¿Han escuchado sobre música microtonal? Dicen que es una corriente que aún no ha sido del todo explorada pero que con el progreso de la tecnología estamos comenzando a experimentar y a entender en su espectro sonoro:

The tone-policing “just asking questions” BDFL is back and being as hostile to accessibility concerns as ever, trotting out the tired argument that art is the same as design.
I have a canned response for that absurd argument:

Mullenweg has always been dismissive of accessibility, even when he was still only a couple billion dollar company.

Estimadas gentes del fedi, como sé que por aquí hay gente que sabe algo de informática, os comparto la configuración que me estoy planteando comprar. La idea es tener un ordenador que me dure a largo plazo (téngase en cuenta que el que tengo tiene 13 años) que sea ágil, potente, y me permita hacer cosas de compilación y de IA local. Lo comento por aquí por si me podéis dar ideas o sustituciones de componentes, o consejos de por qué la idea de la que parto no es buena. Hace muchísimo que no monto una máquina y aunque me mantego actualizado en programación, de componentes estoy flojo.
Así que se admiten y agradecen sugerencias: pccomponentes.com/configurador…
Mmmmm, hay te tiro una. Yo como fuente de alimentación pondría algo más alta. Las graficas chupan un huevo.
Y para IA lamentablemente y a no ser que me corrija alguien las tarjetas AMD no tienen el mismo desarrollo que las NVIDIA.
Y eso es una pena por que la que pusiste si buscas un equivalente seguramente te suba otros mil pavos.
Y con esto no quiero decir que no haya cosas para AMD y IA.

Minulý rok zverejnil Google novinky o svojom novom kvantovon procesore Willow, schopnom vykonať nejaký nepraktický výpočet, ktorý nikto nevie overiť (lebo klasickému počítaču by trval 10 kvadriliónov rokov).
Priznám sa, že ma to nezaujalo a nič o tom neviem - takých vyhlásení už bolo veľa, aj keď v tomto prípade ľudia ktorým dôverujem (napr. Scot Aaronson) tvrdia, že je to naozaj pôsobivý výkon.

It’s been a long road, but now a first version (v0.3.5) of the plugin is available via the official plugin sources on WordPress.org.
wordpress.org/plugins/event-br…
Further features are almost ready and will follow in the coming days. This is includes some more complex features like aggregating events from other remote ActivityPub actors and improvements like better accessibility in the admin UI.
We are looking forward to feedback from users. You can find our guidelines for contributing here.
Unfortunately, interoperability with other applications is still limited, often caused by unresolved issues within other applications. However, we all are all working on it and are confident that things will be smoothed out in the course of this year!
This was a good reason for us to move the repository from our self-hosted Forgejo to Codeberg.org for several reasons:
We’d like to thank @NGIZero and @nlnet for allowing us to spend the considerable time we’ve put into developing this plugin.

Intel gave vendors example BootGuard keys and they were supposed to roll their own, but they used example keys from Intel to sign their images... so after the MSI hack you can *technically* use those leaked keys to sign your coreboot build on all affected systems.

6 years and no movement.
Mullenweg has never cared about accessibility. He has never cared about the disability community. Frankly, he’s never cared about the WordPress community other than its value as free labor and marketing.
