Only in the very short term. In mid-to-long term it increases the incentive to actually roll out a fix sooner then later.

No, thanks. I've seen Black Hawk Down... Too many cowboys in that area.

Whenever I think about the good old DOS days, QEMM and DESQview come to mind. Esp. DESQview which was a rather essential part of my DOS experience... Sources for these would be fun to look at.

So, like every goverment, then. "The government always enjoyed some support among people who benefit from it, which is why they make this sort of populist move in the first place." Yes, checks out.

Don't get me even started on TalkBack and Android. It was never on-par with VoiceOver, and is still a few years behind... However, VoiceOver is also getting slowly, but surely, worse and worse over time when it comes to small subtle

You already said it. "practically identical" is not the same as identical, which alrady explains the (butterfly?) differences. Miniscule differences actually add up...

I often notice that reading a book will sometimes change my active vocabulary in subtle ways. Influx of NIH-thoughts is very very valuable.

When I participated in a medical experiment utilizing FRMI around 2002, I was told that "At 11 Tesla, a mouse starts cooking." I wonder, have I been lied to, or has anything else changed such that human brains can now be scanned

Its not about missing out. When all your coworkers switch to the new shiny thing which is not accessible, the reality of the situation is that you are now no longer a useful coworker, at least when it comes to that particular activity. Tr

I am guessing you are not familiar with the AI-powered vision features that already ship since a few years. Mostly accessibility related, so I am not surprised you missed it.

People with your attitude are a reason why the number of blind devs is low and will get even lower in the future.

Speaking from experience, the argument is everything else but flawed. Because the reality is, new tech gets rolled out, and then there is the expectation that alternatives should be implemented for people with handicaps. However, that s

Your blind coworker will love the sudden destruction of accessibility. Without the 3d code review, he might have been a constructive team member. With the new tech, you can send him home and let him think about the fact that he is now use

I find the "fitness first" approach when talking about the Apple Watch a bit strange. Fitness seems like a cult for some. for me, it was the complete opposite: I love the Watch as a companion for my Phone, and as a speakerphone.

Like, systematic lack of resilience.

IIRC, free will is pretty much a myth, and beliefs are not relevant when it comes to science...

Its not the same, and I never claimed it is. However, in both cases, parents seem to think its not a big deal, and its "commonly done" in a whole country, whatever that is worth. Which is my point. Just because something is

"Everybody is a unique snowflake" attitude is causing way more problems then we publically admit. Setting boundaries is important. As is seeing the consequences of your own actions. I was held back in school for a year. Lookin

You deliberately threw your son into the water to see what happens because a random woman told you so? Schocking. Did you ever consider how that experiment would feel to your kid?

I guess you're right, negating an inequality is likely the same as affirming an equality? I am not a native speaker.

"destroy the planet" is pretty much an exaggregation which demonstrates nicely that you seem to be alarmist. No point in having a discussion then.

FOSS != piracy And, frankly, I find it pretty upsetting that you seem to negate that equation.

I would agree with your take if we had a solution for the "who watches the watchers" problem. Since we don't, blanket criticism of critical thinking doesn't go down with me since I watched the pandemic unfold. Our stat
