  • This may not be helpful to you in particular, but I wanted to throw this out there.

    I don’t like Auto Rotate because apps can undesirably rotate when the phone is in odd positions. However, I think it’s great for video apps, camera apps, and photo galleries.

    Auto Auto-Rotate fixes this. It’s free and open source. When you toggle the Auto Rotate setting on or off, you’re doing it for just the current app!

    So now I just rotate my phone the way I want and YouTube matches. No need to hit the full screen button.

    Also, if you don’t know, in the YouTube app you can swipe a video up to make it full screen without having to use the full screen button. Of course, it’ll rotate the “natural” way first, which is what’s annoying you. Just thought I’d mention it. I sometimes use that feature when my phone is flat on a table while I’m eating or something and I don’t want to pick it up to engage auto-rotate.

    To work best, Auto Auto-Rotate equires a persistent notification, but even with that off, it will work for a long time before you have to relaunch the app. Battery optimization for the app should be off, of course.






  • You gotta admit it’s confusing and abnormal to put a single “no” entry in the middle of a comma-delimited list of “yes” entries. Normally you’d say,

    It has this, that, and the other thing, and no bad things, malthings, or blahs.

    Sometimes the “and” and “or” are left out.

    It has this, that, the other thing, and no bad things, malthings, blahs.

    The original commenter took this format, and mixed it all up like

    It has this, no bad thing, other thing

    Is that no other thing or yes other thing? Who can tell? Only people who didn’t need to be told these things in the first place.



  • If you could hire an able bodied person for $16/hr, and they can glaze 100 pieces of pottery a day, or you could hire a disabled person for the same pay who can only glaze 25 a day because of their disability, who are you going to hire? I’m talking about a local small business pottery shop who hires people to glaze the pieces.

    If a lazy but able-bodied person took the job and refused to meet the 100 pieces a day quota, they’d be fired, and rightfully so. So why are disabled people special? Why do they deserve a pay rate and a quota that an able-bodied person would be fired for? Or maybe you think that firing a lazy person is calling them “less than” and is unethical. Well, at least you’d be consistent.

    If you think a small business could survive hiring people who can only produce 1/4 of the normal output at a full wage… I don’t know what to say. It’s just not feasible.

    I’m sorry for the harsh truth, but sometimes in some ways some disabled people are “less than”. As in sometimes they can only do less work per hour as an able bodied person. A small business can’t survive while being charitable to disabled workers.

    These disability wage laws exist so businesses can legally hire disabled people and pay them something when otherwise they would have no job at all. In my state, the business has to prove they can’t produce the same work in the same time as an able-bodied person. And their wage has to reflect whatever percentage of the work they can do.

    I’m 100% in favor of government subsidies for making up the wage difference for disabled people, and not making any benefits dependant on having such a job. The job would be purely a choice for disabled people.

    I know it sounds weird in this day and age to say this, but having a job can be very rewarding. I can totally imagine a disabled person preferring to work a job at low pay, having a routine, and interacting with coworkers rather than staying home all day doing hobbies and watching TV.
