I agree that we should legalize all drugs while also providing help for people who fall into heavy addiction. > It is also prohibited because addicts turn to petty crime... This is just bad logic though. The best thing to do would be to

Dark patterns aren't encouragement. Encouragement would be a statement of why they recommend some action. Instead they try to trick you.

I think this entire line of reasoning eventually boils down to: Fuck capitalism. That's fine with me. Not sure what the hate for "Chrome users on Mac" is for though. Why not "Fuck Mac users" for supporting a company

You can't get push notifications on iOS with a PWA. Without that you simply cannot drive the same kind of user engagement as something like Facebook messenger does. Also people are trained now to look in the app store.

It's a precise gesture, meaning that it happens when you want it to happen and not any other time. I certainly cannot say the same for scrolling with a trackpad. If I happen to brush two fingers on the thing, things start scrolling whe

I like a UI that lets you scroll in every direction by clicking and holding the middle mouse wheel/button down. This is a more precise gesture than any trackpad can offer. Plus, with a vertical mouse you won't be killing your rota

I think forums should let users moderate things for themselves by doing the following: - If I dislike something, don't show me that user/subject anymore unless I choose to explore outside my bubble. - Instead of showing me how the

I tried it out the other day after seeing this announcement. So, I created the default app and it ran fine. Then I wanted to add a menubar to the window, so I found the Flutter menubar plugin, installed it and got it working. My first menu

Because the people who own and control everything would rather build up a government like the CCP so they can better control the "useless eaters" (as Henry Kissinger put it). "Made in China" is exactly the type of curse

I suppose anyone can say "Your argument is coming from your bubble" without saying much else. It's not a great argument. But I think I'd like to hear why you think your read on the situation is better than mine. Here&#x2

If someone said "The remarkably small circle of mostly hair stylists who control bitcoin" would you have responded so many times? No, there's something about gender here that's got you incensed. I'm not trying to
