A developer made whatever tech is currently pissing me off. I don't care about the supply chain.

Never has anything been blown out of proportion more than this Hot Coffee nothingburger. It astounds me that anyone took this seriously at the time.

>warnings in cigarettes packages

Oh how I miss those warnings. Nowadays the packages are covered in graphic body horror pictures. And there's no branding on them any more, just white text on a black background, so I have to carefully check that the illiterate teenagers at the store gives me the correct ones.

Do anyone else hear circus music?

But if you go too far in that direction, you end up at the Mozilla school of design. Alienating your core users, and designing a product for users that aren't there. Look at them now.

>My favorite watch (excuse me, "chronograph")

EXCUSE me... It's a time-piece!

>The charging port doesn't work half the time

Give it a blast with an air compressor.

This, but set it to disable all animations. It makes using the phone so much quicker, not having to pause for pointless animations.

>I bet Facebook would prefer to get rid of the website entirely

For some parts they did. I tried Facebook Dating, and it's only available on phones.

Also, to save you the trouble, don't use Facebook Dating. It is, to use a technical term, a fermented shitpile.

>!! you can do just as easily with up-arrow enter

  sudo !!

I haven't logged into LinkedIn in over a year. My contacts are only people I've worked with or good friends (or that cutie from logistics)... people I've physically met and respect. I'd like to keep up with what's going on in their professional lives. The problem is my feed is full of garbage that they have engaged with. I don't care about levels deeper than the first.

LinkedIn is unusable, and wasn't even helpful at all in finding a new job.

Only about a third of London population is White British.

Neither Norway, nor any other Scandinavian country is socialist. We're just taxed up the arse.

I'm not principally opposed to subscriptions, but subscribing to a camera app is absurd.

Your post prompted me to donate to KeepassXC, my subscriptionsless password manager, because I would be sad if that went away, and I would hate if the software landscape became even more a subscription hell than it already is.

Pedants corner:

>most apps appeal to a finite set of people

The set of people is finite.

Many such cases.

Denmark has no more room in its prisons. Opinions are shifting away from importing infinity third world migrants, and news media is now allowed to talk about it, but not enough to meaningfully shift votes in the last election, so it's going to be more of this for the forseeable future.

>In European and many other languages[...]

What? I was taught danish, english, german, french - never European.

>the best possible experience

It's comforting to know that a game I bought and paid for, that was taken from me, is "the best possible experience".

It soured me so much on Minecraft that I can't even be bothered to pirate it.

>invaded Venezuela

Didn't happen. An intervention happened. An invasion lasts more than two hours.

>features no one asked for

Google asked for them. That's all that matters.

>10+ years ago it was common to have your phone + postal address on whois

This is the .dk TLD today, and it's the reason I've never posted my website here. The .dk registry (punktum.dk) is run by absolute clowns.

On the other hand, the first thing I do before spending money on a danish website is "whois eksempel.dk", and if it doesn't return a danish address (and wasn't created recently), I'm out.

Prisoners are not slaves, because they are not the property of the prison or any other entity. It's called involuntary servitude. I'm sure the people affected do not care about the distinction, but words matter.

It's also trivially easy to not end up in involuntary servitude.

It doesn't. MCU is slop that caters to Redditor man-child Funko-Pop people. No one will remember it in 10 years, and I've never heard anyone reference it outside.

The EU and corrupt politicians (that's most of them), will do what they want, regardless of your opinions. I have completely given up on participating in democracy. My country is going to hell, and I don't believe anyone is able to stop it.

Are you suggesting that the right (excuse me, FAR right) have valid and meaningful criticisms of the current state of their nations? Sounds like russian bot speak to me. Please report for mandatory re-education.

>everyone stood by everything they said online with their real identity

And get Charlie Kirk'ed? No thanks. There are a lot of deranged and demented people out there, and publishing on the internet is rolling that dice billions of times, compared to shouting in the town square.

My government shouldn't decide what content I'm viewing or providing, and that's the end of it.

>muh kids

That's the parents problem, not mine.

Any system the government comes up with will be insecure, inconvenient, invasive and cost the taxpayers billions, and you all know it's true.

>All development updates, tech support, finding friends and all player and developer communication takes place on Discord.

Why can't it draw Elvis and Hitler?

What bizarro world HN are you reading? I'd like the link, please.

>Motion is critical for reorientation after transition.

The only case I can think of where this is true is on scroll, and that barely counts as animation. Anything else is an irritating waste of time.

The absolute worst offence is animating page content on scroll. Great job making me wait on pointless nonsense while scanning your website for the bit I'm looking for. People who do this should be sent to reeducation camps. Both for the animation, and for disregarding 'prefers-reduced-motion'.

>44.1/16 digital

This is already way beyond what vinyl is able to reproduce. The best case is roughly 12-bits PCM equivalent. Literally not an issue in the slightest.
