smileyhead , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender
  1. Group A is far more likely to be abused.
  2. We develop a tool to prevent abuse.
  3. We deny the tool to group B that sometimes needs it, because group A needs it more.

I’m not denying 1., stop assuming I do with cheap arguments like “How many times have you been abused?”. Yes, woman are more likely to be sexual victims.

But my question is why doing 3.? For Lyft it costs basically the same if not less when allowing the feature generally to everyone.

    You explained that woman are in higher risk. But you did not explain why because woman are in higher risk we should only protect them and not everyone, even if protecting everyone would be less costly.

    Creating UI to select driver’s sex is easier than verifing your sex and then if you’re woman showing an option. This is active work hours to disallow man from a protection.

    We all know that people hating other people are the problem. Thanks for a reminder.

    Higher risk for woman of being abused does not mean that for man of being abused is 0.

    I don’t understand why if something bad is more propably to happed to woman we make special exception in the rules just to exclude man of this protection.

    As a player, no. And I don’t recommend doing anything, this is developer tool among them.

    You can donate to Godot I guess? But of course you are not the one using it.

    smileyhead , to technology in Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)

    Good to mention is that Matrix just got a director that is independent from Element.

    smileyhead , to android in WhatsApp will soon be your one-stop solution for all your chat apps

    RCS needs phone operators, it does not have any publicly available server or client implementation and is already obsolete by other Internet based protocols. And noone uses it besides Google that has bad reputation for keeping chat apps alive.

    It doesn’t matter if some part of system is open source. What matters is that there is some nonlibre part.

    The point is that people can switch their apps one by one, not losing any contacts in the way, instead of trying to convience all your friends to install new app at once.

    But you still need an account and the bridge does not use official API.

    Unless if Facebook continue being Facebook and start developing their own incompatible “standard”.

    To convert yourself out of WhatsApp, then your friend, then your other friend. Instead od doing it all at once.

    smileyhead , to programmerhumor in My poor RAM...

    Inspect any major website, you’ll see boilerplate of <div><div><div><div> and unreadable pile of JavaScript programs your browser need to run to build the website. Sites should be done in a way that is still readable after you disable one element (for example disable CSS function, scripts or HTML specific tag).

    Internet is modular, based on stacked protocols. Want to fit Tor between TCP and HTTP? No problem. Web is also like that, build of semi-independent formats, in theory. But in practice devs are using frameworks that assume Chrome, Firefox and Safari are and would ever be the only things existing. Now if you want to develop new browser you not only need to display HTML and add other things later. You need to get all specifications of all standards working right away or sites would spectacularly break.</div></div></div></div>
