on: China's state media buys Meta ads pushing Russia's line on war
The propaganda is also very strong on Chinese social media (especially Wechat). I leave in France and I know a few Chinese person that keep telling me that this war was mainly caused by USA, that the Ukraine president is a dictator and so on...

on: My lizard brain is no match for infinite scroll
A technique I use to realize how bad it is for my brain, is to try to remember everything I saw after a session of browsing. It's often hard to remember at least half of the stuff.

on: When is OAuth2 and Open ID Connect Useful?
Can't agree more with this article! How I see it, the trend is to have different servers for the front and the back and to link them with OIDC, but that's so painfull to implement and with lot of downsides for only a few benefits (at least with the back in .Net, I don't know about other).

I'm not on my computer so I couldn't check, but the bookmarklet opens an iframe right ? I worked on a similar project and unfortunately some websites doesn't allow that. What we end up doing was open it in another window if it was blocked. I could share the code if you're interested

Can you say more about that ? I'm a DotNet developer and I don't see how this could be possible without having several applications

on: Companies that had successful pivots
I'm thinking of Epic Games and their game Fortnite. The game was some kind of tower defence at the begining. They swithed to battle royal and made one of the most played video game of all time.
Ok, it's a small pivot, but it changed the company and gave them so much money that they were able to create their own game store (and fight Apple in court).

Exactly, and they can't influence on the price of the dollar by selling all their assets

Is somebody aware about technical impacts of this kind of change ? I mean, it must break tons of softwares that need to be updated no ? Or I'm just too pessimistic

Love the source code, so clean. First time I see a makefile used like that with Docker and front commands.

I wonder, does the hardware makers have a word to say about it ? Do they get a cut ? As I see it, it can impact sales (just look at how many times the shield is mention here)

on: Transition to React Native
I'm never touching mobile development and especially React Native again!
I'm a web developer and a few years ago, I had the opportunity to develop a mobile app. What a nightmare...
Among the new versions of React Native or Gradle breaking everything, all the npm packages suddenly not maintained anymore, the virtual phones not always starting or refreshing, the custom code you add to do in Java and Objective C because RN cannot do everything, and certainly the worst, the deployment on the app store.

on: HTML Sanitizer API
The front-end tends to use optimistic updates more and more, meanings the user's input is directly used, wihtout passing by the server. I guess that's one of the use cases.

It's even worse when they use terms sign in and sign up, like Github! English is not my native language and it always confuses me.

on: .NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UI
It remains a framework at the end, same as React. The difference is there is less concurrence, and developers can price up their components.
