maybe it could help those doomer "internet is over!" types to even try to look at internet in a positive way - or at least it'd give us a tell through what they'd come up with, if anything at all

the real UI/UX nightmare of firefox is the legacy cruft. it's like every single basic browser function opens in it's own kind of a different view. settings - browser tab. history - a sidebar. actually that's just when yo

why should everyone else obide by that level of strictness of control and limitations, particularly ones that are brought upon by people who can't really use their phone well? put it in a parental control mode, have that limit function

android just checks every app for safety (play protect) and isolates every app at system level. solutions for sideloading are actually very simple. so, is it "safer"? what's "safer" about it? or is it really just a

while this is adorable and maybe even is "giving more to the artist" if ever true, do artists only deserve to be paid only when someone "decides to pony up for an album"? that's a nice $10+ hurdle that will ensure i
