EVs become more attractive when the renting class can own them—not just homeowners. Almost no rental housing option or even condos offer the facilities to charge.

Another tool to exploit the commons

Profanity & Dino are nice chat clients

I prefer Scour for SVGs, but as long as we can agree that svgo is trash, we can be friends.

This isn’t speaking, but writing (or typing). Using ‘correct’ spelling & grammar helps ESL speakers read the language as well as those relying on text translation software. Some folks make typos & it’s fine to make mistakes but it’s also strange to act like it’s just as easy to understand. Apostrophes have a specific meaning & many folks rely on them for understanding.

I’m learning a foreign language now & I can tell you it is a massive stumbling block when you run into what you think is a new word, but is ‘just’ a misspelling.

My issue with this account is not its corrections, but if you want to be the correction bot, at least get the typography right too. ' is as ASCII holdover & it should be ’.

A lot of services like PayPal will block known Google Voice numbers. Screw all these service for even asking. I can do 2FA without a phone so you must be trying to collect more data than you should.

Accessibility be damned

True. Something like XPath can really help & there are use cases where that is more concise but requires loading XPath into your head like Regex (which tends to get unloaded). The extensibility shines tho as seen by XMPP continuing to this day with very good backwards compatibility with 2 decades of updates since everything in an extension to the base.

This is why I don’t trust Rich Communication Services (RCS) being developed by the big tech giants. I can almost guarantee it’s meant to meet minimum legal requirements otherwise Google, Facebook, et al. would have reverted their services to XMPP federation on a protocol with now even more years of battle testing.

That’s still a lot of monthly money for a lot of folks which hurts accessibility for many, not all. The fact that we can’t agree on codecs throws yet another wrench in things as you need multiple resolutions & formats. I’m happy it exists tho & uses distributed serving.

Doesn’t support OMEMO for encryption, just OTR which is quite limiting given how most folks tend to chat on multiple devices now.
