I feel like some people don’t fully appreciate the gravity of a situation where WaHo preemptively closes stores.

@vozercozer accessibility settings is inherently stupid, it denormalise certain needs/usage.

hiding settings that people that are having trouble using your device needs, to make it functional is also stupid.

Reviewers are being "meh" on Zen 5, but if you are a perf/SIMD junky this article does a great job discussing why Zen 5 is good and its going to take time for the perf benefits to show up in software. http://numberworld.org/blogs/2024_8_7_zen5_avx512_teardown/

Solidarity with the Russian civilians being bombed by the Russian government to protect the Putin regime from the consequences of a war of imperialist aggression he started.

I was enjoying my book and coffee when I felt the irrepressible need to pick up my phone.
Realizing I had nothing to look at on it, I'm just making this post instead

@gsuberland and subtitle everything, I hate when they don't subtitle the English in Korean drama. No I don't use subtitles because I don't understand Korean, I use them because I can't hear what the actors are saying.

once again pissed off at censoring / sanitising language in subtitles. it's infantilising. I use subtitles all the time because of tinnitus and auditory processing issues, and I'll be damned if I want a bunch of handwringing prudish cunts fucking about with the language. censor ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in accessibility tools. I promise we're grown up enough to handle some swears and sex words, for shit's sake.

@anthropy yeah, I am happy I live in Sweden where everyone* is guaranteed basic access to emergency care as well as some ongoing care.

@impactology a lot of people are terrified to be dependent on others and does everything they can to push people away, the thought of failure is terrifying. The last thing they want is to be embarrassed, that's a reminder that they are dependent on others.

Everything that you know about design and designing, every every method, principle, thumb rule, procedure, pattern, process, concept, technique that got codified into what you think of best practices was socially constructed. It was conceived and imagined by folks trying to experiment.

Don't mistake thinking that a certain way of designing is set in stone.

@phoronix @gpuopen "The code was released with AMD's approval through an email. AMD's legal department now says it's not legally binding, hence the rollback. [...] At this point, one more hostile corporation does not make much difference." does amd want to share their perspective?

@sr_ekot four mysterious death at one battery manufacture? Nothing to see here, move along.

Open-Source AMD GPU Implementation Of CUDA "ZLUDA" Has Been Taken Down

Back in February of this year you may recall the interesting news that was announced on Phoronix that AMD Quietly Funded A Drop-In CUDA Implementation Built On ROCm: It's Now Open-Source. That open-source ZLUDA code for AMD GPUs has been available since AMD quit funding the developer earlier this year. But now the code has been retracted. It's not from NVIDIA legal cha…

Sweeney's done a much better job with this then I have. I realized this year that Apple's been actively exploiting one of my personal traits - that I generally refuse to participate in pointless arguments & logical fallacies. So by default I ignore the noise, but because its Apple, leaving it unsupervised allows it devolve into Dante's Inferno.

@realn2s the failure to get the office of budget responsibility to sign of was the whole cause of the Liz Truss crisis.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @thebrand @justafrog I sometimes forget that my particular mix of neuro divergence, dyslexia, and upbringing leads to an often difficult to parse phraseology.
