@robertdoneill @dhh @satyanadella Robert, I just tried Visigrid and feels very good, congrats! And open-source, which is essential for any Office potential replacement. I'm also building in Rust and I've been doing experiments with GPUI myself. Native apps will make a comeback

@naval And despite all that, the politicians have managed to almost destroy it through poor governance, economic mismanagement, corruption, and public-safety problems. It’s a good reminder that we, the ordinary people, need to be more involved in politics and hold them accountable.

@atlanticesque The magic of London is not that skyline, but the thousands of beautiful, classical-style buildings almost anywhere you go. That is a the real treasure to forget about the modern buildings.

Also, after all the criticism I saw in X about Lupita as Helen and Elliot as Sinon, I'm really happy that it had no impact in the end result. Nolan played very well to satisfy the woke Hollywood requirements while being true to his storytelling

The Odyssey is a wonderful, epic movie, that fully transports yourself into another world for almost 3 hours. Nolan is extraordinary at creating these illusions and the cast does a fantastic job. In a world full of streaming slop, we are lucky to have directors focused on art.

@thsottiaux Feedback: I noticed tokens are draining way too fast. I just checked settings and it has changed spped automatically from normal to fast. I never changed it, it must have been the last update that changed it automatically.

@MishaalRahman I’d say mobile OSs are "rediscovering" the taskbar concept from desktop systems. What’s old is new again, just reimagined for touch and small screens. Still, it’s a smart move. They could take it even further by turning the bottom app dock into a real taskbar

@sama Bad experience for standard usage (scarcity feeling), but you could include some sort of credits/usage for API calls as part of the subscription. Paying for both the plus subscription and API separately is not ideal

@BronGondwana @theo Hi @BronGondwana , I’m also working on a jmap-like file storage design api. I’d love to connect to share ideas. If you’re open to it, please follow me so I can send you a DM to start the conversation

[Jay Rivercourt @jayrivercourt]

@diekus Very interested! is there anything I can do to help (testing, feedback, etc.)?

@davepl1968 @marklucovsky Hi @davepl1968 Please could you elaborate more? I'd love to hear your views about the good, the bad and the ugly of modern frontend UI (TypeScript + React) vs Windows native components. With your extensive experience with Windows through the years, it would be super interesting!
