god, Matt Mullenweg is such a fucking scumbag. https://www.therepository.email/matt-mullenweg-orders-accessibility-revert-tells-core-committer-to-contribute-your-talents-to-another-project

This hurts, because, it's true: "Silicon Valley will spend millions developing a glove that translates sign language into speech (badly), but they won't spend ten minutes adding Alt-Text to their images. They will build a headset that describes the room to me (poorly), but they won't use semantic HTML headings so I can actually navigate a webpage."

Stop trying to upgrade disabled people's body when the problem is your design!
@WeirdWriter argues that the tech industry needs to stop trying to sell useless expensive gadgets no disabled person wants, or can afford, and start fixing actual accessibility barriers, like bad code, and poorly designed infrastructures.

I positioned myself carefully to get this horny elk pic, and waited until he lifted his head to smell the female's butt. It's like Pinocchio but for horny.

No thanks I have my own 5 hour energy

In physics, curved spacetime is the mathematical model in which, with Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity naturally arises, as opposed to being described as a fundamental force in Newton's static Euclidean reference frame. Objects move along geodesics—curved paths determined by the local geometry of spacetime—rather than being influenced directly by distant bodies.

@davidgerard @nina_kali_nina minute of silence for the divas who formatted their entire hard drives and switched the OS of their actual workstations on a whim

I'm more upset than I've been in a while.

Windows 11 sets the default documents folder to onedrive\documents. Anything that gets saved there gets backed up to one drive. This includes various save games, all my Reaper stuff, and various other odds and ends that I like to, you know, save.

To save disc space, OneDrive also defaults to files being online-only. They're not stored on your device, they're just listed there. So despite what they call it, this is in fact not a backup at all, because it doesn't create an extra copy. It is actually just transferring your most precious, irreplacible, personal files to Microsoft in the background, and trusting that nothing will happen. You can see where this is going, but just to underline the point with a bleeding fucking dagger, I did not ask for any of this, I just clicked save like I have done for the last twenty or so years of my life using Windows.

Since I don't care about and have never intentionally used onedrive, I signed out of it. Flash forward six months, the files that I thought were on my computer (because I can go see them there in the folder) are in fact gone from my hard drive, and also Onedrive nuked them from orbit.

Years of my life, gone without a trace. Thanks so much, Microsoft. Whoever came up with all those ideas probably got massive performance bonuses, because we're in the worst timeline.

Goodnight.

i don’t know what DNS is (do NOT explain it to me) but the way people talk about it i imagine it as a little humanoid creature thing named dennis whose job it is to absorb blame for everything

realising also that as a professional and recreational computer toucher another one of my issues against gen/agentic AI is that it's a tool to make people touch the computer _less_. why would you want that? either touch the computer or don't, stop getting something else to do it for you and saying it's the best thing in the world

so how long til torvalds posts his claude prompt in a fit of rage and we find out his big brain move was the text “do not hallucinate. do not write code with race conditions. you fucking idiot.”

@Viss

Yup 🙄 AI agents aren’t ‘going rogue.’ Frontier labs are skipping security basics.

Happy Pie A Homophobe In The Face Day to all who celebrate! 🥳💁🏻‍♀️🥧

🐭the year is 2035. nobody understands how computers work anymore because they're all vibe coded. nobody except the freakiest trans women the world has ever known. they speak in strange, cryptic ways that chatgpt can't process without crashing. they will not help you now
