As for "negatively impacting your ability to interact with the site", that refers to the practice of slowbanning and hellbanning. Slowbanning is what it sounds like - the site will be slower for you, sometimes just a little and sometimes a

You should try Chrome or Opera mobile, they both have a fat-finger zoom when you tap ambiguously so you can confirm what you really wanted to do.

Just to play the devil's advocate here, it's not like Google Play is necessary for an Android device to work. That's already an extreme improvement over Apple's store, which is even less free, open, and modular and also requires you to crea

Um.... So because the author doesn't normally soapbox about this hot-button issue but felt unusually compelled to call this instance out, you're less inclined to take him seriously? Never mind that either side of that is the worst kind of

I don't pretend to know anything about the relevant IP laws, but from a lay perspective I think there's a big difference between taking one piece of art and making a new derivative piece of art from it, and taking the same piece of art and

Interesting way to put it.. So you're not saying they should have put up an Easter doodle, you're just expressing incredulity that they didn't?
