I wonder whether nore stringent pedestrian safety compliance requirements may have come into play. When I first saw that thing, that was the first thought that popped into my head.

"Web 3.0" and "always" doesn't seem to align by any stretch.

I am getting the same on GrapheneOS on a P10.

I fully expected disabling them in the phone settings and rebooting would have fixed it, but no?

Don't really wanna reinstall FF and lose all my configruation.

A better comparison to software bugs is, say, early fatigue cracking in a structure that requires retrofits to fix.

Regardless, the simple fact is that software just matters less in almost every case, so no one gets held accountable. It lets the culture of unaccountability breed within IT / software eng, and here we are.

That doesn't equate. Something can have no value as news but incredible value as security. Your passwords, for example.

The big question is whether Snowden's original thesis - that these newsagencies would find the right balance - was correct. In some ways, I hope there is a complete leak of the archive in decades' time when the relative risk is minimised so that the public can, in turn, evaluate the press of the day as to their ability to do this assessment. It may inform future similar whistleblowers whether Snowden made the right choice.

Can confirm that I am not Shaq, but the 4S was the last phone I could use entirely one-handed (i.e. my thumb had full reach of the screen whilst my pinkie finger sat under the bottom of the phone, cradling it), and the 13 mini was the last functional size where I could reach at least part of the top of the screen with my thumb.

All this so people can watch The Odyssey as Nolan intended whilst on the go.

More seriously though, now do just the front screen on a non-folding device. It can even remain as thick as this thing when it's folded.

Echoing this. I would have to go out of my way to find one that does not work simply by double-clicking the steam entry. This is on Arch

Text messages in iMessage or SMS are a fairly US-centric relic. That's not to say overseas is better - Europe depends on Whatsapp - but outside the US the whole 'blue box' thing isn't even a thing.
