  • Such a shame that Wayland did away with accessibility APIs which makes switching a hard stop for those of us with disabilities that rely on software that works with these APIs.

    They work with X11, which had consistent APIs, but Wayland leaves it up to each distro to implement their own APIs, if they do at all, fragmenting the ecosystem.

    Hell, even mouse acceleration curves are skuffed now, it really sucks.






  • A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment. Generally with our automation we write a CLI, And GitHub actions is just an execution environment that calls the CLI.

    And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run workflows locally with docker!












  • The amount of Labor that would go into it it really isn’t that high.

    This is what distribution is for.

    The company that owns the hardware is not the company that recycles it. The recycler can make a profit by reselling these components, they’re not allowed to.

    Many of these components still have to be pulled out so that labor cost is already a wash. The additional labor cost of testing, selling, packaging, and shipping is baked into the price in the secondary market.

    Not everything is worth being resold, but many things are and those things are often not allowed to be resold due to destruction contracts.



  • It seems a stretch to call (at least as far as I understand it), a naked (fictional) underage character riding a horse CSAM? Sure, it’s definitely not in good taste, but… CSAM?

    CSAM is child abuse, there are no children here. Is there a clear line between someone drawing and actual real child abuse? Because, IMHO, there definitely should be.

    I agree that steam shouldn’t allow such content, we don’t want it, but I definitely disagree with the semantics here.

    Or am I missing something obvious??


  • I disagree.

    I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.

    Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

    Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

    This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
