VlijmenFileer··on The Framework Laptop
Yeah I understand not everybody has the same use pattern. But my right hand about /lives/ on those keys half of the time. I got a new work laptop a few months, some 13inch Fujitsu with same arrow keys. It's also not a matter of time; I /still/ cannot properly use them. And though I'm Caucasian, I do not even have big hands. I honestly do not get it, there is easily enough place even on 13 incht laptops..

Another laptop with arrow keys so small they're unusable. No usable arrow keys means useless computer. What is wrong with laptop manufacturers making these broken keys standard? There's hardly any laptop left I could buy. A bit longer and I will have to drag an external keyboard everywhere just to use my laptop. Or just forgo laptop at all and start carrying some miny PC. It's insanity.
VlijmenFileer··on We Should Not Accept Scientific Results That Have Not Been Repeated
Like climate science, right? Let's set up a statistical meaningful set of equivalent earths, and start doing some serious peer review.
VlijmenFileer··on Google Play Store: Browsing with Firefox is no longer supported on Android
"For Google services you obviously use Chrome" What makes you say that? It is like saying that for going to work you need a red car, but for going to the shop you need a blue car. It's insanity. It is how internet and the web were supposed to not be. It is what shitty companies like Google try to push for the greater glory of their profit margins. It is /very/ bad for customers in the mid- to long term. It is what we should put serious effort into to kill off. For browsing, I use Firefox, and Firefox only. If it does not work in Firefox, it is /broken/ and I walk away within less than a second. I might return in a few months to see if the particular site has already been repaired.

And rightly so, because it was Google that fucked up by implementing crap only supported by their proprietary crap browser.
VlijmenFileer··on “Giganews is an FBI Operation”
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/refute To refute apparently can mean both /prove/ and just /say/ something is untrue. The way I know the word is in the sense of "proving", not just saying. I dare to say that is the way most people would use that word. Giganews only /says/ the allegations are untrue, it doesn't /prove/ that. To me it means poster is correct in stating their is no refuting of the claims, and I guess it's the same for most readers.
