They could also just use flutter which is skia under the hood - I think would be substantially faster than dealing with Xamarin. Doing stuff with Skia on MAUI at least is tricky because there is no concept of a mouse, so good luck creating

Others have commented that Chrome does this already. Edge also does all or almost all these things. Bookmarks bar might be disabled by default, but iirc it is a right-click away, and only has to be configured once. Safari also supports ever

Please research implicit bias. Also, please recognize that “hard to overcome” implies an effort to overcome and recognize that that thinking is wrong. If I had to justify it, I would say that I have been conditioned over the course of 20+ y

Completely agree, even as someone who has struggled with obesity and continues to struggle with overweight. But there is an important nuance. In many if not most cases, obesity is really a behavioral health issue, and feelings of shame make

Very cool project, but as others have said there are performance issues even on high end devices. Full disclosure: I work for Esri, a competitor to Mapbox. This probably could have been implemented more quickly and easily, with better usabi

Strong Towns has been pushing the narrative that this may be a result of roads becoming less congested, therefore eliminating a naturally occurring traffic calming measure. I find the narrative reasonably persuasive but I’m not 100% convinc

The Google-style interview (not just Google but big tech in general) selects for a very specific kind of tactical narrow-focus intelligence. Thinking big picture or strategically doesn’t come up at all in an algorithms interview. And thinki

Do you know if extensions work, too? That was the big thing keeping me off Firefox on iOS, and thus, Firefox on Mac. I want something that syncs to all my devices and supports extensions on all my devices. TBH not allowing safari extensions

Yes, loads of strip clubs and full nudity is allowed. There are gay strip clubs, vegan strip clubs, and a whole range beyond that.

As an adult I want this feature. I’ve received dick pics unsolicited. Sometimes I want to see, sometimes I don’t. I’d like blurring by default for those moments when I’m screen sharing or looking at my phone in public. Kids receiving unsoli

There are places in the US where it’s more like Europe. In Oregon full nudity is 100% legal everywhere, with no restrictions. Yes, I have seen many penisis I didn’t want to see; sometimes from the naked bike rides, sometimes from people in

Portland, OR is moving towards potentially implementing ShotSpotter. The population is 6% Black. The homicide victims are 50% Black. We have twice the homicide count of Seattle, or more homicides than Seattle and SF combined. Portland is sm

Europeans have a lot going for them that should make them more competitive - social safety net, better regulation, ability to build infrastructure without local opposition. Gun violence is a huge drag on the American economy, so it doesn’t

Americans seemingly can. Walmart and Target do healthy business, despite facing the big and fearsome Amazon. So does Shopify and Shopify’s merchant partners. So does my local book store (the French say it is impossible for bookstores to com

The parent comment was being unfair. There is one market where Europeans dominate both in sheer volume and in innovation: excuses. Excusing business, excusing governments; an international pastime of the Europeans, apparently. Europeans did

How are you getting so few podcasts? I never use Spotify for podcasts but it is 50% of the Home Screen - every other row. At some point they took to embedding podcasts in playlists but it seems they stopped later? I don’t like how they play

It’s pretty well documented that straight men have a harder time finding partners for anonymous/casual sex than gay men do. It’s like a whole complex for people, almost to the level of being a meme. https://www.quora.com&#x2

Safari on iOS has extensions, including Adblock extensions, and has for some time now. They even have an extension that blocks ads on YouTube and forces it to use the native video player, so you can get Picture in Picture without an app.

Why did you choose iPhone? Are you confident that EU bureaucrats can do a better job at keeping those reasons in place than the company that build the platform you chose? If sideloading was more important to you than the experience afforded

This is naive and assumes that there aren’t bigger, badder actors to deal with - Facebook, Google, and others can and will abuse their position. This will make the iPhone worse for everyone, especially if chrome manages a dominant position

What do you think the ratio of developers to users is? Coexisting with closed computing is buying an Android, not forcing open the gates with a battering ram. It’s incredibly naive to think opening the ecosystem won’t lead to abuse and a wo

Good for you. Have you considered that you live in a bubble? People buy iPhones because they work better, and end-to-end control of the experience is how Apple does that. If you don’t want a curated experience, there is Android. Given the b

People don’t choose iPhone because they want those things, they choose iPhone because they want to be protected from them. Look at the Lumenate app that was just on hacker news yesterday: - Android users are complaining about having to crea

Apologies, I missed the username change. I thought it was fair game given the context of the comment chain but missed that a different person made the original claim. Most of what you’re writing about is sort of a silly basis for an argumen

If it is settled science, I would hope you could find and share authoritative evidence that it is. What I’ve seen over the years (and I’m not that old) is that the mainstream “consensus” changes every 10-15 years, and that many landmark&#x2
