Yes, yes. Reinvent language and everything will be fine. Just as the woirld is now so much better before “political correctness”. Idiot.

It’s not that it’s not profitable for them.

“Install” includes installing from an app store no matter how closed down and exlusive. The correct term would be “install from other sources than an app store” which is just clunky. Calling it “sideloading” won’t change that nor will calling it “your mom”. Considering how many corporate-speak terms are in use and how many braindead abbreviations and terms shortened to a word’s last syllable -completely distorting the original meaning- generally are in use, the term “sideloading” is pretty irrelevant. Either lose your mind listening to the bullshit people permanently are emitting or just live with it…

Did you mean “web site”? Because, according to Cory Doktorov an app is just a website wrapped into enough IP to make it a felony blocking ads in it.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 days ago:
I’d be sexist if I said it was women’s nature and blah whatever. I’m sure it’s more or less a social matter, nevermind that as far as I know it applies to pretty much any known culture, ancient or actual. The reason might be that humans are not so different actually, no matter what your fucking leaders might tell you. And you, Mr “pickup artist” might notice that I did not refer to the sort of occasion you’re talking about. The situation the OP describes is obviously not an invitation to a menage a trois.

As a guy, lyou’d be a total idiot to agree. Single guy on a date with two girls is definitely going to make a fool out of himself and have a terrible evening. Call me sexist, blame social whatnotever for it but it’s as sure as the night is dark. These two have known each other and longer than you so you’re the outsider and there’s that unspoken, inevirtable rivality between you and her best friend. No fucking change. BTW, I’d wonder what people might say if gender roles were reversed here. Lol… “I gotta bring my buddy. For safety.”

Needs Frankenstein switches, huge insulators and ball capacitors for more realism. I’m coninced that electricity causes autism, too.

Because you didn’t have to look up in the printed documentation to find some useless explanation of everything except your actual problem.

- Comment on YSK that cholesterol is only found in significant quantities in animal products. 1 month ago:
Food is highly overrated anyway. It’s highly unhealthy, expensive, carbon-wasting and is the main reason for obesity.
- Comment on need help on old CRT tv 1 month ago:
Unlikely. The interference from the electric motor just worked because analog TVs used to recieve a (weak) analog signal via antenna. That doesn’t apply to the HDMI/RF connector. I suspect the CRT might not be able to deal with the HDMI converter’s line frequency. Also., I don’t know if the CRT has a separate composite input - if you go in via the antenna input be sure to set the converter to RF, not to composite output if possible. Composite and RF signal are not the same.

Human created, yes. Sadly often enough not by the same humans who took the money.

Could be worse. Imagine the same slop in a more baroque style…

TBF, if they had an idea about design, specifically about typo and logos they’d not be clients. Idiots… that’s a different topic, but let’s agree that some types with a strictly technical or -worse- strictly economical background have quite bizarre ideas in the visual field. It really get annoying if they’re perfectly sure they know better than you.

- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 3 months ago:
Yes. I think we’re missing each other pinpointing details while meaning the same. Every browser has it’s defaut or “standard” style, nowadays even adapting to the system theme and trying to guess if to use day or night settings etc. Nevertheless it won’t break lines in a reasonable way, won’t deal with footnotes in an acceptable way and either break the layout of pure text pages or the layout of illustrated pages. HTML5 makes these specific things somewhat better as it allows realtively advanced document structure but nevertheless, a few lines of CSS to reflect at least the prinipial character of the document are unlikely to hurt anyone in a worse way than a one-style-fits-all layout for everything will hurt tha vast majority.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 3 months ago:
That’s not even convincing pedantery. Nobody would assune that a browser’s standard style might be an RFC, IETF- or in any way official standard,

I don’t think. You can’t prove I do! Leave me alone. You’re one of them! I knew it all the time.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 3 months ago:
Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like “Phyänomenologie des Geistes” by Hegel. I wouldn’t have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 3 months ago:
Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 3 months ago:
CSS on the other hand is quite essential to separate layout from content. Which is a good thing, so I can’t really think of a reason for a “no-CSS” rule. Specifically if you can use inline styles as well but in a way more messy way.
- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 3 months ago:
As a design engineer you don’t have CAD software that can predict shading? It’s a pretty trivial function, acrtually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.

Don’t trust ars one inch as soon as they’re getting political. They’re highly manipulative.

Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they’re even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they’re massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners’ interests are involved. I’ve kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I’ll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I’m suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.
