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.

@Dianepatterson Most people have ... weird ... conceptions of how quickly or slowly medical treatments have developed over the past century.

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?"

@timnitGebru lol at thinking the military-industrial complex will divest itself of its military customers. tech isn’t distinct anymore. google and amazon and msft are the raytheon and boeing and lockheed of our time.

@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.
