Also, a huge thank you to QoQa for having welcomed us in their lovely workspace. Their friendly welcome, impeccable organization, and yummy refreshments after the talk made the evening truly unforgettable.

Last week, Geneva.rb had the privilege to be hosted by QoQa for a fascinating talk by @marcoroth.dev. We were captivated by what Herb already enables today, and even more so by how it could reshape the Rails frontend stack.

More on Apple’s Trust-Eroding ‘F1 The Movie’ Wallet Ad Sending this ad is completely destructive to all the hard work other teams at Apple have done to make Apple Wallet actually private — and, more importantly, *to get users to believe that it’s private*...

Apple’s gross F1 Wallet ad is an example of the winning-is-the-only-good disease that’s taken over the tech industry. It’s not remotely about user trust or providing a good experience. It’s solely about hitting KPIs; we’re just fodder for metrics. daringfireball.net/2025/06/more...

Seems like we’ll be fine in the post-Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era… 🎾

Billing address form. A couple of fields prefilled. Street and number fields are empty. The address is in another field. It's impossible to tell in which field because there are no visible labels.

Here's an example for why using placeholders instead of visible labels is a bad idea.
I tried to order something. See how street and street number are empty? The browser prefilled the address but in the wrong field. I don't know which field and I can't trust the form now. I have to check everything.

Are Em Dashes Really a Sign of AI Writing? Viral posts and clips on social media suggest the em dash is the product of AI chatbots, with some calling the punctuation mark a 'ChatGPT hyphen.'

> the received opinion that the long dash is a product of generative AI that basically didn’t exist in years past is a worrying sign about public literacy

Excerpt from Robert Colwell's "The Pentium Chronicles" on why he left Intel.

Bob Colwell writing in 2008 about why he left Intel in 2000 is breathtakingly revealing as to the deep roots of the company's culture problem.

Comic showing a user asking Chrome browser for search results, only to watch in frustration as simple web results get buried under a growing stack of ads, shopping links, FAQs, and AI content. The Chrome mascot cheerfully adds each unwanted layer while ignoring the user's requests.

This is why we built Kagi. Pure search, relevant results, zero ads and trackers.
