The decline in the quality of Apple products is absolutely astonishing.

Who thought these were good default time filters in Gmail?

GMail's default time filters with the following options:
"Any time"
"Older than a week"
"Older than a month"
etc.

I don't think anyone could come up with a better photo of a stereotypical American and Australian guy than the one from the Fritz-Thompson match today at Wimbledon.

I have literally no idea what does the "Undo Typing" popup means on my iPhone and I couldn't even figure out what triggers it.

Every meteorologist should be fired if they say 0% chance of rain and it still rains. Your job is to show probabilities. It’s okay to be wrong, but saying 0% and getting rain is a total failure. Same goes for 100% and nothing happens.

Can someone please inform the brilliant minds in the Trump administration that the Mercator projection isn’t exactly to scale, so if they take over Greenland, they’re not getting an Africa-sized prize?

As a dad with a small child, the single biggest diet hack is convincing myself that eating my kid’s leftover food during cleanup is no better in any way than just throwing it away.

I love Actorle's incredibly enthusiastic userbase! Today, I debated with someone whether Brad Pitt actually appeared as an extra in No Way Out. Still not convinced, what do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUnk...

Years of experience as a software developer, yet every time I download something on my iPhone, I enter a philosophical crisis. Did it save? Where did it go? Is it in Files now?

There are two kinds of people: those who can gracefully pace around the house while brushing their teeth…and then there’s me, hunched over the sink like a drooling dog.

I've been getting a lot of questions about how I turned Actorle from a weekend project into a $4,000/month passive income stream. This link has the full story: www.reddit.com/r/SideProjec... If you’d like an even more detailed, updated version, let me know, I’m happy to write it!

Everyone's familiar with a "JD Vance" type, the one in a meeting with the boss who’s entirely preoccupied with boosting their own standing. Every ounce of their mental energy is spent asking, “Is this my moment? Should I jump in now?” with zero concern for who or what might be harmed in the process.

Anyone seen those sloppy AI-generated photos in social media with the guy crying next to his sculpture saying something like 'spent years on this but no one cared'? Kinda how I feel about metime.games/game/doodle/ lol. Think it's my best daily game but hasn't gotten nearly the love Actorle has.

As LLM coding tools grow more powerful, programmer taste matters more than ever. They generate tons of code, but without direction, it often turns into an unmaintainable mess. Lacking self-correction, these tools can quickly send projects into a death spiral.

Facebook’s private message encryption is such a useless feature. 1. It has made desktop messaging almost unusable due to slowness, missing messages, and failed attempts to send. 2. I still don’t believe that Suckerberg isn’t reading my messages.

These LLM customer support shills don’t even pretend anymore that they actually solve the user’s problem. I can deflect 75% of my support requests simply by ignoring three out of four emails.

Tech leaders: "Remote work is unsustainable—it hinders collaboration and weakens relationships." Tech leaders (later): "We've replaced your team with AI agents and couldn't be more thrilled about this exciting new chapter for our company."

Like this idiotic "show me what you did in 5 bullet points" email. It is blatantly unlawful but what is the expectation anyway? "-I did nothing last week. -Fired."???

It still amazes me that a tool as nice as ExcaliDraw is available for free and without registration. No fuss, just an easy way to take visual notes when needed.

As promising as they sound, LLMs are actually terrible for customer support. They can talk convincingly but can't take any action. If you imagine them as a person, they wouldn't be the best customer service rep, you would be dealing with the worst.

If you've worked for a large organization, you've likely met someone like Musk with his ridiculous DOGE program—barely understanding 1% of the system but convinced it's stupid. They mess things up, fail, and quit, leaving the system worse than before.

Tech interviews need a major overhaul in the GenAI era. They should reflect real-world work: more focus on code reading and quick understanding over code writing, and long-term maintainability over algorithm trivia.

Dear Docker Desktop team, Do you have any plans to fix this incredibly frustrating bug in your app? When you select a container and then close its group, there’s no visible indication that the container remains selected. As a result, your next action can accidentally delete it. #docker

The most underrated aspect of AI models: Are they fast enough to keep your patience, or will you check social media while waiting and lose your entire flow?

It's so frustrating that when I have only 1-2 hours, I can get almost as much done as when I have a full day. I need to find a way to break my day into artificial time constraints. Any good suggestions?

I have no idea why it happens, but I just love that ad revenue started to go up in early February this year, just like last year. It's still hard to comprehend that actorle.com and its spinoffs have been my main source of income for almost three years now.

I don't know how, but I feel that Cursor (powered by the good old Claude-3.5-Sonnet) has taken a big step forward. I'm working on a new country-guessing game for whichcountrytomoveto.com, and I managed to create a working version with a pretty nice design in just a few hours:

One of my favourite features of GMail was the quick horizontal swipe to switch between accounts. They managed to mess this up too with their lazy AI slop.

With the current state of AI tooling, software is becoming like fast fashion: cheap to produce, expensive to maintain, and increasingly disposable. The age of throwaway code is here.

The lack of genuine innovation in OpenAI’s latest releases is evident in the amount of artificial hype and excessive wordiness surrounding them. True innovations do not require this type of marketing; for example, consider the original ChatGPT release or DeepSeek.
