It’s amazing how many glitches people are able to spot. I don’t really have an eye for that level of detail but usually just get a vague unnaturallness

Generally “Reader Mode” is sufficient and I have my browser set to that by default. However sometimes sites are not functional in reader mode and those are usually the same ones that are most toxic.

It also drives home the point of how poor the internet is with accessibility. Imagine having to rely on reader mode to get through the toxic sludge that makes up most of the internet, but yet we have to rely on every day

Edit: yes, I was also using an adblocker but iPhone adblockers are limited and in this case useless

Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question

At least it’s retroactive (unless that changed too). You can decide to pay if you have a big enough medical issue

Maybe you can afford this in your personal projects but I have yet to work at a company willing to invest in that. Sure, a conscientious developer might clean up things they’re working on, but old code usually gets ignored until the pain of keeping it gets too great, until someone is forced to do something about it

A few years back at the height of driverless car mania, I was feeling cynical toward my fellow human beings ……

It’ll be a bonanza for the assholes of the world when we’re mostly self-driving vehicles. Imagine being able to cut anyone off in safety and with no consequences. Imagine driving as aggressively as you want as other cars get out of your way. Imagine being able to drive like in an action movie with the confidence that everyone will just get out of your way. Imagine that feeling of power and importance as you own the road , in your sad pathetic life

Gas pumps are something you’re doing “right now”, so you ought to remember. Vs a charging cable s something you plugged in last night and left that way. Much easier to forget.

You’re very unlikely to change drivers at a gas pump so you probably won’t forget. Vs a charging cable is something your spouse may or may not have plugged in last night, and they’re not necessarily there to remember.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a gas pump with trigger lock. You have to be actively involved with pumping gas, holding it the whole time, so unlikely to forget

Not at a stop light, nor as a way to immobilize you. While they can steal your catalytic converter surprisingly quickly, they’ll look for a minute or two of quiet time to slide under your car.
