That does indeed appear to be the core problem in societies in this and the last century (and before, presumably.) I'd argue that social democracy seems to be doing pretty well at distributing income and wealth and power. It's a s

Bias against the unmentioned goals? Sure, plausible. But theoretically is argue not necessary. There's no reason why all goals could be covered, in some not to hard to imagine system (perhaps a post-secondary society simply allows anyo

Pardon the criticism, but I've got text running far off the screen on mobile. Somewhat shocking to see a brand new 2019 website that isn't responsive, especially when it's not super difficult.

I'm struggling to agree with this. Take a... Syria during civil war society and compare it to... Norwegian society. I'd argue Norway has vastly more security and freedom. Increasing one didn't increase the other. And both met

Yeah this bugs me too Also (although I'm going on a tangent now) there's mobile news sites that require 3 or 4 clicks before I can read the article: close the app download prompt, the gpdr prompt, the subscribe prompt, the video h

In DNS66, in the apps tab, you can bypass the VPN by app. I think I tried this and had mixed results though. For me I only had twitter glitching at one point, but it doesn't now

Oh boy I'm with you 100% Especially when it's an app I want or need, and it has notifications I need, but still sends out spammy ones too. I think this is possible on Android as you can give apps access to notifications, so it cou

Given flutter can call down to iOS with plugins, and given that the apps are native, apparently, is it not possible to natively use the actual iOS widgets instead of reimplementing them?

So type import whatever. It's really, really not that hard.

That flutter code could have been done in 2 perfectly good lines, if you weren't being deliberately misleading, and one is an import that isn't exactly going to cost you cognitive load. Your JS code isn't better at all. They&

Hang on, why should someone from India have less of a chance just because they were born in India? They can't help where they were born, or that their country has a high population. If there weren't country caps, then someone born

Pretty dismal communication from @cramforce. Seemed like a political response to the questions raised, and I don't think "making the web competitive to native apps and walled gardens" is the real goal (err, Google happens to

Google was, as we all know, widely seen as benevolent when they were fresh on the scene. I don't know about you guys but I think their wish to "Do no evil" was genuine. So what happened? A competitor came long with less scrup

Cut costs and lose the millions of bots! It's disheartening to be followed and messaged by bots all the time. You feel like you're in a echo chamber for crazy people.

Clearly, the norm is phoning home now. Google perhaps sets the benchmark, every single action you take in Google apps, whether native or web, is tracked extensively. As far as I know Chrome OS isn't an exception. Perhaps we need firewa
