BTW, this isn’t about the Safari or the Edge teams themselves nor a statement about the quality of those browsers. Imagine working very hard to make a thing and then having no real idea if it’s as good as you think because the OS it’s shipping on gives it unfair advantages. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, this is a NEW browser shenanigan. The BIG browser shenanigan was and remains that Apple disallows competing browser engines on iOS and iPadOS. A huge moving of the goalposts that made room for Microsoft to do this kind of thing. — PolitiTweet.org

I suspect Microsoft will get away with it because it’s a wonky, small thing. Bad law idea: big tech companies have to fund one extra anti-trust lawyer at the DOJ for every PR person they hire. Four for every lobbyist. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

I’d say Microsoft should be ashamed but when it comes to preferencing its own browser in Windows, history has shown us that Microsoft has no shame. Embarrassing that it has so little faith in Edge (which is good) that it’s resorting to shenanigans. https://t.co/EXuzNqS49r — PolitiTweet.org

Hey Siri, show me a blistering critique of the failures of fives years of MacBook Keyboard Design in a single image. Siri: here’s a photo of @thedextriarchy’s desk. https://t.co/lSpGkUydWk https://t.co/ZP7puuSDiu — PolitiTweet.org

Have any magazines published a series of special editions dedicated to how it’s really hard to move a lot of toilet paper by rail these days? I’m looking for … Two-Ply Train Issues. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sorry but this is like the very first part of the transition between a RAV4 and an Outback on an Animorphs cover. Whoever designed this doesn’t understand what …makes a Subaru a Subaru. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Chip shortage is very real Reminds me of the original Palm Pilot, which had a massive, unforeseen problem caused by a …new sticker near the batteries. New hardware is not easy and WEIRD things happen. Patience and faith for small companies that have earned them - Panic has. — PolitiTweet.org

The caption describing what's wrong with the street design of an NYC intersection tells you everything you need to know about how systemically cars have de-humanized our cities. We can fix it!

Expect to see video creators increasingly trying to find non-YouTube ways to provide content to their biggest fans. Nebula and now Patreon. No idea if it’ll work, but the feeling (justified or not) that the YouTube algo doesn’t show videos to subscribers is widespread — PolitiTweet.org

“How will you get mainstream” is indeed the right question to ask. Money historically often meant validation of an idea. This hype cycle, I don’t think it does. (apologies for taking a joke and turning it into a sincere thread it won’t happen again) — PolitiTweet.org
