I tried looking at the reviews for a monitor, and when I clicked "see more reviews" I got redirected to a page asking me to login and to provide my mobile phone number (which I didn't do for privacy reasons).

On Instagram I was confused at everyone else mentioning Instagram stories because I only have the option of uploading pictures and videos. Then I found out that it's something you can only do if you use Instagram on a phone... I swear I've came across a few sites that wouldn't even let you sign up if you were using a PC

I only ever browse social media on a PC and that's the way it will always be. Sometimes I can't help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? 🫠

Sometimes I get the urge to go check Reddit. But not with that app of theirs, thru Firefox on my mobile and never logged in. Well after trying to view a few things it's so buggy and broken and sometimes it doesn't go back to the threads and just stays in the page I was viewing and suddenly the urge is gone. It's so badly coded.

I'm more upset that RSS is dying off.

With cross platform frameworks there is no excuse to not have features pariry

Sorry for being meta but I think this belongs in rants more than in CC

Sorry, is there a rants community? I wasn't aware there was one so I apologize if it's out of place here. It's not something I'm angry about it's just something I find mildly annoying and I was wondering how many people can relate 😅

I think it's fine personally as well, but I can see it brushing up against these rules:

Keep the conversation nice and light hearted
Avoid controversial topics such as politics or societal debates

It's a slightly contentious issue, so not as easy to keep it lighthearted when people want to complain about it, and technically it could be considered a "societal debate."

I'm not a mod or anything but I think it's fine. At least it's not some of the political or doomer stuff that you see here sometimes

Egh I guess

Mobile traffic far outweighs desktop for most sites, so it makes sense to do so. It’s expensive to maintain two UIs, so most sites just go with a hybrid approach that works well for mobile and fine for desktop.

i dont buy it. modern frameworks allow you to maintain a single codebase for mobile and desktop
