Well, yes, but no. Hacker Community projects increasingly force political agendas on participants. It gets harder and harder to just do tech stuff without having to align with some cabal.

anti-capitalism, while a bit strange a lable, is something I can sympathize with. But once we are talking anarchism and (intersectional) feminism in a computing context, I am definitely out. I miss the time when computing was a lot less p

from permacomputing.net: ... an anti-capitalist political project. ... anarchism ... intersectional feminism ... No, thanks. I thought it was a tech project. Apparently not.

Replace foreigners with cis-men, and the situation stays the same. Radicalized people are the problem. Nationalist or trans, I dont care.

Democracy fans would say: "All you have to do is to thank them when the next vote comes up." P.S.: I can't even imagine how much of a distraction ads in public spaces must be. I am blind. While that is clearly a disability,

If thats true, I am sure some C-suite manager knows this already. Assuming management knows what they do, after all, they're getting payed for this. The time where engineer are trying to educate people above them should be over. Man

I disagree. Its a browser, damnit. Framing it as non-consentual AI is the right way. BTW, how much does Google pay you for this comment?

Given that some countries already move on legislation for government remote control of cars, I wonder how long this method will be actually legal.

Its small, but there remains the hope that progressive enshittification of cars might convince a few people not to own one. Cities with useful public transport infrastructure already see a trend of young people not owning a car, which is g

Its more or less the same with every screen reader and browser I know. If there was a simple fix for this inherent issue, I wouldn't have to talk about it. You might get a bit of stuff out of the way if you configure less verbosity o

Well, "better" is relative. Web UIs definitely have the advantage you are mentioning. However, they are also much slower to use, so it is a tradeoff. I am blind and do rely on accessiblity. But I would choose a TUI over a W

If you want to improve TUI accessibility, there is really one magic trick that gets you almost all the way there: https://blind.guru/blog/2021-06-25-brick.html TL;DR: Use the terminal cursor to indicate focus. Hide it

I hear CC users relying on Braille not being very happy with how CC renders, and uses the cursor... OTOH, I am also a Braille user and think codex works just fine. Maybe check the alternatives before declaring an accessibility crisis?

Matthew 7:3–5 I am not religious, but this quote keeps coming up... And people keep forgetting about it.

Right. I submit we are solving the wrong problem. Just establishing age vertification doesn't magically make these vast amounts of bad parents good parents. There is a ton of other things they can and will fail at, which their kids

So, why are those "real people" actually not willing to do their job? I am so pissed with parents who think the government is supposed to solve their own inability to raise a child.

If it were simple and easy to remember complex plaintext syntax, we'd all be using LaTeX to do things. Unfortuantely, thats not true. Personally, I even switch away from rst to md. Took me a while to realize, but md is easier to rem

Likely because you have no experience with needing accessibility nor the disabled community? There are two approaches, the first usually being followed by non-disabled people: 1. You can only be whole ifwe heal you 2. I am fine as long as

Hear hear, what does it tell you about my "options about others"? Mind you, I am a member of one of the groups I mentioned. So, go on, make a joke about vulnerability, you seem to be the right person for this.

I see the current situation as a plus. I get SOTA models for dumping prices. And once the public providers go up with their pricing, I will be able to switch to local AI because open models have improved so much.
