I was happy that they removed 3D Touch because some stuff was simply inaccessible to iPhone SE users.

People here like to say that BigCo has ruined the independent web and that everything is now siloed and blablabla but the truth is that running an independent website fucking sucks in many regards

Someone should go to the EU parliament and tell those busybodies that.

I have also enjoyed and developed for irc a lot, but it's time to move on.

How much does that cost?

Why is table.html loaded as an external resource instead of being in index.html proper?

This comment needs to be accompanied by a soyjak.

Safari has a very low limit of tabs open. I don't manage the tabs of my phone at all, I just let them pile up, and eventually I always hit the limit. Thankfully there's an option that automatically deletes all tabs that you haven't opened in a month.

Your iphone 6s is probably faster than the average android phone sold today.

The desktop client is, to me, not as performant as it should be. Many actions take several hundred milliseconds when it's obvious that they could be much faster.

New paper ignites storm over whether teens experience ‘rapid onset' of transgender identity

I hate, hate, hate how so many web services have started to force 2fa on us. I have many accounts that I don't care that much about and I use bitwarden so it is extremely unlikely that I will get hacked and if I do I don't really care. Still, they force me to open my email account every time I log in because my cookies or ip address do not match my last login so I can input a stupid code. Big offenders in this regard are google, amazon, twitch, outlook, twitter (rarely). I know 2fa exists. If I don't enable it it is because I don't want to.

You are saying that web apps are slow because of the server, when we all have seen web apps that are laggy even when showing animations when you hover over elements. Users with slow CPUs exist!

That is a distortion of my entire comment.

There are sites where the user split per sex is around 2:1. The female-dominated ones are generally more vapid than the male-dominated ones. You can check yourself. That is not to say that male-dominated ones are never vapid. To put it in other words, I would say that almost all female-dominated ones are vapid, while "only" the majority of the male-dominated ones are vapid.

Depends on the corners of the internet that you visit. Tiktok, Instagram, and all vapid places like that have many more females than males.

If this was a problem, the solution would be to allow avatars, and give a unique one (like gravatar) to users who don't set an avatar themselves.

That's okay, but I would never send my phone in for repair without wiping it first no matter what. Surely I'm not alone :-)

Woman: a pretty big one!

It doesn't seem ungoogleable to me: if you google "black midi" all you find is that band.

Masks have gone away already. It's time to move on. Monkeypox requires you to wear a mask on your ass, so that won't interfere with FaceID operation.

Why was that an EEE? It's not like Talk "killed" Jabber. Jabber had very marginal use, it shot up when Jabber support for Talk launched, and then it tanked to the previous levels when Google pulled the plug.

Whatsapp also originally (or maybe still?) used Jabber. The whatsapp protocol was Jabber with binary tokenised XML, iirc.

Interesting because your examples all suck in different ways, especially when devices of different manufacturers (or even models) are supposed to interact.

The addition of MobileCoin to the app?

Isn't "My startup Shortwave" enough disclosure?

Okay, but what if the server burns like it happened to OVH, or your account gets suspended for no reason and they shred all your data, or you simply fat-finger an rm command? How do you (the grandparent) handle that?

Anti-American rhetoric. Old, out of context, mostly irrelevant because of volume. Just a "two minutes hate" moment.

"why is everything more expensive and salaries lower in poorer places?"

How do you handle backups?

QA workers are not tech workers.

I like that I am not being taken seriously as a programmer. I get paid a lot and in exchange I have no responsibilities. If a civil engineer or a doctor make a mistake that kills someone they go to prison. Nothing happens to me for producing crappy code. What are the downsides?
