What happened was, they realised that Arc was a niche product that had a fervient userbase but would never become a mainstream browser, so they announced its development was “complete” and they were moving on to Dia so that they could jump onto the AI bandwagon create the next generation of browser.
The best thing The Browser Company ever did was unintentionally making someone else decide to create Zen.
I’m very mildly pro-AI, in the sense that I remain optimistic there will be at least a few cool use cases and I’d love to find them.
So I tried Dia… And uninstalled it a few hours later. Why would I want to “chat with my tabs”? Even if I didn’t think this was a rubbish use case, every browser comes with a chatbot sidebar/extension/whatever, why would I want to change browsers just for that?
Heavy pass. Also, after how they abandoned Arc, I don’t think they can be trusted to develop a product and not pull the rug from under the users when it becomes mildly inconvenient to keep working on it.
That they’re not republicans in disguise.
I agree, even MacOS is a more capable software development platform than Windows these days.
The generation of Amstrad, Spectrum etc had the games on tape. I would say they were the closest thing to a console pre-NES, so 1980s. I had an amstrad that was handed down to me by a friend of an older sister and it had tapes like this.
Could any kind soul provide a TL;DW for those of us who can’t watch a video (for whatever reason)?
Because if people’s opinions didn’t matter to you, you wouldn’t be feeling insecure, and thus this post isn’t for you.
Tolerance requires rejecting intolerant people.
I once had the great idea of drinking a litre of beetroot juice, which I had read is amazing for sports recovery because of something something helping blood carrying more oxygen or something like that.
Instant diarrhea, and on top of it, beetroot tinted it looked just like blood, so up until I realised what was going on and the fact that it actually wasn’t blood, that was a scary experience.
I don’t know whether beetroot is known to cause diarrhea or it was just my body noping the juice out of it, but I have steered clear of beetroot juice ever since!
Why do you consider the UK’s ticketing system outdated? There’s oyster in/around London and QR codes everywhere else.
What are you missing, is location-based surveillance what would be needed to modernise it in your opinion?
