This exchange between some programmers and a non-programmer typifies what I was getting at in danluu.com/codenames/#appendix…
Programmer 1: GPT-4o and Claude Haiku are useless for programming
Programmer 2: Claude Sonnet is useless for programming
Non-programmer: What do you mean GPT-4o is useless? I don't know how to program and created an app that makes $10k/mo with GPT-4o
LLMs have allowed non-programmers to produce apps for years and programmers are calling these things useless for programming.

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis, der in diesen Tagen wohl besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdient.
Ich denke auch in Bezug auf #digitaleKirche. Oft habe ich von dort gehört, man müsse dahin wo die Menschen sind. Das ist ja auch nicht falsch. Aber sich von problematischen Systemen so abhängig zu machen, sich dem zu unterwerfen, fand ich schon immer fragwürdig. Viellleicht wären wir besser beraten gewesen, wenn wir mehr in Alternativen investiert hätten und jetzt umfassender sagen könnten, "Kommt und seht, hier sind faire soziale Medien, wir haben schon lange daran mitgearbeitet" ...
Insofern besonderen Dank an @librechurch@kirche.social fürs Betreiben einer #Mastondon Instanz und eines #Matrix Homeservers.

and I just made two packs of chicken flavored romin noodles and put three table spoons of this cheese in 15 ounces of water for the noodles, and one half pack of ritz crackers. a very quick taste tells me it has changed the flavor, so once it cools down for me, I will eat it, and see what I think.
¿Que cómo de malo es?
Mirad esto.
No es que #Meta permita ahora llamar a alguien "enfermo mental", no. Eso sigue estando prohibido, con una excepción: si eres LGTBQI, entonces sí te lo pueden llamar y no es causa de acción por parte de los moderadores.
Literalmente han añadido una excepción para poder volver a patologizar a las personas LGTBQI.

I often hear that #Mozilla got into trouble after they let Brendan Eich go, that that was the point where political voices overrode technical merit. In fact, these projects have a lot of momentum, these things take years to work out. It's actually the strategic leadership of Brendan Eich, who was CTO since 2005, that got Mozilla into trouble.
Today I came across a nice example of this from 2007.

Are you using chat over traditional email as provided by #DeltaChat / #DeltaLab / #ArcaneChat?
I like it uses traditional email infrastructure, is federated, supports end to end encryption, rich content including audio / voice messages. I have even recognized @adb has implemented screen reader accessibility specific features into the android app.
However I have quickly tried electron based app on linux with orca screen reader, exchanged a few messages back and fort between two of my personal accounts using the DeltaChat app and thunderbird and I haven't found the user experience verry appealing. I can't understand how to effectivelly navigate in the list of conversations and list of messages.
Therefore I would be interested to hear a few comments from people knowing this platform better. How accessible is it on different platforms?
On the desktop is the electron based app a prefered choice?
Also some other questions. For the best experience, do I need a new email address or can I use my existing self-hosted one I have already configured in thunderbird?
Ffeel free to point me to a FAQ, some up to date introductory documentation if you think my questions don't make much sense please.

@WofWca Looking more it looks to me you are working on some amazing accessibility related improvements. While I was testing a few weeks ago I had issues navigating the lists. hmm, perhaps I need to figure out how to build with this PR and see for my-self if it might be related. github.com/deltachat/deltachat…
Edit: oh, there are more PRs resolving keyboard navigation and accessibility related issues. It's really right about perfect time I have discovered this thing.
Thanks and keep up the great work please
Thanks! But we're still far from done.

Both lists, list of conversations and list of messages are now keyboard navigable.
The hint for the screen reader users is that not all of the screen readers may switch into focus mode automatically so once you do this manually you can enjoy the user experience the way it has been designed.
Also there are nice keyboard shortcuts e.g. ctrl+n for jumping into the input box, ctrl+k for search and more.
Now I do really need to explore more i.e. what about the encryption. Can I use my existing GPG key or add a subkey or is that handled transparently on the background? I need to figure out if I should create new email for chatting or use my primary email.
Still from the accessibility point of view we are really getting something usefull I think.
Read the #deltachat help at delta.chat/en/help it's all perfectly explained there in easy to follow language. It's even translated to various different languages already.
The number one answer for me is that there are #deltachat specific so called #chatmail servers suitable for anonymous instant messaging over email.
So eventhough I like to self host my emails, I think I'll go with existing #chatmail server at least initially.

There is one import difference you need to know:
* Chatmail account: you can reach all delta chat users
* Regular email account: you can reach delta chat users + classic email users
So if you use chatmail, you can not reach people who are not using delta chat.
another point:
If you do NOT use chatmail, you will not have push notifications if you are an iOS user.
It is possible for #chatmail users to communicate with classic email users who have published their public key.
You just have to do manual chatmail registration, save your login details and private key securely, and use it with something that supports #pgp like #Thunderbird or #Mailvelope.
Very nice, glad to hear a confirmation that it's working from a real user!
We might need to investigate automatic focus mode switching.
Mit meinem neuen Startup KC Test Ventures teste ich für den Staat, wie man mit minimalem Aufwand Informationen zugänglich machen kann.
Hab in der letzten Stunde eine iOS-App gebaut, mit der man für jede beliebige NINA-Warnmeldung rausfinden kann, ob man sich im Warngebiet befindet.
Damit man sich als Blinde selbst helfen kann, wenn Gemeinden wie die Stadt Dresden nur ein PNG-Bild ohne Textalternative zu Evakuierungsbereichen rausgeben.
Hello folks I need your help, after a lot of efforts, I am on the final steps of making #ArcaneChat available in #GooglePlay
now they ask to create a "closed testing release" where only some invited testers via their google account email address can participate and install the app before they allow a public release
please write to me in private sending me your google account's email address (gmail I guess) to join as beta-tester, thanks a lot in advance! ♥️🙏
