Frankly it serves Google's interests to degrade users' perceptions of extensions as a whole. In the future there will be less of a fight when they disable extensions entirely to protect their ad business.

There is no way to change useragent in Android Chrome or even Android Firefox. There is just a crippled "desktop mode" button that still tells the site you're on a mobile browser.

I'm saying the morality shouldn't depend on the convenience of technological limitations. A hundred years ago a six month fetus wasn't viable. Now they are. Would abortion still be moral if we could instantly and painlessly t

would it be acceptable to you for me to force you to give a pint of blood every day to keep alive someone in a coma who could not live but for your blood? Apt if the creation of the fetus wasn't your choice, but inaccurate if it was.

If an infant is able to survive outside of another person without being hooked up to modern medical equipment I would say there is a very big difference between it an something which cannot. What happens when we invent artificial wombs? I

The same issue was happening with my local service station. The 16.9 ounce bottle was $1.60 and the 24 ounce bottle was $2.50.

Is there an objective reason to find infanticide worse than abortion, besides cultural mores? It's worse for the performer, certainly, because you have to look at it before you kill it, but a newborn doesn't have any more personal

Sure, but it's a very useful first step. When you want to do something like, say, 3D printing a case for your bluetooth earbuds, there is no approach that isn't tedious.

Do you know a good writeup about him? Everyone in the know feels very differently about him than I do so clearly my opinion is wrong, but I haven't been able to find out why and change my mind.

Is Twitch having money issues? This type of "it hurt itself in its confusion", "fuck everybody that likes us" behavior is typical for failing companies but I thought Twitch was healthy.

Imgur is also highly anti-user and went through its own "if you don't use our app we will strangle you to death" process a few years ago where they slowly stripped features one by one from the mobile site.

I'm not saying psychedelics can't make you perceive things an unaltered brain cannot. I'm just saying they can't fit tens of thousands of times as much thought into the same amount of time, just that they can make you be

I know that while in voice chat with people, I would have moments where I would have a bunch of thoughts, completely forget what just happened, and only a couple seconds of real-world time had passed. Sounds identical to me on a bad ADHD

The sad state of affairs is that licensing complexities mean there are actually a lot of audiobooks that only exist to be accessed by blind people and aren't distributed for commercial sale.

That's a subjective interpretation, and I say that even as someone who believes in objective reality. Nonsense. Where's the thousand years of creative output? If my mind existed for a thousand years I'd be immediately filin

I understood this level of fanboyism when I was twelve and looked forward to only one or two games a year. I don't understand how you can care that much about games in 2023 without also having a backlog big enough to occupy you until f

Maybe this is a bad use, but finding one of those really high-end AI voice suites and running off a bunch of audiobooks for books that never got narrated editions would be cool. Every time I get access to a better one I make a slightly impr
