I think the same of "The Graduate (1967)" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cKafIqhEvk
Note - this is not a movie she is in.
In most of Asia where dense cities are the norm, 2 wheelers are the preferred way of daily transportation, and it works very well.
> many of them even in a window
I think I now understand the possible historical reason why the OS was named 'windows' - I used to think the windows name was related to 'a window into a new world', esp considering the scenic Win XP default wallpaper and 'Vista'
Postman/Bruno/insomnia all suffer from the 'curse' of web design making it's way into professional tools leading to lower information density and higher 'white space'.
I feel so strongly on the matter is why I started a project that is unfortunately in comatose for the past year : https://nokori.surge.sh/
The design isn't there yet, but I'm aiming for a professional looking information dense UI.
Higher density of vegitation is what I dearly miss in the sprawl centric cities of California and what I like about my city back in India.
"That last point may seem odd in light of Apple’s victory, but again, Apple was offering an integrated product that it fully controlled and customers were fully aware of, and is thus, under U.S. antitrust law, free to set the price of entry however it chooses. Google, on the other hand, “entered into one or more agreements that unreasonably restrained trade” — that quote is from the jury instructions, and is taken directly from the Sherman Act — by which the jurors mean basically all of them: the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement, investment agreements under the Games Velocity Program (i.e. Project Hug), and Android’s mobile application distribution agreement and revenue share agreements with OEMs, were all ruled illegal.
This goes back to the point I made above: Google’s fundamental legal challenge with Android is that it sought to have its cake and eat it too: it wanted all of the shine of open source and all of the reach and network effects of being a horizontal operating system provider and all of the control and profits of Apple, but the only way to do that was to pretty clearly (in my opinion) violate antitrust law."
The key is 'unreasonably restrained trade' - Any OEM was eligible to use Android, but what google did was restrict competition by 'entered into one or more agreements that unreasonably restrained trade'
This would definitely not be as bad in other countries like India where Foxconn is also trying to setup production.
A lesser known but great tool
I will report back on the experiment, however.
> Zuckerberg was specifically talking about cloud infrastructure software, but the same point applies to AI capabilities as well: Meta isn’t selling its capabilities; rather, it sells a canvas for users to put whatever content they desire, and to consume the content created by other users. It follows, then, that Meta ought to be fairly agnostic about how and where that content is created; by extension, if Meta were to open source its content creation models, the most obvious place where the content of those models would be published is on Meta platforms. To put it another way, Meta’s entire business is predicated on content being a commodity; making creation into a commodity as well simply provides more grist for the mill.

The inconsistencies aren't deal breakers - github still has a very pleasant UI overall - but they do makethe website feel more and more unpolished each day
