the metaverse push is the perfect analogy

cool fun concepts/technology fucked by the worlds most boring people who only have desire to dominate markets and attention.. god forbid anything happen slowly/gradually without it being about them

Fucked? Have you tried the latest Quest3 experience? It would be nowhere near this if it was not for Meta and other big corps.

Second, did you see the amount of fun content on the store? It's insane. People who are commenting on the Quest have obviously never even opened the app store there.

You really can't compare "AI" to a single website, it makes no sense

It was an example. Pets.com was just the flagship (at least in my mind), but during the dot com bubble there were many many more such sites that had an inflated market value. I mean, if it was just one site that crashed then it wouldn't be called a bubble.

The comments on most of the stories are the same old diatribes as well

most of them are fairly useles it feels like the majority of the sites comments are written by PMs at the FANG companies running everything though the flavor of the month llm

lmao, "underplay ai" that's all this site has been about for the last few years

looks like the backend is ggml, am I missing something? same diff

Eh, if you control the browser or provide a good plugin you can just have users scrape for you

most users enjoy interacting with helpful advertisements if you want to call them that

Or just OneDrive with office365 $7 a month for 1TB with all the other stuff

or iCloud or Google Drive which are even cheaper IIRC with more plans. But people commenting here for this post, probably care about services that support Linux.

The entire apple ecosystem is a sham

A while ago the 30% upcharge for iOS users was against the rules, now it's allowed.

It sounds nice but if you're a Spotify or Netflix it lets Apple undercut you very easily

I do think 30% is a bit much these days when the store first opened it was a great deal vs the other options at the time

And you're not allowed to even point users to your website where they could sign up without the 30% tax due to Apple not allowing that.

These anti-competitive practices are just over the top in my opinion, I really wish businesses like this would be broken up.

Currently building a B2B SaaS and going the PWA way.

My understanding is the rules for B2B are different, hence why Basecamp is allowed.

They did say so, but I haven't seen it documented anywhere on Apple.com

What are the downsides of going PWA? Non-native support? Offline usage?

No notifications on ios.

No Bluetooth hardware either

WebBluetooth exists on android, but not on iOS.
