Can you actually understand mumble rappers?

Seriously though I find these accessibility discussions very informative and they make me think about how I develop things and share information. Thank you for sharing.

That just ends up being a tax on blue collars and shift workers.

The wealthy all seem to understand that class solidarity is more important than any other issue. Why is it taking so long for everyone else to figure that out?

No sadly, in Canada actually. You really wouldn’t like how low IT pay is here.

It took me 3 years and over 700 applications to get two interviews and one underpaid job, which I took because it beat working for minimum wage and getting no experience. I worked that for 3 years and then they ran out of work for me. I was not able to leverage that experience into a new programming job despite my efforts and have since moved onto administration.

Yeah now I understand why so many admins hate “developers”: they’re actually real fucking ignorant about so many things, especially licensing. I’ve had to do battle with Oracle twice because our people don’t understand the difference between personal use and commercial use.

Google searches have become increasingly worthless over time. I find it depressingly difficult to find things now.

Considering grabbing a sub on one of the paid search engines like Kagi: the search actually works.

100% this would be my reasoning. I love Python for prototyping and personal stuff, but on an enterprise team? There is a reason Java has survived this long.

I really don’t get the use of AI to replace creative roles. At worst I’ve used it as a sort of “lorem ipsum” generator but for various placeholders. I think AI’s true value is in understanding the sometimes overwhelming amount of documents, records, datasets and databases that organizations can amass. Being able to have an AI help sift through the garbage is real helpful actually.

I’ve seen governments using it to do things like handle access-to-information type requests or help patent examiners find relevant patents: those uses make a lot of sense.

lol your admin is a dumbass I wager

Fuck no. A beginner learning base concepts like arrays, conditionals, loops, variables, functions, etc. should use something much less punishing like Python. It’s much easier to iterate, to understand your mistakes, and to learn from others when you use a simpler language.

When you’re ready to learn about pointers, memory management, etc. then you can take on Rust.

I hate so much that this is true. How did we manage to go so far backwards despite an army of UX designers? Oh wait…

But seriously it’s all this bullshit driven by engagement and weird metrics no one likes. For some reason even our ticketing system at work is built like it’s supposed to hold my attention rather than be a purpose-built tool for making my job easier.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Wife, is in fact, GNU/Wife, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wife.

how could a Marxist ever get confused by China’s imperialist and state capitalist tendencies? You must be a lib.

lol

I don’t think revolution is the answer to solving problems

It’s easy to say that when you’re not living out of a shelter while working full-time.

There is so much theft of cars happening because car manufacturers did fucking nothing to improve security. Now a guy with a laptop, and antenna, and radio software can clone your car keys and all they have to do is hang around enough to capture a few of the rolling code changes. They can do it from outside your house and through some obstructions too.

So yeah a Faraday cage of some sort for your car keys is just a good idea now. Guess that makes us all criminals.

Glad to see this here. In many jurisdictions, if the law doesn’t say it previous rulings do: you must invoke the rights to silence and to counsel.

It sucks but plenty of judges want to give the police every chance they can get, like those dickheads who OK’d forcing people to unlock their phones because “you already gave police your fingerprint”.

Who phoned in the tip? Was it “anonymous”? How long did it take police to get there?

Trump, for all his flaws, isn’t bankrupting and killing people (at least not directly). Also he’s kind of dumb and I think people see that.

No I’m saying the entire premise is bullshit. You’re talking about a conversation that isn’t even taking place and I’m saying the ADL is trying to convince you it is because it benefits them if you believe it.

What are you even talking about?
