In Hell they actually give you a laptop but it has 1990 era internet speeds.
If it's got 90s era content (GeoCities, ICQ, IRC, Usenet), then that's heaven. Such a hopeful time. @lowqualityfacts

@juergen_hubert I don't think this is true. Yes, the decreased price of green energy and it's increased deployment is great, but the only regions that have decreased fossil fuel use have in part done so by outsourcing much production to other regions, like China, where fossil fuel use is still growing, along with green energy. Unless we can convince people to reduce and shift consumption, fossil fuels will stay a part of the energy mix. Perhaps it will start dropping in absolute numbers in five-ten years, though I wouldn't even bet on that, but it will need to drop substantially before we even move out of the "CO2 is still increasing" range. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AGlobal_annual_CO2_emissions_by_world_region_since_1750.svg
That graph ends just at the point when China's CO2 emissions started to flatline.
I set up a pretty sick VDO.ninja scene, and then started getting nervous about relying on a hosted web service that could theoretically disappear at any time. And then I remembered it’s open source—but it’s even better than I realized!
Because VDO.ninja is designed around client-side peer-to-peer connections, you can just host it from a static web server! 🤯 That means fork, enable GitHub Pages or your equivalent code forge feature, and you have yourself a full instance.
Lmao okay. Well the Claude/Claude Code "sandbox" does not prevent any DNS resolution either, soooo

Storm coming in, tho it looks like its going around us. We're in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and storms moving NE often look like they're gonna get us, but then push up against the mountains, going a little north, and only crossing at the nearest pass, to the north of us.
Caretaking Molly, who *hates* thunder, and I also don't like lightning, either, has made me something of an expert watcher of our local weather.
@GeePawHill DC's heat island is blocking the storms for me; been watching crud go right around me all night. Occasional thunder, but no rain.

@catsalad Correct
@gedankenstuecke It's not _completely_ impossible to have the situation he describes, to have a very diverse group of co-authors and not be an expert in the part another co-author wrote (or, indeed, not even speak the language), _but_ it is on one hand also not that common to not even be able to check what the other authors wrote and it is on the other hand very telling that he is okay being on a paper where he does not trust his coauthors enough to take responsibility for it.
@HeptaSean I mean, I understand all that. But one could still check if the citations exist at least? And then totally agree with the trust part. Already before you were always "on the hook" as a co-responsible person if you're a co-author! If you want the credit for a paper you also have to be okay with being accountable for the faults for it. But apparently this level of responsibility seems unacceptable for some professors…
@ivy_gay literally RTed that post like five times and laughed out loud to myself in bed last night thinking about it

@oxy basically what I enjoy doing (and my team enjoys doing) is nullified by AI so all that's left is the crap we don't want to do
@decryption @oxy If the management want a dogshit product then they have a psychosis.

I'm worried about search. Especially in education.
Google is the only search engine we're approved to use at school.
So if it's no longer a search engine, then we just can't search? We have to prompt AI? Buy an encyclopedia set? Idk man
@SaraSoueidan @christianoliff I can assure you that everyone who worked on MWG, within and outside Google, sees a11y as a big priority. And as @castastrophe said, all were fairly compensated. I suggested opening issues because it’s early and there are oversights, not because anyone expects to develop the bulk of the content this way.
PS: Google is among the few browser vendors that DO compensate web platform folks fairly instead of expecting free labor, so that’s quite unfair.
@leaverou @christianoliff @castastrophe My statement is also based on past experiences with features made by Google, and that we (community) discussed within the last year.
Documentation/Best practices are good but how do they translate into implementation? has user testing been done by people with disabilities for a project at this scale and impact? I haven't dug in yet (again, no time capacity especially in the midst of everything happening in Lebanon), but others are: https://toot.cafe/@aardrian/116608683977339586
