@lidsel @datenwolf @mathieui @GossiTheDog That's whack. IMO 32GB is decadent. Consumers are getting by with like 16
@datenwolf @mathieui @GossiTheDog I've been slowly cutting down my compute for similar reasons. It makes IDEs and fancy code completion tools almost impossible

I've been preaching this for years. Developers should be forced to work and test their software on Celeron, 256MiB RAM, 256MiB swap, 5400 RPM spinning rust 120GB HDDs.
I'm okay with compilation to happen on a beefy iron.
But the actual user experience should be the absolute minimum.
Our healthcare system is so fucked. Over six hours in the waiting room innurgent care and we were in line before they even opened. 🫠
I need a more powerful battery 😭
@mathieui @GossiTheDog I'm a firm believer that developers should be forced to use shitty machines on shitty internet connections so they can actually feel the pain they inflict on others.
@tiefling @VulpineDruid I love when I'm not somebody's "primary" partner because it's easier to just focus on the fun part of our relationship that way.

Interesting catch by @zackwhittaker - although we don't know the number of people impacted by the Adform breach has they haven't commented, Adform say they serve 1.5 billion adverts a day, and the breach lasted at least 5 days.
Pretty compelling reason to use an adblocker.
My cyberdeck makes it so easy to commune with my codebase from anywhere. Just sitting under a tree and debugging while I wait for my partner's appointment.
On the web, the less you do the easier it is to keep your site acessible. It's the fancy custom buttons and dynamic content that gets yah.

I'm tired, and I don’t want to do free accessibility consulting for this website owner, so I'll outline only one way this won’t work for screen reader users out of many.
Aside from the fact an LLM made the website, and the font as well, the reason it doesn’t work for screen reader users because, even on that demo page, a timer has to be activated. A button must be pushed. A timer activates, and a screen reader user must find the fixed bit of text again. The website makes it sound as if it should be just automatically accessible/visible to the screen reader, and that fails.
Aside from the screen reader issues, that's not the only one, but I don’t want to do free accessibility consulting for this website, some of the other issues include but are not limited to…
It doesn’t prevent scraping.
It doesn’t prevent taking a snapshot and then doing OCR on that screenshot.
It breaks custom fonts anybody has disabled or enabled.
It breaks copy and paste.
It breaks for people without JavaScript enabled.
It breaks for anybody using a good ad blocker.
It prevents search from working on the website.
And many, many, more things that are in my replies.
If you want to learn about me and my screen reader, my FAQ page is below the website I'm talking about.
If you use this font to protect your text from AI, it also blocks *me, a human* because I use a screen reader. I did try the demo. If you want me to remove your RSS feed, this is the best font to prevent blind people from reading your blog/words. That timer is an inaccessible solution and that isn't it's only screen reader failure. https://shieldfont.org/#hero

I know I've said several times that I don't want to make more social accounts but if MySpace comes back I will 1,000% re-learn HTML and spend all my time over there filling out surveys and changing my profile song every hour.
Still pretty happy with what we did here for #p2p #ActivityPub https://distributed.press/2023/12/05/announcing-distributed-press-social-inbox-1-0/
That brain feeling when you figure out a race condition that requires weird IPC timing issues that are hard to track down in tests. 🤤
@lvk If we can have backtics or triple quotation marks for multi line string parsing, it should have been just as easy to extend the single line strings to support multi line parsing. 🤷
Also these environments usually have multi line comments too? Bah humbug
It's weird that so many languages don't support wrapping text strings over multiple lines by default and use special syntax instead.
@futureisfoss Mostly folks I know in meatspace I guess? The online spaces I talk about slop dev in, they either hate it too hard or love it too hard.
Love how the term "slop dev" and "slopping code together" is spreading in my circles 😈
