I am using Brave and YouTube Revanced on my android and I completely forgot what ads look like

I was in Philadelphia for a week and also used my commute time (2 hours in total each day) to program. As a web developer who uses Github Copilot and often checks documentation online, I did not have such a good experience as OP had. Mobile data is pretty much nonexistent in Philadelphia in the subway and there are also no wifi Hotspots. Sure, it was better than nothing, but I would quite often find myself waiting for the subway to arrive at stations and hoping that there is at least some internet connectivity there.

I tried to self host penpot a few months ago but the app would crash after a few minutes and not properly show the canvases. So a no for me

They seem to update very frequently; I don't know if it still crashes now — I'm planning to try it myself.

I self-hosted Penpot, and during use I also encountered crashes — but it was my browser that crashed. I’m not sure what caused it (because I was forced to close the page).

They are actually working on a new canvas-based rendering engine in order to get away from using the DOM so that should help performance quite a bit.

that gonna be huge effort , looking forward to that.

yes

Why's that?

it rewards viral, vague behavior that only draws clicks but doesn't actually generate knowledge

Can you expound? I've heard about some controversy around them not moderating hateful content, which fair enough.

But how does it reward anything if you're not engaging with anything outside of direct article links or newsletters you subscribe to?

IMO your comment is not constructive unless you think the linked article is "viral vague behavior that only draws clicks"

It's constructive criticism towards the platform.

How does it do this? It hosts texts and newsletters? You mignt as well say any blog post hosting service is like that

It presents likes and reshares metrics. This rewards content that is vague and viral. If you can trick people to make numbers go up, doesn't matter the quality of the content.

It's garbage. C'mon, we all know this already.

running into a windmill considered harmful

considered harmful considered harmful

One could make a vague substack post about this.
