Instructions says you can't do it on mobile. [link]

So it is Hotel California. Well then, add whoever's is responsible for that decision to the list of people I line up on the wall when the revolution comes.

This? This makes the kind of sense that Trump being president of anything other than the Hair Club for Men makes. If antivaxxers and Creationists and climate change deniers included this kind of shit as their proofs of why science isn't real, we would have nothing on them.

Can you do it through the website? Does the iPad allow you to view websites in desktop mode?

Cereal to say: if safari won't let you access the desktop version of Twitter.Com on your iPad, try installing Firefox. I've not used the iOS version but the Android version at least has consistently let me use the desktop version of sites from my phone.

So far the web browsers of Ecosia, LastPass, and Chrome will not allow me to view Twitter in desktop mode. I find myself unwilling to sign up for and/or download yet another thing to take care of problems with some other thing I signed up for. I flat out do not have any faith in that method. So far it only snowballs the problems. I do realize that at some point I will reach the critical mass of signing up for things, but I need some proof that that critical mass < all of the things that can be signed up for, eveywhere.

In case anyone else wants to know, here is the solution that Daniel found for me. Go to this website [link] click on the "direct removal link". You will get a "page not found" error. Using the thingy at the top of the Safari tool bar that is the square with the arrow pointing up, there is a "request desktop site". Click that while on the page not found, that should let you into where you can deactivate your account.

I was able to request (and get to) the desktop site in Chrome on my iPhone.

In terms of the cheap laptop - how about Linux? Linux should run as well on cheap hardware as on a chromebook. You are not limited to browser baeed software. And you can run Firefox for most browser based software. Not a rece by me but I wonder what the experts on this stuff think.

Linux can work pretty well. Chrome is also available for Linux and that lets you do stuff like stream Netflix and stuff (since it's not totally open source). Steam gives you access to games these days, and Libreoffice is finally pretty good.

When I replace my six year old laptop I intend to do so with an inexpensive Thinkpad from Lenovo's outlet website and replace the OS with Linux immediately.

amych suggested I move my Business question over here. (Cheers, amych)

Question of the day, for web types:

Is there a preference these days for joomla over wordpress?
