Actually, you misunderstood the response. They said "In short, my UX on iOS is better without them (web notifications) even being possible". How could they know when Apple never implemented it? The fact that apps had unregulated

I organize them by category and I can tap twice faster than you can swipe, type, tap. This way is easily faster if you have a reasonable number of apps. Typing to find things would only be faster if you had more than say 220 apps. Even if I

Can the user merge the workspace panel into the the system panel and move all that to the bottom of the screen instead? I honestly can't stand global top bars and "system panels" that are nothing more than always-visible laun

XFCE here, for the same reason - I've been trying out Gnome since the early 2000s and it's always been a bug-ridden, bloated pig. Meanwhile XFCE is simple, lightweight and it just works.

I've been using Manjaro Linux as my daily driver for 2 years and I can't complain at all about it. It absolutely just works. Installing software is easier than any other OS and Manjaro's default desktop environment, XFCE, doe

I don't think they were suggesting it was irrelevant, I think they were saying that Apple and fans often value aesthetic over functional quality, which is certainly not wrong .

Then give us a control to adjust the threshold.

No. If half the population would be forced to leave their digital home in order to make things right, the landlord is at fault.

Yeah, not only that but Linux users are known to be hostile to commercial software companies. Given that, the microscopic market, and the additional programming complexity I don't see a reason why any game company should go out of thei

It's really not just about the 30% here though. It's the 30% + being feature/speech-restricted by Apple while also competing with Apple in Apple's app store which holds half the US audience captive. Third parties can&#x2

Not at all. I have and use both because half of my customers use one and the other half uses the other. That’s the problem though. When half of the people in United States have no choice but to leave their digital home in order to get some

How so? Having a choice of who to do business with is always good for the customer.

If you don't like having choices and you think choices are bad for people then perhaps you'd prefer to live in a place like China. This lawsuit is taking place in the USA where people overwhelmingly value freedom of choice. Speaki

I want the ability to run my own app store so I can secure more profits than going through Apple. I want side loading too. I’m a little guy. Am I a bad guy though because I want freedom for me and my own customers to interface digitally w

Apple has at least 50% of the market in the USA. They have 90% of the youth market so the general market share just keeps growing. You can't have a successful app business without putting your offering in Apple's app store. Our ex

I look forward to hearing an argument about how game consoles are nearly as important to society or as ubiquitous, as smart phones.

Do public taxes pay for my care when I’m old? I thought we just got Social Security which is a fixed rate.

Meh. Everybody ran Windows too, until they didn’t. Software moves too fast. Even the hegemony of Android and iOS which is even more bothersome to many, will be broken before long. Also, Edge is not Chrome. So, you can always run that if you
