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.

@downey I don't think the devs made this decision.

@Smokinjoe

'i just followed orders' isn't the nice excuse you expect it to be

@downey

@troglodyt @downey Are you seriously comparing an engineer listening to their manager to literal fucking genocide?

@Smokinjoe

no, but obviously you find the principle behind your suggestion quite distasteful in light of modern history

maybe remove the suggestion then

@downey

@troglodyt @Smokinjoe

Stop it. Both of you.

@downey @troglodyt I'd be more than happy to - not sure *where* that conversation was supposed to go.

@Smokinjoe

probably to you explaining whether you'd go nuremberg trials on facebook employees facilitating genocidal processes in myanmar

@troglodyt Very normal post you got there
