The site says explicitly that they have screen-reader friendly options, but now i wonder how is this implemented to differenciate between the AI crawlers passing as screen readers and real screen readers

I was on Reddit for 17 years. I let way too many shitstorms and skeevy behavior by the company pass because hey, it’s Reddit, it’s essentially part of my life now, where else will i go? Then the APIcalypse happened and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, wiped out all my comments and left. I have found no real replacement of it (just bits and pieces that kinda do similar things together as an inadequate replacement) but still don’t regret it and despise the owners that ruined one of the best resources we had on the internet. May they fall into utter ruin.

Been reading <Restaurant to Another World> - Currently up to volume 4 of the 6 translated so far, apparently next year drops the next one

I did, not for the first time, but it did not work. It passed, despite a majority voting against it (314:276), because it was not an “absolute majority” (361 votes). What a farce.

What the fuck do we do now?

SailfishOS seems to be the best candidate at this time

Been using the secure knot for 2-3 decades by now

The other day i was thinking how back then, in police/detective stories, the idea of “the perfect crime” was a repeated one, through convoluted machinations the criminal in question managed to fully avoid getting caught and paying for his crimes. Then as the years passed i realized all they needed was to be rich, they get away daily with crimes much more severe than any stuff that would put us in prison for life. Yet again i remember Benedict on The Last Action hero going “Because in this world, the bad guys can win!” and he was right all along…

Oh yeah, he will get away with it, he very much shouldn’t and i dearly wish he didn’t, but he will, unless the world changes extremely drastically in a hurry he will…

Basically they’re sticking GenAI as deeply as they can into every recess of the OS, to everybody’s protest, which is actually driving a push for people to move away from Windows, they’re doing the best advertising for Linux we’ve got in ages

MUCH prefer AnySoftKeyboard as it has niceties like easy switching of language on the fly, arrow keys and other stuff like that, i just wish the autocomplete was not worse than not having any as it actually wastes your time showing you whatever incorrect and extremely unlikely suggestions it wants instead of something that actually follows what you’re writing

The point is that by fighting back they cannot get any more accurate than that, which helps, even if it’s incomplete and imperfect.

There’s also the spite angle, because fuck them, i am not gonna give them shit if i can help it!

Basically this. The project head might be a bit too paranoid, bellicose and problematic, but at this time a phone with GrapheneOS seems to be by far the safest way to have a smartphone, and the project head’s personality might be a part on this as their stated objective is to be able to resist state-level actors, you likely need someone who’s more than a bit “out there” to have the right mind for this

I have family that believes this and LIKE having ads, so yeah… 😓

The sad thing is that this is exactly how they think, have seen it myself, extremely “If you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality

I had never heard of Open Desk before, what do we know of this suite?

Looks like this works regardless of that

That has been the plan from the start

And the Internet Archive too

This was a meme going around earlier this month about AAA vs Indie gamedevs:
