, it may be easier for them to focus mainly on writing by using a dedicated writing app.

However, like many has said, involve your wife, let them pick.

Pop is semi-rolling distro, they don't need to release "point updates", they're not behind Ubuntu at all.

It is not the same 22.04 build from two years ago. It's using the same Ubuntu 22.04 LTS baseline and updates whatever they can with their own repos overwriting Ubuntu, such as mesa, kernel, and drivers. Every updates released to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS repos is made available to Pop users as well.

I just got an update on Pop for kernel 6.4.6 yesterday. Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS is the most recent update and it only uses 5.19 kernel.

It is not entirely data farming, a lot of this is due to use of heavy assets like fonts, frameworks, images, videos, etc. A lot of that is downloaded as part of loading the site initially and then the browser has to render/compute the site's use of JavaScript, CSS, etc.

Fonts and some JS assets are cached by the browsers and CDN to try to minimize redownloading it but it doesn't change the fact that average websites today are much heavier than it was back in 90s.

See how fast this site loads: https://text.npr.org/

Or https://tildes.net/ compared to Reddit.

When tapping on an image to view it full screen, the app’s sidebar for some odd reason does a full screen mode and then animate back into regular mode when dismissing the video.

Let me know if you wish me to upload a video.

FYI: This happened when I turned of the button labels.

I also recommend including the steps on how to actually pay for IAP issue as well in case someone did it first via TestFlight and thought it was already paid.

I couldn’t figure out how to fix this until I saw one of the posts that we need to remove the app entirely and not overwrite the app.

You may want to extend the sale if possible for the lifetime discount.

 

I don’t see a use case for having communities on the sidebar all the time. It should be hidable sidebar if possible.

I would like to suggest that the interface change to a two-column interface where the first column shows all posts and the second column shows the comments. In other words, tapping on the post opens it up in the column next to it.

(Hideable) Communities | Posts | Comments

I also recommend the bottom toolbar is moved to the sidebar as well; with the username/profile on top and settings on the bottom.

 

On the iPhone, the bottom toolbar has the middle three buttons smashed together with the profile button not working.
