Your comment would be much more persuasive if you provide a concrete actionable suggestion instead of vague handwringing about “finding a better user agent” (and don’t get me started on how “user agent” is basically just an ingroup signal these days)

- ashwinsundar 1y ago“User agent” is a technical term. what ingroup does it signal that you’re part of, by using the term correctly?
- signal-intel 1y agoThe most despicable group of the modern era: folks who expect their own software to act on their own behalf.

- fsckboy 1y agoenglish usage aside: you could accuse him of handwaving, but he's not complaining, so his comment is not "handwringing". you are complaining (about his comment) so your comment is closer to handwringing. "find a better user agent" is not handwringing; "i can't find a better user agent" is handwringing.
