by rimunroe 2y ago
Other than features specific to a given browser—-which seem to be more uncommon as a user than as a developer—-how can browsers lock you in in anywhere near the way a standalone application can?

That makes sense. I think the earliest evaluation I have is a 1996 one (probably for school accommodations) which uses "ADHD". This tracks with the 1987 terminology switch.

That's a fair point and I'm probably just being overly touchy. I have ADHD-C and (perhaps unsurprisingly) favor ADHD-* nomenclature for distinguishing inside the umbrella. I think a large part of my aversion to "ADD" is

Ah! I was wondering if that might be what you were intending to say, but not being familiar with app development I wasn't sure.

Stopping someone from doing something necessarily requires them to change their behavior. E.g. creating a rule saying you can't dispose of waste in a river forces people who were doing that to find another method of disposal.
