  • Also I’m not saying that’s a good thing. It’s just an inevitable thing.

    Then why respond when I was mentioning its usefulness and that the blind community was not heard by the tech bros.

  • Because good alt text needs to be highly context dependant, so you can't automate it. The better alternatives we have right now are crowd-sourced alt text sites, where volunteers may generate descriptions.

    Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality
  • but I also believe that dynamic, untyped languages have proven exceptionally useful for rapid prototyping and iteration.

    Going from nvidia to amd
  • Also Nvidia is still better for general computing (e.g. openCL). That may change when rustiCL finally catches up, but AMD implementation of openCL always gives problems.

    The Phoronix forms, where AMD and NVIDIA engineers can effectively communicate
  • Although, screen sharing has been solved a while ago. Any application that doesn't work is because the developers are shit (I am looking into you, zoom and you half-assed implementation using an screenshot-API-based gnome-only implementation).

  • It is solid until you need to use openCL (hopefully this changes when RustiCL beats the closed AMD drivers)

    zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user?
  • you can always run scripts with the shell they were written for (and you can even argue that people writing scripts should always set the shebang)
