This seems more similar to word processors prior to PCs taking over that functionality.

They’ve begun to enshittify their reviews. Used to be almost no meme reviews, now they’re everywhere because people can get awards for them. And they of course the ability give awards require you spend money on Steam.
I used to trust “overwhelmingly positive” on games I was considering. Now I don’t. I still read some steam reviews but also reviews across the web, too.
Steam is getting close to me not treating it as the only place to buy games.
This piece was written by a highly-regarded scifi author a year and a half ago. I say that not to complain about the age but rather to marvel at the authors ability to describe so well something that is only becoming clear to many a year and half later.
Also cyclists, don’t cut off other cyclists. Ever. Whether it’s out of selfish convenience or to prove something, don’t do it. Pass safely and ride defensively.
BBQ sauce works with pineapple pizza.
Activity Pub is much more flexible, the tradeoff being that it’s more complex. ActivityPub is basically a flexible CRUD API specifically designed for social networking, with support for federation.
You could fulfill the purpose of RSS with ActivityPub. But, it doesn’t supercede RSS/atom, because the simplicity is valuable for the cases those protocols handle.
Not precisely open world but has the same feeling of exploration, discovery and unlocking, Supraland. Harder puzzles, unlock things that make combat easier. Combat is pretty similar to botw.
This is another sign of what’s already going on. It’s getting into backlash territory.

When done properly it is indeed a great practice.
But so many don’t. The way the modern tech industry functions makes it hard to consistently get right, sadly. I’ve left two companies in the past two years where computational resources for automated testing and validation were simply not available. One didn’t have any manual QA beyond the implementing developer. I’m in a better situation now, but those companies still exist. They’re not exactly tiny startups either.
For all its strengths, without any amount of validation, RWD is very likely to lead to such issues. Unfortunately many industry execs are unsympathetic, seeing RWD as little more than a way to get two things for the price of one.
Responsive design was a neat idea, but has failed in the context of the modern web and tech industry.
Amazingly Google is still the best unpaid search engine, as bad as it has become. Terrible websites have completely taken over the web. To find actual information you need access ProQuest or EBESCOhost or something like that, though their indexes are much smaller.
In the mid aughts every time Google updated their ranking, and results shuffled it was called the “Google dance”. We sorely need a major Google dance.
Riven is still perfect, more perfect now that you don’t need to switch CDs. Doesn’t need a remake.
Cultist simulator, even
It’s so rare to find a situation where someone’s declared opinion is actually wrong on merit.
You can also check for dead links on the internet archive or archive.is.
But everything is content now. sigh
I mean, backing their heyday, word processors were considered a pretty solid upgrade over an electronic typewriter, with a price tag to reflect that.
