  I'm not disabled, but the whole "people with disabilities don't know what they need" nonsense irritates me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People: provide a wealth of evidence, including dissertations from those with disabilities
  You: Nuh uh!

  Congrats.

  "And maybe if you are too disabled to safely drink from a mug, scalding hot beverages are not a great idea, anyway."

  You heard that in your head and went 'yup that's what I'm going to post today.'

  And you could have popped a few words into a search engine before you went straight to "I feel like." Many of your questions have already been answered; why not do thr homework first?

  Banking in general can suck, but the websites seem go work well enough. I do miss Android Auto but IVs gotten accustomed to it being gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What android phones do you recommend and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I'll second this. Graphene has it's quirks but I've not felt the need to switch back to stock since I loaded it all those months ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Play is beyond annoying⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The second word in your title is unnecessary.

  Having spent most of my Saturday on an endless series of calls to Google support for an issue with a Pixel, I agree entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Junior doctors in England launch fifth round of industrial action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Today I learned that your junior doctors make less than some fast food workers do in the United States. That's appalling. And my understanding is that post-clinical, they're still not paid particularly well?

  This chart is just appalling. Expecting 58+ hour work weeks for decent pay? Really? That's just asking for mistakes to be made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baby monitors and smart speakers enabling abuse, say MPs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  "While the government has made good progress on some forms of tech abuse through the Online Safety Bill, they must ensure tech companies address all the tools that perpetrators use, including smart home devices."

  So basically their solution to baby monitors and other IOT devices being vulnerable to exploit is to... pass bills that undermine the very principle of encryption? Sounds about right for the group of idiots in parliament.
