spixy — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:36:41 +0000

Why do I prefer app:

- just click on the icon, no need to type to address bar or search in bookmarks list

- faster to load - no need to download JS/CSS, also my credentials are remembered so no need to login

- biometric login, no 2FA (finance apps, etc.)

- notifications and their customization (browsers only have on/off)

Why do I prefer mobile web:

- I need multiple instances (tabs) of the website

- I need to know URL of the specific page

comparing to Node, .NET is batteries included: built-in Linq vs needing lodash external package, built-in Decimal vs decimal.js package, built-in model validation vs class-validator & class-transformer packages, built-in CSRF/XSRF protection vs csrf-csrf package, I can go on for a while...

"You don't know what to say. That's fine."

Well if I don't know what to say, I either don't start a conversation or I can use some opener like "How are you?" and then end the conversation (because I don't know what to say). But then what is the point?

I hope Iran government will finally fall, and those 30,000 dead Iranians will get at least proper burials. And that war won't spread into other countries like yours.

Unless you develop games in Unity, and have banned C# features like classes or LINQ (because they allocate on heap and Unity garbage collector is bad and make your game to micro freeze / stutter). Sure there are cases where classes are fine (singletons, pooling), but still...

No. The reason $49.95 works because $4x.xx price on first look looks better than $5x.xx price ($50.00).

Windows 8/10 were more stable than XP/Vista.

Not sure what is bad with data mining / telemetry (as long it is anonymised and respects GDPR).

Adware is issue only on Windows 11.
