Fallout 3 has that great bit in the vault tec exhibit with scruffy bloodstained walls and flickering lights. Great environmental story telling. You expect an ambush to occur but it never does.

but they could have just as easily put the logo and the user's name on the right and the chip on the left

Most people read left-to-right and expect text to start in the top left. It would look absurd if the name was on the right.

Extensions written for one should work in the other as well after some minor repackaging.

The population density argument really doesn't hold up.

Australia has a lower density and much much better plans.

SK, 6th in population density within Canada has the best rates because they have a crown-owned telecom provider SaskTel

I also started seeing much slower performance in Google Maps and street view in the last few weeks.

This was a good product by Google, and I really wished it was available as a web app to make trip planning easier, but i don't see why we can't have both a web version as well as an offline app.

I tried it and thought the big benefit was supposed to be that it was offline - so you can use it without expensive roaming data, or while on a plane, in a tunnel etc.

I wish Google would give their employees the option to create spin-off startups of products they kill or killed.

I wouldn't mind if it was a Progressive Web App that caches the data.

Doesn't this also lock in users to Apple? Will I still be able to use these apps on other devices?

If Apple discloses the generated email id. But the given examples seem very tedious to type.

> What are your thoughts about accounts such as u/mvea consistently hitting the front page on a daily basis, often with links that were posted by other accounts earlier but only gained traction when posted by this account?

Not the guy you replied to but here's my take on this. Users like gallowboob and mvea have been known to post and repost the same content multiple times. If it doesn't get traction within the first few minutes, they delete that and try again. On some other subreddits like EvilBuildings, the mods frequently prune the subreddit's front page which lets posts with a lower number of upvotes hit /r/all more easily. This kind of manipulation was also being done by some other subreddits which led the admins to step in and stop them from showing up on the front page

It's this; I'm guilty of doing it, and I believe there is a comment from /u/GallowBoob of him admitting it, but I can't find it. Sometimes a post just doesn't take off simply by bad luck, and it's easier to try again rather than to comb for new content.

There are browser extensions like Stylus which allow you to force dark mode on websites
