@prof_nithiya @prof_nithiya, great work on the dashboard data, have been following it for the past week.
Just a small thing that is bothering me, on mobile browsers the ticker banner at the top cuts off midway several times.

@NewsFromGoogle Great, vertical tabs on the left and Gemini on the right. FE devs you need to be very strict with responsiveness!

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right.
A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files.
Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned.
Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively.
The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files.
The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete.
Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated.
The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right.
That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.

it’s 2026 and this is how you install apps on macOS

@jonastreub @bdc Exactly, once ironed out, it will be a huge relief
English

@bdc Super cool demo! One thing I noticed: there’s a ~1s delay before the animation kicks in after clicking, and interactions are blocked during the animation (clicks on other menu items are ignored). Is this something browsers still need to iron out?

Notice the blue turban guy next to the kid his turban colour changes to purple in between shots 😳😳
₹4000 Cr Movie has new technology altogether it seems 🤩🤩

@dneg @malhotra_namit calls this the “Great AI-Cinematic Reset.” 🔄
With a budget of around ₹4,000 Cr and music by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman, this is not just another film. It is a huge tech experiment.
We will really know how it feels by Diwali 2026 and 2027!

@dneg They also brought in Ziva tech.
That means muscles, skin, movement, all simulated using ML.
If done right, characters like Hanuman will not just look real, they will move real.
English

Hot take: I feel the #RamayanaTeaser is less about the cast and more about a tech gamble.
This might be India’s biggest attempt at redefining VFX. Or its the riskiest one? 🧵

@dneg Now about the “PS4 graphics” criticism
Valid. But also early.
This is what happens when you push new tech at scale!
AI handles the repetitive work,
Artists focus on emotion and storytelling.
IMO, that balance will decide everything.
English

@dneg is not just “using AI.”
They built Brahma, a full AI division to rethink how CGI is created.
This is not small innovation. This is them saying - Let’s rebuild the pipeline itself.
English

I feel the teaser was good, but not awesome. The creator economy is not losing a single second to talk about it, mostly negative talk. Do positive posts don’t get enough reach?
