Nice strawman, bro. I never said a damn thing about screen readers or translators, good or bad. And yes, I’ve read and filled out the entire survey. It doesn’t become a good survey just because it’s biased towards your personal views.

What did he do this time?

Nice assumption, dingus. I filled out the survey (it’s a terribly written survey) and sent it in before even writing that comment.

My question is, who asked?

I have many opinions about machine learning and its current position in technology, but expressed none of it in the comment. In case you missed it, the point I was trying to make is that this is a bullshit survey with obviously loaded questions and foregone conclusions, uninterested in gathering impartial feedback or addressing concerns.

“We’ve decided to focus our efforts on AI and advertising. Please tell us why you think that’s a good idea!”

Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

It wins by default but only because I never liked the Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky-like infinitely scrolling threads and only use Discord to follow some artists.

Damn, someone should’ve told Dr. Frasier that it’s just a weapon of terror…

Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it’s damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can’t reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.

If touchpad gestures work, I’m putting that on my macbook air. That looks so comfortable.

Linus Torvalds and Kent Overstreet (the main developer of bcachefs) often argued on the Linux mailing list over adherence to long-standing practices when submitting pull requests. In the latest confrontation, Kent dropped this absolute clown shoes response:

If you’re so convinced you know best, I invite you to start writing your own filesystem. Go for it.

Narrated by Aussie Waylandman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07XjCGQpwpw&t=869s. I recommend watching the entire video, it’s very entertaining.

I think you and the bcachefs owner would be very good friends.

The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

Oh, fuck off! I can barely use Blender because dragging a spinner control does something with the cursor that makes Hyprland shit its pants. It’s been fixed and broken several times. May or may not be related: Vaxry has expressed his disdain for Blender in issue notes. (edit) found it: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3270

(edit2) I should also mention that Hyprland is the only compositor where this happens. KDE Plasma, Qtile-wayland, Sway, Wayfire are all fine.

Dude’s shilling for his own compositor backend right after ditching wlroots. He has zero credibility in this matter.

I’d be very concerned about the state and safety of those rails.

By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.

“Some people deserve to be punished.” - Amos Burton (actor Wes Chatham), The Expanse season 2, in reference to an opportunist who had been enriching himself during a humanitarian crisis; comparing him to pimps that force kids and vulnerable people into prostitution.

The virgin .NET:

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
