I suppose I could be convinced, but my gut reaction is this is a bad idea. Most people aren’t security oriented, and would put themselves at risk with poorly updated websites that are an attack vector for bad actors… There’s a lot more at stake in regards to what personal data lives on your phone… the richest concentration of your PII.

Also, my battery life is already precious. And what if you’re out of cell range or the network is overloaded? Your site just stops working?

This looks like a charcuterie, but it has only a few of what I’d consider traditional components. I hope you enjoyed this, but personally to me this is a “snack board”.

The cake is a lie

I’ll open a bug if other people can confirm they aren’t experiencing the same behavior.

I’ll open an enhancement if this is the stock behavior.

My wife brought me to a Mexican fast food spot from her childhood - they had “mexi-fries” on the menu, which were literally just tater tots.

This must have been over 10 years ago, but we still exclusively refer to tots as mexi-fries.

I guess this makes your meal a Mexi-poutine?

I agree it’s interesting - I tried digging into it this morning, and answers are all over the place. I think you’re right though, the specific word choice is what’s problematic.

I have used this phrase a lot, but in the last couple of years I’ve seen usage of this phrase by folks who aren’t Native Americans start to come under fire. I think it’s because it appropriates and makes light of Native American culture.

While I’m not trying to be the woke police, I understand that saying this is a bit of a buzzkill in a lighthearted and fun post. I’m not here to stop you, but to give you info so you can make your own decisions.
