@carnage4life Why would they not just design in a mobile view, then? If that was a requirement of the project that the exec failed to initially mention, this bandaid is a poor substitute.

@mentallyalex Are you doing the painting yourself?

If so, here's some advice from someone else who was inexperienced and easily overwhelmed:
Do many thin coats and take your time. That makes it easy to make it look good and even, and it makes it easy to cover up mistakes in subsequent layers.

Also, masking tape helps, but do not rely on it to save you from yourself.

@jann I mean, I get it. "Queer" is meant to be an umbrella term that doesn't require one to list off a dozen letters in the right order. In that regard, it's the best option I've heard so far.

@mcc @Migueldeicaza That may be their complaint now, but it's not the original complaint that spawned the lawsuit.

@LibrationPointThree Most SYG laws require imminent physical danger, so verbal threats don't qualify.

Think of it in old west cowboy terms. It's not legal self defense unless you wait for them to reach for their weapon before you draw.

@u0421793 Sure, and Elon Musk could make Twitter successful and profitable, lol.

@u0421793 @carnage4life As Dare has recently pointed out, they currently have the highest market share of any mobile device while having the highest price point.

They're not feeling vulnerable.

@u0421793 @carnage4life Apple controls the browser market on iOS with an iron fist as well. They can prevent that if they want.

My god, they get fast and loose with the science when the drama kicks into gear.

There were small issues throughout, but the S1 climax is just scientific nonsense.

@jeffjarvis Uh, yeah, actually; I agree with that one. A governor openly defying the federal government should be a bigger story than a defamation case.

@slightlyoff Except surely Apple would find that to be a violation of some sort and boot them off the App Store entirely.

@wizzwizz4 Well, both of those points are blatantly wrong.

(A) Games absolutely lose value over time. Especially multiplayer games, which become worthless when their audience moves on and the servers shut down.

(B) Games are plagiarized so often that there's a specific term coined for it: "asset flip".

But that's all besides the point, which is: Making the experience worse for legitimate customers in order to punish or deter illegitimate ones is bad business.

@jasonkoebler Video games tried that a while back with DRM to prevent pirates.

The lesson our industry learned was an important one: Don't punish legitimate customers because of the actions of vandals and thieves.
