Apple rant: handheld computers edition 

Did you know Safari on iPhone won't load a page over HTTP if even 1 subdomain of that site is HTTPS?

It gets better!

1. Instead of showing a message, it loads a completely different page & shows that to the user, leaving the user baffled.

2. It hits all the proper URLs anyway, making a liar out of the user to the website operators.

I'd have blamed the user, too, if I didn't watch it live from both ends.

The moment we had to decide if a self driving car should prioritize running over one person versus another is when we should have gone back to trains

The Editor war is stupid. Edit your text files with the text editor that's right for *you,* and don't worry about the editor anyone else uses.

More importantly, Google is more uselessly irrelevant as a search engine with each passing day. It will never be as useful or relevant as it was 20 years ago.

Consider searching with alternatives, such as DuckDuckGo.com. It's also one of the defaults available in every browser but Edge.

Google: Welcome to the front lines of the Editor War, recruit!

DuckDuckGo: Here's a bunch of usefully relevant results, including in non-editor contexts. May you find the pages you meant to find.

PSA for my cis followers:

"Transwoman" and "Biological woman" are transphobe dog whistles. They're meant to try to indicate that trans women are not women.

Just remember: you don't say someone is a tallwoman or a blondewoman, she's a tall woman or a blonde woman.

And unless you're talking about a fembot, all women are biological women.

i keep hearing fantastic things about "mowing" from other cats, so i decided to give it a shot!!
