  • Yeah if where’s the thrill if you’re just gonna be notified of nukes & nados like a wuss

    Also personally, prefer a 0.00% chance of finding a wandering elderly person or abducted kid to 0.00001%

    (If either feature were frequently abused that would change my calculus, or maybe if I had severe anxiety(?) or a critical sleep schedule or something)

    Edit: I mean this more lightheartedly than it sounds





  • I’ve never like actually voted before but Taylor wouldn’t talk about it if it weren’t important

    Then they do their research (well they did, they read her post) and tap her story to get registered. She follows it up with another post around Election Day and they go vote.

    (No offense Swifties, just using one example. We can’t all be highly politically active, high-information citizens. Those who are will have gaps elsewhere in their lives instead.)




  • I recently looked into this after it seemed like Facebook messed with my back button on a private mobile window:

    Someone pointed out that it’s nice to have, for example, your email provider know that you probably want to go back for a message to your inbox instead of going back to the previous page.

    But what if browsers monitored which sites abused the feature and showed a pop-up when you click the back button, just like they offer to show you notifications? They could show you:

    This site has been reported to hijack the back button. Would you like to go back to the last domain that you visited?

    and offer to remember the setting.

    Somewhere in the distance they could hear Peeves zooming through the corridors singing a victory song of his own composition:

    We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the One,

    And Voldy’s gone mouldy, so now let’s have fun!

    ‘Really gives a feeling for the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn’t it?’ said Ron, pushing open a door to let Harry and Hermione through.
