Your “today” does a lot of work. Many frustrated people are comparing 2020s Apple with 2010 Apple, thus the complaints.

Alan Dye really did a number on that company and set back UI design by one or two decades, favoring graphic design over human interface design.

> Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding.

To spell it out: the study’s point (sorry, “Conclusions and Relevance”) is to explain away the very data GP cites?

Thickness, and also cost.

(I was replying to a child comment on fear of deep waters, seemingly deleted?)

I’ve heard this sentiment before, and can sort of intellectually follow, but man. I love scuba diving, I love the ocean and its varied and alien and multi-scale inhabitants. I’ve spent weeks on a live-aboard boat explicitly to seek out megafauna like sharks and rays (same subclass as sharks).

When I start my descent, I love to turn around and see my exhaled air bubble up, up towards the sun rays in the top layer of the water that slowly fade further away as the pressure on my ears builds and I enter the unknown ocean. It’s the most relaxing feeling, and I often remember it to go to sleep.

How beautifully individual our preferences can be. :-)

And what else did Apple do? Build two “Pro” phones with even bigger batteries for these folks. Come on, let a thousand flowers bloom!

(Yeah that phrase has unfortunate Mao-era baggage, but personally I really just want the mini series back—which many also consider to have too little battery capacity—so I feel encouraged by Apple broadening the iPhone lineup.)

I’m not disagreeing, but the magical difference to me seems that Apple _users themselves_ decided ahead of time to trust Apple, whereas _the developer_ would make the decision to trust a third party? (My more jaded view is that such arguments are merely rationalizations, and that in 90% of these cases it’s mostly about which stack the people building an app have previous experience with… even though they explicitly claim the decision was made on technical grounds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

“On the Fairphone 6, the battery is firmly screwed in. With the predecessors, it could simply be removed.”

Still awkward to turn that into the headline when it’s such a minor part of the review. The article was “translated with technical assistance and editorially reviewed”, but it’s just as off in the original. Maybe headline chosen by an editor, not the author?

Hm, I’m not sure from your comment if you’ve seen this: if you scroll down on an app’s App Store page, there’s an “Information” section with an “In-App Purchases” subsection that you can expand to see all In-App purchase names and their associated prices.

Are you also on a mini? ;-) Just because I really like bivector.net, despite its questionable web design choices: zooming out one level should make it so the animated “join our discord” no longer causes reflows. This should be fixed, but as a workaround until then for those of us on slimmer viewports…
