wellthisishn··on Follow the Data, They Said, and Then Hid It
The CDC is absolutely a joke -- a joke that is not funny at all
wellthisishn··on Follow the Data, They Said, and Then Hid It
What exactly do you see that is false or unrighteous in your "quick skim"?
wellthisishn··on Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)
Try Tom Select: https://tom-select.js.org/examples/

Any initial impressions on that one?

wellthisishn··on Most Canadians believe Facebook harms their mental health
We could start by calling it what it is -- antisocial. Spending time on media content aggregators is an antisocial activity. Not that spending some time on an antisocial activity is inherently bad... studying and research are also antisocial activities. But let's not call something "social" when it is the antithesis of anything that could be considered as such. I think this could be a decent start!
wellthisishn··on Whistleblower to Congress: Facebook products harm kids and democracy
And the harm they've done has long ago crept outside of their own platform, to where some other companies mistakenly think this behavior is okay.

It has made my life worse. And I know of people who agree.. Maybe you don't use it? It's highly political, divisiveness is obvious. Maybe you simply don't use or analyze it, so obvious things about it aren't obvious to you

Maybe it's overall good, maybe it's over the top and not super. Even if it is good, the existence of Facebook presents a block for better and healthier ways developing for them to connect.

How much do they need to elaborate?
wellthisishn··on Why Firefox has been in decline for 12 years
Totally agree. It's not intrusive, gives lots of options organized well, it's fast... great browser. I assume it's still safer than Chrome as well, seems like the best option for now
wellthisishn··on Why Firefox has been in decline for 12 years
I think the UI on FF mobile is more than fine.. what did you not like about it?
wellthisishn··on Why Firefox has been in decline for 12 years
But reviews about missing feature, or reviews in general... that might not give you a good idea of why people are using it, if they don't leave a review at all
wellthisishn··on Clarifications regarding arrest of climate activist
This seems like a scapegoat argument
wellthisishn··on Canistilluse.com
I dunno, why did the OP cite this?
wellthisishn··on Canistilluse.com
The link titled "Deprecate alert(), confirm(), prompt()"?

I don't think this analyst is aware that DDG already has a lot of Google influence and isn't for sale right now...

wellthisishn··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Actually I'd have to say a good marketing department. I think it was part of a long-term plan to be relevant to broad audiences, and come out through the woodwork already strong.
wellthisishn··on Facebook Is Helping Militias Spread Vaccine Disinformation
> From the people who want to control public discourse

So, Facebook?

wellthisishn··on What domain name to use for your home network
They don't give a reason. I don't believe the author. I think it will not only technically work fine, but it's a good idea and better than using what the author suggests.
wellthisishn··on Facebook is now claiming official CDC.gov links are “False Information”
If your profile is set to private, then what's the difference?
wellthisishn··on Amazon has ruined search and Google is in on it
Didn't this concept ruin the internet a long time ago? Like think about the web before AdSense?

Why 5 seconds?
wellthisishn··on Police can access Ring footage without a warrant
Well, there are cameras with on-premises storage rather than FAANG-based storage...
wellthisishn··on Why didn't suicides rise during Covid?
Right. I think the article in the OP is based on questionable data
wellthisishn··on Why didn't suicides rise during Covid?
The article also isn't considering that a number of suicides would have been reported as Covid deaths
wellthisishn··on A police dog who cried drugs at every traffic stop
I don't know why it's not considered animal abuse. They say that 40% of them are domestic abusers, but really 100% of K9 units are animal abusers. They are taking advantage of puppies and having them do things that a dog shouldn't naturally tend towards when interacting with human beings.
wellthisishn··on A police dog who cried drugs at every traffic stop
This is so true. In the grand scheme, there are never any bigger slimebags to walk through the courts' doors than those who work there.
