Why would non-technical users want computing under their control? Isn't the market going the other way, more and more towards walled gardens? Seems like a Chromebook or iPad would …

If someone is going to naively brute-force your login screen, it's safe to assume they're going to look at the sign-up password requirements anyway. Nobody is just going to throw t…

You mean the horribly imprecise date wheel of doom thing? https://i.stack.imgur.com/ms5tX.png That's the one UI control I hate the most. Please don't do that. It replaces 3 seconds…

(Sorry for the slow reply! Your response made me want to dwell on this some more before answering.) One, whatever my replies may be, I am by no means either a purist or an exemplar…

Thanks for taking the feedback into consideration.

It's less about transparency and more about the culture. Developers sell deliverables and marketing consultants sell attempts. As the GP said very few are actually willing to charg…

Distributed, decentralized projects are great, when they build up the infrastructure in a way that respects existing network traffic. Yes, DNS is distributed and communal, but it's…

The digital marketers I've known typically just configure ads in marketplaces not controlled by them, plus use questionable (both in terms of ethics and impact) SEO practices and d…

Wow, that requires a lot of fingers. It's like an OS and fighting game all in one.

I bet Teams secretly used Word xml style tags behind the scenes.

You think Microsoft, of Ribbon and Clippy and full-screen start menu ads, and 20 different control panels for the same settings, does UX testing...? The same Microsoft that can't d…

(edit... sorry, don't know how this turned into a long rant. Started typing over lunch and just couldn't stop... feel free to skip this, just a stream-of-consciousness dump.) Somew…

You hate your users and love watching them shake a fist at the hardest captchas.

I think you're leeching off someone else's infrastructure and using it to do things they never meant it to do. Sure, the technical capability is there, but your use case would dras…

Malware/adware authors would love to buy those.

IMHO only -- I don't claim to be representative of any other planteater but myself -- it sought holistic, transformative change. Rather than just "eat less meat" (like Meatless Mon…

It was meant in jest, but if you must take it seriously, my opinion is that veganism as a movement has largely been coopted by high-gloss, low-impact "plant based foods" marketing …

TLDR to be happy, one simply must be a kidnapper in Brazil with a good family and set schedule.

They can actually choose whether they want to be milked every morning. One line leads to a tiny milking station. There, retired surgeons use designer nanopumps to relieve silk glan…

Ah, thanks for explaining! Sounds like pitfalls of going with a custom design. Do you think it's a necessary tradeoff? Are other laptops with custom designs subject to the same int…

They did a plenty fine job demonizing themselves. A generation of police trained to be militarized against our own citizens and unaccountable to the law, covering each other's misd…

That's exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you again!

I noticed that Mapbox Studio has a way of creating & exporting styles (kinda like stylesheets but for maps). Do you know if those styles can be imported into a libre renderer like …
