8 hours of work already mean about 10 hours dedicated to work, including commute and preparation. It’s 18 hours if you include sleeping and you only have 6 hours left for “recreation,” which must also include personal errands, cooking and cleaning.

If you work 10/12 hour shifts you have no life. No wonder people await the weekend like it’s air.

Not everyone can be a professional. Companies like Amazon, Walmart and Monsanto squeeze out “mom and pop stores” so they can no longer compete and end up working for the man.

Service itself is pretty good compared to the EU. Consumer protection for goods however isn’t. Most products in the EU must come with a 2-year consumer warranty for example.

Can’t wait for them to block stepbrother and BBC

Doesn’t that already happen? Chrome currently survives thanks to advertising either way. Splitting Google would just make it a little more indirect.

Users of CSS frameworks do it to cut corners and follow whatever the framework suggests.

“The small breakpoint is 768px wide? I guess below it it’s a phone, I hope you like burgers”

On iOS it just changes the UA. This means that regular CSS-only responsive sites don’t change at all, unlike what the other 2 comments are suggesting. Maybe on Android it’s different.

The author is actually complaining about narrow viewports and not about portrait orientations, without even realizing it.

It’s not that hard to display a few paragraphs. It’s hard to display complex pieces of information while also making them look good to the client (which, we should remember, pays our bills)

Agreed completely. One mistake that designers/developers do though is to completely give up under 1000px so we get this swaths of whitespace and a hamburger. That’s a waste of estate and a waste of my time.

There’s a good reason why there are no real DPI media queries: You should not decide how big things appear on the screen, that’s up to the user. The user has the ability to change resolution or to change the website’s zoom level, you should never access the real size and decide that a button must be exactly 1cm wide in real life on every screen for everyone.

Just design for the default and then people will zoom or change resolution if the default isn’t enough.

People downvoted you but there’s some truth here. There’s only one thing that comes to mind:

> First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

> Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

> Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

> Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I know, I know. Nobody is killing anyone, so let them close any group they don’t like. It’s not a problem amirite?

> No browser I ever used offers a good solution to not only store bookmarks but also being good at finding them again.

And tabs solve this problem how? In most browsers they aren’t even searchable.

The only advantage over a folder of bookmarks is that you can close one with a shortcuts, whereas bookmarks require several clicks.

This applies to everything in the browser honestly. Why can’t I bind a variable to the DOM natively? I want the variable X to match the value of <input> and vice versa without having to set up a bunch of listeners and hope they don’t go in a loop.

What a joke. You’re willing to go broke so they lose 2% of their capital? Good job.

What you’re feeling is called Schadenfreude. I wonder how long before enough people realize they made a mistake to trigger another referendum.

This is super interesting, I didn’t know that Shortcuts could track apps opening and closing.

They’re ok but they should be more precise:

1. Require websites to be concise and offer a yes/no ONLY.

2. Reverse-lobby browser vendors to turn this into an API.

3. Require everyone to use the API.

Now users can block or accept all requests at once like they can block or accept Notification requests.

Don’t read this because you can’t unsee. I prefer to be ignorant of what it could have been because I don’t want to groan about it for the rest of my days.

I did not expect this kind of performance. Neat!
