Press any key to continue... No, not that one!

  • The Chinese have it right with the food too. Love me egg foo yung

  • And probably not as intentional as most people think it is vs just laziness and maybe a lack of planning.

  • Would surely overload servers too, as an infinite amount of instances make tons of requests all at once at random times. Oof.

  • Yeah founder made an update here.

  • AI like another poster said. But I'm sure it being a youtube video has something to do with it too. A lot of us would rather read then watch a youtube video. Some people also dont like youtube and would rather not support it.

  • Yeah very insecure

  • This is so mildy pedantic it's adorable lol

  • Why dont people understand? They want it from the scratch!!

  • This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.

    There's a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like "uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money".

    It's just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.

  • Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

  • Right, and what's even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they're bots posing as people.

    That's arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.

    But they'll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.

    "Our bad bots good, your good bots bad". What a crazy world we live in.

  • Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn't sound too "techy", not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

  • Didn't someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

  • For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

  • Ok you've peaked my curiosity.

    but with large potential consequences.

    What are some of the consequences you see?

  • Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It's almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

  • AllSides is a good one too
