@Scott Chrome, in this case. Down arrow isn't announcing when you autofill an edit field. We had a smoke test specifically to catch this type of regression which we used to run every release. Standards, clearly, have slipped. Alas, many such cases.

The FCC is trying to suppress TV interviews with political candidates it doesn't like, starting with The View. This is part of the greatest jawboning effort in American history. It is wildly unconstitutional, as @TechFreedom's comments explain techfreedom.org/fcc-should-g...

I’m escaping my phone by spending time on my iPad. That is what this beta has done to my user experience preferences. I started making my phone my media device and my iPad my productivity device instead of the other way around. Which I mean, iPad doing productivity makes more sense, but it took broken BSI to get my head to go in that direction. So, what does that say about me? Don’t answer that… unless you want to.

The mass shooter who murdered 23 people at an El Paso Walmart in 2019 was sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms. He was motivated by neo-nazi beliefs and primarily targeted Latinos.

@sarajw Or if you want something, you know, not from the 1980s, there's a whole lot of people (and some of them are on feddy!) who kept making free ones after Infocom went bust, many of them are fantastic. I could literally list good text adventures all day, and now I gotta be careful in case some of them are reading this thread ;) there is the XYZZY awards to recognize outstanding IF and a competition every year. You can just play the winners from those for days and never get a bad experience. Just, again, maybe not one you're into.
