‘And so I thought… why not dedicate two years of my life to researching accessibility overlays?’ — @dnikub joined #a11yTO, one or her research results being that overlays are, in their current form, disability dongles.

There are days like today when I think back to a world without AI everywhere, and realizing that the world we had before it is one we are moving farther and farther away from. Of course the benefits of the tech especially in our disability spaces is not to be underestimated, and I'm not denouncing that potential, but it's a feeling similar to how we now feel for the "old internet" and the new one after social media. Eventually that world will get more and more unrecognizable.

I agree. I’m not really a fan of this new world, because the humans in it are going to misuse AI and attempt to replace humans with it. We are as a human race inherently irresponsible and while I love the advantages we have as a result of AI as people with disabilities there are more cons than pros.

Klar bringt es nix den Mann ewig wegzusperren. Aber das ist zu wenig. Und nur 2 Monate Fahrverbot? #natenom war immer gut sichtbar. Und dann darf der Mann in 2 Monaten den nächsten totrasen?
Das ist nicht in Ordnung.

Über Höhe des Strafbefehls und Dauer des Fahrverbots kann man trefflich streiten.
2 Dinge stören mich aber viel mehr: #Natenom war auf mehrere 100m ÜBERdeutlich zu erkennen. Selbst bei Tempo 90, dh am oberen Ende der Spanne, für mind 4s. Das war also kein Augenblicksversagen. Trotzdem keine MPU.
Außerdem formuliert die StA es so, dass Natenom nur vorschriftsgemäß beleuchtet und bekleidet gewesen sei, nicht, dass er mehr trug als er hätte müssen.

I've just tagged the 2.0.0 release of #fwupd: github.com/fwupd/fwupd/release…

There are a lot of big changes, and we've been working on them for quite a long time. If you're interested in what we've done, I've written a longer blog here: blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2024/1… -- there's a ton of new hardware supported. Enjoy!

As physicist John Holdren, former US Science Advisor, once said about climate change, “We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be.”

oooh will your talk on CVEMITRECVSSNVDCNAOSS be posted anywhere? Would love to hear the perspective from the OSS maintainer side of that ecosystem.

i'm taking a course in Shopify Academy and just red this... curious what your thoughts are: Consumers expect fast delivery options. Retailers will need to offer same-day or next-day delivery to meet these expectations and stay competitive. Providing flexible delivery options, such as scheduled delivery times and easy return processes, will also enhance the customer experience and encourage purchases.
Does delivery time play into you chosing to order a product?

Not so much of if I’ll buy the thing, but where I’ll buy it from.

There's a question in r/blind: "Should I switch to a MacBook after ten years on Windows?" No. No you should not. The poster is doing coding, and I can't imagine trying to learn to code while also dealing with how badly VoiceOver does in Safari. I haven't tried VSCode on macOS much, but I doubt it would be anywhere near as seamless as it is on Windows.

Carbon capture and storage will play absolutely no role in "the energy transition" as there's no evidence it can be scaled up in any meaningful way that even lowers emissions, and isn't creating energy either.

CCS is simply just a scam that's been designed by and for the fossil fuel industry so they can keep burning and profiting - and make you suffer for it.

#FossilFuels #Labour #EdMiliband #ClimateChange #ukpol

From Ed Miliband on Twitter, with a video of a BBC Breakfast interview:"Carbon capture and storage will play a critical role in the energy transition, helping our industries to face the future. We are determined to make the UK a global leader in this new technology. For good jobs, energy security and climate action."

My former employer invited him to talk at a company event back in 2009 or so, and while I listened to him talk, I had an unsteady feeling about him and his attitudes. I had a feeling this guy could be a toxic personality easily. I hate to be proven correct. And I am glad I didn't accept a job offer at that place a few years back. A friend had encouraged me to apply, but I felt this wasn't right for me. Well, I got burnt out anyway, and am now retired and no longer need to worry about anything job-related any more, but I am certainly glad I avoided that particular pitfall.

Mozilla latest move make it hard to say "use Firefox as it is not developed by an ad company"

The argument that Google money doesn't influence Firefox development, but the means, is no longer relevant.

Congratulation to Mozilla for choosing a strategy that alienate the last bit of demographic that support them.

If you're sick of the "Log in with Google" pop-up (I am) and use UBlock Origin on Firefox, you can nuke it by adding this to your filters:

accounts.google.com/gsi/*

At least, it's worked so far.
