I don't even know what this top suggestion is in Safari. But I used web whatsapp every day for the past few weeks. So of course it's completely ignored.
And this new autocomplete panel is so laggy and buggy that even the screenshot tool lags on it!

Lol. Alex Russel got two of his consecutive comments flagged on HN
He was claiming that Blink is a democratic process and that "standards process means that vendors still ship whatever they like, it's not a bug it's a feature"
HN is eating their own (ignorant and intentionally malicious tech bros)

Remember Mac ads where they made fun of so many notifications Windows has?
Well, Windows has *nothing* on the amount of notifications you get for every single thing in MacOS (trying to set up Sequoia from scratch)

So, on Omarchy. Plex and VLC couldn't properly play media from my home Plex server, but mpv can. mpv needs a direct URL to the file, so I needed a tool to browse UPnP devices and shares.
So yeah, this is a 100% vibe-coded tool to do just that.

Isn't this the whole point, @googlephotos that the search results are effing relevant to my search terms?
If the only ones relevant are those four you show with "more", what are the rest? Irrelevant?

Can anyone explain the idiocy in some IDEs (VS Code, Xcode) with "temporary throwaway tabs". You open a file, it opens in a tab. You open the next file... the first file is thrown away and replaced with the new file.
Who in their right mind thought this is a good *default* behaviour?

An irregular reminder that reddit still takes 2-3 seconds to load three times less text than old.reddit despite the backend returning all data in ~400ms. Oh, and a full page reload to load a comment subtree.
I think @jimsimmons.bsky.social should advocate bringing previous staff engineers back.

In exchange you get no hooks and no shelves for your clothes and bathroom stuff
