What is "processed foods"? Isn't bread a heavily processed food? Is somehow making it at home magically healthier than it being made in a factory? What about whole wheat bread from a factory vs white bread at home? Which one is healthier?

Or are you trying to say that bread is somehow unhealthy? Even though it is staple eaten by literally everyone across the world in someway, shape or form.

Terms like this destroy the credibility of "food research" and I find it hard to trust any dietary guidance. Specially after the whole fat & sugar debacle

Stop Scanning Me 4 years ago

The age verification maybe a good idea if it is used to create a segregated place for kids. But instead of having filters & being able to scan messages, I think it'd be better to not have private messaging on those platforms. This will allow other users to report suspicious behavior.

USB-C is a mess. Sometimes everything works as intended, but most of the time it doesn’t. Sometimes power wont work, sometimes its the display, other times the USB.

Only after replugging a few times will it work.

Not to mention the security issues of ThunderClap

I will cancel my sub and shift to KeePass before installing an Electron Version of 1Password

Not only is Electron heavy, but also inherits all the security vulnerabilities of Chromium.

This is compounded further by the fact that Electron uses its own bundled version of Chromium and so needs to be separately updated, before the app is compiled by the devs.

So many app developers are not even aware of this and so will not bother updating the SDK.

In-App browsers have always been a security nightmare. Similar issues exist with Electron apps as well.

But developers continue to use them as HTML + CSS + JS is the easiest way to develop a graphical dynamic UI, for a newbie. Many schools & colleges even teach basic HTML, CSS & JS, so the barrier to entry is very low.

I am not sure what a good solution here would be, but maybe we could start by limiting access. Or another way could be to have some way to convert the rendered UI to compiled binary code

PHP has its uses. Want a simple web app. Great.

But speed is inversely proportional to the linecount.

At some point it is better to use a compiled language like Go.

The issue with Google is SEO optimized spam sites beat out real content. Until we get rid of web advertising, it'll continue to be this way.

Spam site operators have a huge incentive to get users to click on their links & provide them with ad-revenue

For Google, they could make things so much better by down-ranking sites that show ads
