    Longer lines of text are harder to read. There's a reason newspapers, books, articles, etc are all vertical and often have a similar amount of words per line. It's easier to follow…

    Sorry. I really meant that there's nothing people are reading or viewing that has higher contrast in the natural world. I should've been clearer (and less forthright). Your points …

    Paper and ink have at best, a ~15:1 contrast ratio (bleached white paper and black ink). > The majority of screens have crappy contrasts (100:1). No idea where you're pulling this …

    No. There's pretty much nothing in the natural world that has the contrast ratio a modern screen can produce. It is easier on the eyes to not have blindingly high contrast. No prin…

    Have you ever seen a book? They have huge gutters and margins, and not-quite-black text on creme/off-white/never-actually-white backgrounds... why? Because it's easier of the eyes …

    I know what you’re complaining about, I just think it’s silly at this point. Old versions work still, you can create your own. The app has had lengthy and good support — which you …

    You create a backport just for yourself for your own device without needing the store, no distribution/App Store is needed. You don't like some of the Liquid Glass stuff... fine, m…

    It makes sense. Like you said, previous versions used the macOS design language at the time, and the current version does the same. The developer has chosen to no longer support ol…

    The app has always followed the masOS design language, because the app is built using the native macOS tools. It makes sense for it to match the OS it's on, apps built with stand U…

    Or using ‘tabular figures’ for the numbers. It keeps just the number widths the same. I believe it’s ‘font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;’ in CSS. I often see it on sports broadcas…

    Good. When ICE are targeting people without valid warrants and without providing due process, ICE should be met with resistance. People should not be kidnapped, even if by an offic…

    If they can do so within the rules of the constitution then ok. But they have been shown to blatantly ignore those, often forcefully kidnapping innocent people and entering homes w…

    But they do have a right to due process, which many aren’t getting. That is unconstitutional. There are also people who are citizens or are allowed to be there but are taken away r…

    Just to be clear, you are cool with and believe it’s constitutional for an entire building of residents to be forced to leave and have their homes searched? They need a warrant for…

    It’s unconstitutional to raid an entire apartment building and force everyone out as they search for potential “illegals” to take away without due process. We are far beyond a coup…

    Apple makes huge claims about their involvement in advancing things like inclusion and diversity, workers rights, privacy rights, equity and justice. They literally sell pride merc…

    Which is why all of them should, every single one. Ones who don't should be called out by others. Same thing at White House press conferences, push push push them relentlessly with…

    Being arrested is fine if due process is followed. ICE isn't following due process because they are pieces of shit. Multiple times now they've been found to have removed innocent p…

    ICE puts people in danger and disregards their due process. When a group is performing unconstitutional activities they should be tracked and stopped where possible.

    Federal law enforcement officers who swore an oath to the country… not the president. They can and should push back against this shit. The app doesn’t block them in any way, it jus…

    I'd love for all tech reviewers at future product launches to go: "Yeah cool new iPads thanks... why did you guys block and remove an app that wasn't illegal? One that helped peopl…

    The app doesn't do that. It gives people a heads up that constitution-hating armed forces are in the area, forces that can search you and tear up your home without a warrant. This …

    That's true. I think carriers always need to be pushed via law. Australia mandated carriers to support number portability (including transfer time-frames) in 2001-ish. It suddenly …
