I use computers every day and, personally, I wish there were wayyyy fewer of them.

The issue with modern engineering, technology, and infrastructure is that we have taken all of our hardware problems and turned them into software problems. They are, as a rule, easier to deploy, but much harder to maintain and repair.

In a reasonable system it should not be possible, to hack a gas pump, or for there to be a need to update your refrigerator's firmware, or for an important component to be decommissioned overnight because a tiny startup on the other end of the world went belly up.

The value of physical hardware is that it can be directly inspected and manipulated in a way that software can't. It's harder for hardware to lie or cheat or hide anything whereas secrecy is a norm in software. The material of software is capable of misleading and confusing it's operators in a way physical objects struggle to do without a gimmick of some sort.

Hardware can be coerced to continue running indefinitely whereas old software needs the equivalent of a specially crafted, hermetically sealed life support system to outlive its usefulness for even a few years.

I'm reminded of when so much of the tools and infrastructure in our lives was stupid, direct, gravity fed, lever operated, simple machines that did one thing and did it well.

Now stuff breaks because a wildly abstracted system of captured photons that we tricked into doing math decided that just one out of those gajillions of uncountable particles was in the wrong place.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy software. It's never been easier to just make a tool to solve hyper specific problems. I guess the issue is that software-centric solutions have just bled into so many applications to the point that it is wildly inappropriate and just plain annoying.

If you work in, or need, #accessibility you'll be intimately familiar with this frankly embarrassing situation. If you're a #developer, let this be your trigger to educate yourself on the doubtless extensive docs your UI toolkit of choice (yes, that includes #react and #html) maintains on accessibility so you don't have to send that response and make a human being feel like they don't belong to society, because there's a non-zero chance that's EXACTLY how someone might read such a dismissal. I woke up to three such emails today and I think I'm done with advocacy today before even starting my day. Shit's depressing as all fuck. How's your day? :)


Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

Portfolio: micr0.dev

Boosts appreciated!

#android #developer #reminder

You don't need to download the #android #sdk #binaries from #google .

You can compile the #sdk by yourself from the source code to write #android #apps.

Check this repository at #codeberg , it will do the job for you.

All you need are the scripts from this #repo , 32 GB #ram , approx. 300 GB free disk space and some patience.

Then, you can start coding for #android without the proprietary #sdk binaries from #google!

If you're an #iOS #developer, love #opensource, and have a certain passion for email, you should definitely keep an eye on the #Thunderbird careers page!

thunderbird.net/careers/

Within the next few months, we'll be hiring someone to help us lay the groundwork for Thunderbird on iOS. When that career opportunity goes live, we will announce it here.

(So yes, we can 100% confirm we plan to develop an iOS version)
