Dear devs,
It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡
Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.
(I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)
Please boost for basic education.
@Dianepatterson Most people have ... weird ... conceptions of how quickly or slowly medical treatments have developed over the past century. (Or realize that as recently as 1900, about 20% of infants died before their fifth birthday of infectious diseases we developed vaccines to protect us against.)
re-post: The more I read this, the more I am impressed with this professor's approach to the question, "how should the lives of innocent people be weighed against important military objectives?"

@JorisMeys @TheConversationUS i think we should be able to return fire. damage my cardiopulmonary system? i should be allowed to damage yours.
same goes with smokers.
@TheConversationUS in all honesty, the amount of woodburning done in residential areas shows that reduction of air quality by gas stoves is not something people worry about. If they would, woodstoves would be illegal in residential areas. But here we are, coughing away due to the neighbours "cosy warmth".
@TheDefiant604 @TheConversationUS co2 isn’t poisonous. you probably mean CO, carbon monoxide.
