Well, I know at least seven different people who are using Yuzu and a different fork still ekulating like crazy.

Well yeah you can still use yuzu (if you can find it) but over time software rot will take its toll with no development. Perhaps Torzu or similar will be able to at least keep it maintained to run on current systems even if they make no real progress.

Fantastic. This is what we need. God bless Musk.

Yeah, but we are all in software so for us economy is not a concern. All of us should learn maths.

There needs to be some sort of like a public data dump where apps can simply connect and get the data from.

Why didn't Threads work? Because Zuck is trying to do the bad boy act of Elon but all those who are interested in that are already on Twitter. He will always remain a nerd as long as is building a web app like Facebook. Elon at least has street cred of rockets.

Those themes look worse than the default ones. We really need aesthetic design sense in the open source community.

I'll take a UI that works over one that's pretty any day. (They are almost never both)

Oh man this so reminds me of the old iPhone apps which were so epic and so cool

Who will stop Elon Musk? Google? Haha.. That is laughable. Musk is bigger than anything America has ever seen.

A stock market crash? Much of his wealth and (pre-government) career is about stock pumping.

Well I hope nobody follows Google's design philosophy seriously. They are among the worst in the business.

I've said this for a long time, but the only reason Google search was successful is because they were lucky enough to just have a text area for the search box. If they had tried to do anything else, they would have drowned miserably because their design choices and decisions are so bad.


In other words: they made good design decisions. If they hadn't made good design decisions, their design would be bad.

I think every other design that they have ever done apart from that Google search homepage has been horrible and bad. So that's why they lucked out on that first one.

I would definitely read an in-depth exploration of Google's design failures from someone informed & opinionated on the topic. I found this looking for such a thing: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/81965/what-are-the-di...

I've read a bunch of stuff about their design and why it's so bad, including this one. Bottom line is you cannot scientifically manage your way to design. That is why in the future we are going to see designers with aesthetic sense become more and more useful as AI sort of like starts doing everything.

The first 4 flaws from the link above can definitely be "scientifically" managed even by people without aesthetic sense.

Anvil editor is a great acme replacement.
