That's pretty much bang on.

You learn pretty fast that you're an idiot and yes, you can write something, read it back many times, and still be wrong.

Really? Thermometer temperature, not windchill? Interesting. They’re only marketed as working down to that cold (with some variation) according to everything I've read. I’d be worried about damage any lower.

Let's not go there, on second thought.

As with most brain questions, nobody knows exactly.

One theory for the purpose of it, is to prevent us from confusing things we dreamed about with things that actually happened.

Edit: Lol, this always gets downvoted, but it's the truth. We know nothing about the brain; almost all the studies that get reported on are basically this.

Follow up question, would it ideally work like the old Java Applets then, where you have to explicitly ask to launch a web app?

or a web app, but instead should be a plain ol’ webpage

I did not know about that distinction.

Hmm, so are there actual inadequacies in the browser-rendered standards that lead people to do this? I'd buy that it's purely webpage sponsors wanting to be an all-powerful decider that controls what everyone sees and possibly thinks, but on the other hand I don't know enough about browser rendering and page design to be sure. All my webpages are pretty spartan and scream "backend guy".

It'd sure be nice if we could go back to circa-2012 with no popups or stupid bloat.

Yeah, but I don't want to have an app on my phone for a store I go to once. I don't give a fuck if the page is ugly.

No, holding it would be fine in some situations. It's probably resting on a chair arm or something while my head is on the seat.

Yeah, I actually miss this sometimes, when I'm lounging in some weird position. The question is how much the keyboard would suck.

I have not. I just thought it looks less goofy than a nested SQL statement split over multiple lines.

What are the issues with XML?

Provincial governments are elected. I'm not sure that's a distinction that exists.

To be clear, I would certainly like to see better resources. Actually, I spent the morning on advocacy for it. I also would like MAID to be an option, even if it's down to societal failures; if we've inflicted so much pain on someone they would rather die, stopping them just seems like an added layer of cruelty. I don't buy that social support is more than an excuse for the anti-MAID people.

As far as I can tell, the doctrine of the trinity served political rather than logical purposes back when it was put in writing in late antiquity, and since then it's just been the doctrine. If you want to believe, you just have to believe and not think about it too hard, like the video says.

“Or does it mean that you’re suffering now, and you live in a rural community, Indigenous population, and you can’t get access to care, and society is not willing to provide you access to care?”

And what are your plans to expand care massively to these people? Crickets. Really, they just don't want to be made to feel guilty about those people existing.

Yes, it's been established that you can still use JavaScript, and it will only backfire sometimes, even though it's a bad language. And yet, people try to use it where it's not even required.

Assuming it's built well. As someone else pointed out, it doesn't look quite right here.

I like the format, though.

Unsafe... for our margins!

It is, though. The US isn't the only place, nor is the Middle East. "African farmer can send kids to high school for first time" isn't a splashy headline but it happens a lot.

I'd add the caveat that a lot of the common options are even worse. There's at least encryption most of the time, in standard app operation.

Via Element or Signal would be the best answer (or was last I checked), if there's was anybody else on there.

I'm biased, but Alberta is still reasonably cosmopolitan, at least. It's also not as cheap as we thought apparently, because of the other costs of living.

I don't know about Manitoba, but I would have to be truly damn broke to consider Saskatchewan.
