as an adult with ADHD (and a child who was diagnosed at 11) i dont understand the fascination by laypeople with confidential mental health treatment. if kids can have ADHD surely adults can too. i feel that these types of critical pieces of

it's ok to do your own thing sometimes. if you want to share a nice meal with your wife without your phones just say so. people are often more social now than they used to be, at the cost of some personal attention, sure. i hang out wi

when people feel the need to write "impassioned polemic"s about the use of technology in reducing paper waste and moving the world into the modern era, i have to think of principal skinner from the simpsons. i love and appreciate

apple designed and built the OS, hardware, APIs, servers for building and hosting your app, payment systems, subscription APIs, developer support etc. i'd be fine with apple saying "we take 0%, but then you have to do literally ev

normal people don't care about web apps or app stores. they care that they can tap-to-pay securely and effortlessly, and that there are pretty background photos for contacts. they care about mostly first party apps and tiktok and web b

the first two or three paragraphs dont really make sense. developers are not end-users, and if they are making profit to pay the 30%, they are making money. small businesses are only charged 12/15% anyway.

very thoughtful and eloquent response. i echo this sentiment, as i stopped taking meds in high school, and i struggled more then and at uni, and just in general. i recently got back on meds and they’ve been an invaluable tool to organise my

this might be the “best outcome” for some nerds or android users, but it certainly isnt the best outcome for most consumers. iOS has resisted a lot of the crap and cruft of windows and android because of its opinionated nature. sure, siri c

one case is poor media reporting during a war, the other is a man literally agreeing with and supporting white supremacists and neo-nazis. NYT wasn't being antisemitic, but elon undoubtedly was

most american/anglo content ever. why can’t we just take knowledge from others and recognise that we have some obligation to ourselves to use our brains?

identity “verification” by ssn is stupid; almost every other democracy has national id systems and residential verification and it works better and is easier to get benefits or prove yourself than real id and any other absurd american inven

get better led bulbs. i honestly dont understand how people become so fixated on minutæ. my led bulbs look great, and i’ve never thought “wow i really miss inefficient, energy-wasting, hot, single-colour bulbs from 30 years ago” ¯\_(ツ)_&#x2

it’s only been getting worse because half the country believes freedom and women’s rights, and marriage equality shouldnt exist, and that we dont need fair elections, so i dont think twitter has really improved anything.

the second is in reference to technology and customer experience, don’t be obtuse. comparing apple’s integrated approach to cocaine drops for kids tells me all i need to know about your bias; consumers like apple products, they are privacy

terrible idea. people buy apple products precisely because of how integrated they are. this idealism and desire to force companies to support everything (as much as i want gaming on mac/linux and drivers for things supported) is the si

some people dont care about lock-in. i like that my iPhone and mac work together, i can text from my computer, share all my apps/data across oses, and that macOS gets out of the way to let me do my work. 95% of what i do is in the term
