While my experience isn’t the same as this woman, I absolutely feel it. Everything is an uphill battle (and it’s worse if you’re multiply marginalized!) and every issue makes you feel like it is all your fault.
The tech industry has not made the kind of progress I had hoped when I started doing dei activism 15+ years ago. toot.cafe/@baldur/115570002490…
On the bright side, , if you are using WhatsApp on the web, you should be able to up/down arrow in your chat list now without this causing your chats to become read!
I wish more FOSS people would recognize that if multiple people are reporting a problem, that means that you have a problem, even if you don't understand the problem yourself, and even if the problem ends up being "just" a documentation or expectations problem.
Left the big pc running the native drive freebsd but from within Nixos since I was going to become a serial killer if I continued any longer dealing with setting up Bluetooth headphones, something that should be the simplest thing on earth in 2025 and finding no whcess and a thousand lines in multiple places none explaining what each thing does.
You need to do better regarding Bluetooth FreeBSD, A LOT better.
It's been around more than 25 years !!
Anyway moved onto accessing it via xrdp (KDE for that) so I can do other stuff on my laptop while vscode is compiled piece by piece for the next decade.
mine doesn't seem to support the Bluetooth chip I have (combined with my wifi) so idk. I also have lost a lot of faith in Bluetooth, it almost always sucks outside the Apple ecosystem
@feld I have zero Bluetooth issues with Nixos. Zero.
It just works
Every time.
I can either use blueman to connect and enjoy a beautiful simpleton GUI for when I feel blond-hair brained or use bluetoothctl which is pretty much what blued in FreeBSD aspires to be (same commands, really, same everything) and fails catastrophically with even describing how to compile itself.
And I certaintly don't need to be root to search bluetooth devices or connect. Let alone I could never fathom the idea of having to create a virtual sound device for it.

I can't help this. FreeBSD did the right thing when it came to audio, and Linux went a completely different direction. Same thing with networking which is why KDE on Linux has a really nice wired/wireless/VPN connection applet and on FreeBSD we get garbage.
It's not that it can't be done on FreeBSD, it's that all of these things are written to be Linux-only -- not even modular so they can work on multiple OSes. Annoying.
well all of that could probably be automated with a devd rule so as soon as the device is attached it Does The Right Thing
but someone needs to actually write these rules and test with a bunch of hardware, and then get those rules into base or into a port so someone can just "pkg install bluetooth-devd" or something...

Prompted by both a tragic study on personality phrenology I saw today and by my current book revisions, I have a question
Where have you seen "individual" explanations given for software development outcomes when the REAL driver was group work?
E.g., heroes get the credit when the thing was really a team effort? Or people thinking your best skill is coding fast alone when really it's about collaboration? Any stories like that would be welcome as I chew on this
I worked at a company that fired a bunch of recently-hired devs, saw productivity skyrocket, and proudly declared that “we work better with fewer people” etc. In reality, the fired devs had been cleaning up tech debt behind the scenes, so after they were gone tech debt levels skyrocketed and productivity eventually slowed back down to baseline.
I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.
Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation
Hledám právníka, právní radu, právní poradnu. Nějaké nápady, nebo někoho se zkušenostmi? Mám na mysli, že třeba doporučíte právníka s kterým máte pozitivní zkušenost. Mám toho k řešení víc.
(U nás na úřadě bezplatnou právní poradnu zrušili. Už je tam jen poradna ohledně sociálních problémů, a to mi nepomůže.)

Re: last boost (hachyderm.io/@jzb/115571712684…), about the voraciously greedy website scraping that LLM vendors do, maybe this will be the issue that gets me to give up all personal use of LLMs once and for all. I've said I would before, and I was too weak, and I gave in to the urge to use Claude again. Maybe this time.
Reading Fedora infrastructure update about yet more problems with AI scrapers. It's really disgusting the pain that these bots are inflicting on the rest of the Internet. I hope users of these tools are conscious of how the vendors are acquiring their data, and taking pains to avoid the vendors or projects that ignore robots.txt (and such) and go out of their way to avoid being blocked.
These parasites are *worse* than spammers; typically spam is a nuisance, but not something that causes so much damage. It is flat-out unethical what these companies are doing, and equally unethical to support them.

@hjzl16 furt tu mám pár zařízeni který umí jen 802.11n na 2.4Ghz. I pro netechnika je pak zřejmé, že k týhle síti se nechceš běžně připojovat pokud máš na výběr něco lepšího.
I won't say I told you so about putting Cloudflare on half of the internet being a horrible, horrible idea, but I actually did, so you can say it if you like. I hate how much stuff I can't read in edbrowse because of it, and the number of times my fully functional firefox browser has just failed the human verification. And, well, now it's like AWS all over again. Well done! Hope making it slightly harder for people to scrape stories from fanfiction.net was worth it.
One of the things our community has asked for the most is the ability to browse AppleVis in their own language. And we’re really excited to finally say—it’s here! AppleVis now has live translation, and we couldn’t be happier to open the doors a little wider for people around the world.
We hope this makes it easier for anyone who’s wanted to explore AppleVis in their native language to feel right at home.
Today’s the day! Help us spread the word, and here’s to making the world feel a bit smaller and more connected so everyone in the low-vision and blind community can enjoy AppleVis and learn from each other.
Dear AppleVis Community, Since our 2024 acquisition by Be My Eyes, making AppleVis available in more languages and to more people has been at the top of our wish list.

> The name Pakistan was coined by Choudhry Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan Movement activist, who in January 1933 first published it (originally as "Pakstan") in a pamphlet Now or Never, using it as an acronym.[21][22][23] Rahmat Ali explained: "It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands, Indian and Asian, Panjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan."
If you use an app that sends you push notifications, install the damn app, don't just rely on the browser and the web version. I know, dumb ugly Electron bloatware that adds itself to autostart, you should still do it. Speaking from painful personal experience here.

in reply to feld • • •@feld as I undersand it to run in FreeBSD you need hccontrol, hcsesc (no idea what this is for) and vissomething_oss to create a virtual device.
All i need in Nixos is
hardware.bluetooth.enable = true;
services.blueman.enable = true;
🤯
I'm not kidding, that's all it takes.
