In Safari’s “reader mode” so many websites are confusing, esp newspapers, magazines & journals

Disable reader mode & see the problem: headings, blockquotes & image captions styled visually only, without basic semantic markup

wtf webdevs?

Essential #accessibility STARTS w #SemanticMarkup that designates what’s a heading, what’s a block quote, what’s an image caption…

Semantic #HTML is not new. Even #HTML5 is 16 YEARS old! Use the tools handed to you

/me stops shaking fist, gets off soapbox

So, summary:

* There was no need to explain a well known MSVC runtime function that is 14 assembly instructions long and only calls a single function.
* The model wrote a 72 lines bullshit explanation for a 14 assembly lines long function.
* The model hallucinated a different function and explained what it hallucinated.
* Someone just polluted IDA's Lumina Server with bullshit AI shit.

I have just discovered that a function's comment added to a MSVC well known runtime function added by IDA's Lumina Server was generated using an AI tool for IDA.

Please don't. I fucking hate it.

BTW: The code for the function that the LLM model is trying to explain *is hallucinated* and does not even correspond to the real function.

Your automated transcription software should retain swearing. Don't enforce American Puritanism, thanks.

This guy was a key figure responsible for making Linux work with Broadcom and Realtek wireless chips. He was quietly a giant in FOSS, because he brought together some of the most important missing links to a working Linux machine.

Hello everyone!

We have some unfortunate news. @fastmail has made the decision to lay off 60% of our bargaining unit, including our bargaining committee, in a surprise restructure while we were in the middle of contract negotiations. Fortunately, we were able to negotiate for a much better severance package than we would have gotten had we not unionized when we did. We are grateful for the work that the Communication Workers of America put in on our behalf to get us the best deal they could.

Here's some of the #art I've been doing on some recent weekday morning art streams (just to make sure that some of the content from the old account makes it over).

TLDR; EPA discovered that Apple was:
- illegally treating hazardous waste
- illegally transporting hazardous waste to disposal facilities
- illegally dumping hazardous waste into the ambient air outside the facility (into the apartment windows)
- leaving stockpiles of extremely dangerous chemicals unattended on weekends

The inspection was supposed to be unannounced so EPA surprises the inspected party who has no chance to cover up issues before EPA gets inside. However city HazMat tipped off Apple & EPA was greeted by Apple's EH&S team. Note: what EPA found was AFTER Apple had time to clean up.

After discovering what Apple did, I then spent three months requesting records & digging through regulatory filings to learn more - which led me to file a complaint to US EPA in June 2023. I met with EPA's investigators & sent them everything I discovered.

I told EPA I didn't want my whistleblowing to be anonymous, and instead, that if EPA shows up to inspect the plant, when they do, please have the EPA cops tell Apple: "Ashley says hi." 💀

US EPA Enforcement & Compliance conducted 3 onsite inspections of Apple's fab facility in 8/2023 + 1/2024. US EPA noted at least *19* potential violations of the RCRA hazardous waste statute.

I just posted US EPA's report for public access. Dropbox link: dropbox.com/scl/fo/312oqvretg7

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️
