Ultimately, you dont have to trust a computer. You have to trust the corporation that built that computer. That is quite different IMO. How am I supposed to entrust my life to a machine built by a corporation that just recently dropped t

The feminist movement managed to make femininity almost a swear word. Fascinating and very sad. As a male, I was always turned off by unisex products. I wonder how much profit these big companies make with this new marketing strategy. Is

This would have been inherently inaccessible to people with visual disabilities. Besides: 5 years later, I ordered the first pizza in my hometown. It never arrived. Gotta love the new trends of the Internet.

Yes, "ahead of" probably sounds better. I am not a native speaker.

As a user, I am pretty happy about most of the negative points listed in this article. Yes, manual reviews are my firewall against too much scamming. I dont want app providers to notify me about their upcoming company party. It is already

That reminds me, during iOS 8, the Safari back button was broken for VoiceOver users. For half a year. They fixed it a few months before the next release :-(

As a VoiceOver user, I can provide a lesser known perspective. I've gotten used to waiting several months until I actually install a new major release. With the exception of iOS 12, basically all releases since iOS 5 were quite buggy

Talented coworkers dont need documentation very often... If someone cant figure out how to compile something, its likely they are missing knowledge about the language in general...

Not on a daily basis, but I see ads for scams on youtube as well. Different topic, but the strangest thing I witnessed on youtube was ads for audible during a stolen audible book... So the owner of the content payed the thief (indirectly,

Political emails are spam. No matter from which direction they come from. So tagging them as spam seems just the right thing to do.

Your people invaded Iraq just 15 years ago. No matter what you say, I believe you have a rather large obligation when it comes to Iraq. It is easy to forget history, right?

I agree with your analysis, but I dont agree with the motivations. The issue is forced growth. Why exactly is it so important for Google to have a market share in China? As if they aren't dominating the internet enough already. And

I am sorry, but I dont believe that casually raising an issue here or there will actually change anything. My experience is that it either gets ignored, or you outright receive an aswer that explains to you that your needs are not importan

All they are doing is saying things which a certain audience wants to hear. Nobody really cares about inclusion or diversity. They just claim to do so, because in this day and age, they will benefit from doing so.

Isn't this basically the same with all big corporations these days? If you say unpopular things on your YouTube channel, you will be demonitized.as a way of punishment. In short, either you please big brother, or you will suffer.

I guess 99.9% are. However, it is pretty hard to order a pizza or buy your weekly load of groceries with a CLI tool :-) If you want to interact with the rest of the world, you will likely need to use the web...

This approach doesn't work. It has been tried in the past, and almost always produced the same result. The alternative version is not maintained, and after a while you end up with just a small selection of features to be useable for

This would be wonderful news. I am blind, and can report that accessibility on websites is getting worse and worse with every new web framework invented. Accessibility is usually bolted on as an afterthought, with all the quality issues i

Oh, thats so british. "we want brexit, but we want a deal with all the benefits". Another reason to want a hard brexit yesterday. The british play this pick and choose game since they joined the EU. When push comes to shove, t

I am 100% blind. This article confirms my fears. In the future, it will be more dangerous to walk the streets then it already is. I was born with an deep fear of automatic doors. And I will likely die due to the autonomous car revolutio

I don't care. I want BREXIT now, since the british voted for it. All these delays are poison for democracy. Hard brexit yesterday. And if the pro EU people want to join again, they can apply in 5 years if they manage to find a majo
