Longer lines of text are harder to read. There's a reason newspapers, books, articles, etc are all vertical and often have a similar amount of words per line. It's easier to follow, scan, and find your place. Some more on this bel

Sorry. I really meant that there's nothing people are reading or viewing that has higher contrast in the natural world. I should've been clearer (and less forthright). Your points about day/shade contrast and eyes adjusting a

Paper and ink have at best, a ~15:1 contrast ratio (bleached white paper and black ink). > The majority of screens have crappy contrasts (100:1). No idea where you're pulling this from. A MacBook Air display from 2010, a very averag

No. There's pretty much nothing in the natural world that has the contrast ratio a modern screen can produce. It is easier on the eyes to not have blindingly high contrast. No printed page in any book or magazine you've seen has

Have you ever seen a book? They have huge gutters and margins, and not-quite-black text on creme/off-white/never-actually-white backgrounds... why? Because it's easier of the eyes for long blocks of text.

I know what you’re complaining about, I just think it’s silly at this point. Old versions work still, you can create your own. The app has had lengthy and good support — which you can extend if you choose.

You create a backport just for yourself for your own device without needing the store, no distribution/App Store is needed. You don't like some of the Liquid Glass stuff... fine, make something else. The old versions still work ,

It makes sense. Like you said, previous versions used the macOS design language at the time, and the current version does the same. The developer has chosen to no longer support older versions of macOS, they aren't required to. The old

by sherry-sherry 8mo ago
The app has always followed the masOS design language, because the app is built using the native macOS tools. It makes sense for it to match the OS it's on, apps built with stand UI components migrated to 'Liquid glass' much

Or using ‘tabular figures’ for the numbers. It keeps just the number widths the same. I believe it’s ‘font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;’ in CSS. I often see it on sports broadcasts, or anything with a counter where the number changes and

Good. When ICE are targeting people without valid warrants and without providing due process, ICE should be met with resistance. People should not be kidnapped, even if by an officer. I’m not sure why you aren’t understanding this.

If they can do so within the rules of the constitution then ok. But they have been shown to blatantly ignore those, often forcefully kidnapping innocent people and entering homes without warrants.
13.
by sherry-sherry 1y ago
But they do have a right to due process, which many aren’t getting. That is unconstitutional. There are also people who are citizens or are allowed to be there but are taken away regardless (you know, without due process).

Just to be clear, you are cool with and believe it’s constitutional for an entire building of residents to be forced to leave and have their homes searched? They need a warrant for each place of residence (each apartment), they did not have

by sherry-sherry 1y ago
It’s unconstitutional to raid an entire apartment building and force everyone out as they search for potential “illegals” to take away without due process. We are far beyond a couple an individual cases, it’s become the norm. Stay at home o

Apple makes huge claims about their involvement in advancing things like inclusion and diversity, workers rights, privacy rights, equity and justice. They literally sell pride merch which they make a profit from. Apple market themselves as

Which is why all of them should, every single one. Ones who don't should be called out by others. Same thing at White House press conferences, push push push them relentlessly with questions that make them uncomfortable... make them sq

Being arrested is fine if due process is followed. ICE isn't following due process because they are pieces of shit. Multiple times now they've been found to have removed innocent people with little chance of recourse. Only after h

ICE puts people in danger and disregards their due process. When a group is performing unconstitutional activities they should be tracked and stopped where possible.

Federal law enforcement officers who swore an oath to the country… not the president. They can and should push back against this shit. The app doesn’t block them in any way, it just lets people see where they are active. There is no issue o

I'd love for all tech reviewers at future product launches to go: "Yeah cool new iPads thanks... why did you guys block and remove an app that wasn't illegal? One that helped people know if armed forces that could search them
22.
by sherry-sherry 1y ago
The app doesn't do that. It gives people a heads up that constitution-hating armed forces are in the area, forces that can search you and tear up your home without a warrant. This is happening now. Armed and masked intruders who don&#x

That's true. I think carriers always need to be pushed via law. Australia mandated carriers to support number portability (including transfer time-frames) in 2001-ish. It suddenly became so easy to shop around, keeping your number was

The flip-side to that is what if your phone had been stolen or lost? You're out of luck with a physical SIM, but eSIM could be transferred to a new device.

by sherry-sherry 1y ago
I agree. Thankfully in my country (Australia) eSIMs are handled pretty well, no charges for updates/changes and can be done without interacting with a customer service rep. You can also switch back from eSIM to a new physical SIM (say

I don't think it's what's happening here, but iPhones absolutely communicate with each other when there's no cellular network. The 'Find My' network uses all iPhones/iPads/Macs (unless disabled) to lo

The speeds and reliability suck compared to the built-in SSDs, and users will blame slow speeds on the phone. Some Android device makers would not allow apps to be installed in the microSD to combat this, of course users complained. This ca

No one is running away from it. Please don't assume your experiences are wildly different from others without any basis for it. No one is ignoring, outsourcing, or running away from it — the end result is the same, a person has died an

I guess that is yet another thing people can have very different opinions on. Everything you just mentioned sounds absolutely horrific to me. I would never want my family and friends to do any of that to me, nor would I do it for them.

This is wonderful. A shining example of how art can be tailored to its medium, and when doing so, elevates both. On a side note: many of the pages on the site — with multiple large images, video, and sound — use 1/4th the data than of
