Are you the disabled person using these automatic door buttons? If not, have you asked someone with a mobility-related disability what they think of it? It’s absolutely possible fo…

I think it’s perfect. It means that Meta can’t have squishy hand-wavy policies to keep minors off the platform, they’ll have to do real work and build real tools to keep them off b…

> minors get rewarded for signing up for the platforms that are harming them in the first place. That sounds like a great incentive for Meta to keep minors off of their platforms.

This is really ignorant. That’s not an insult exactly, I mean that you’re asking questions that all have answers if you cared to look them up. The reason why people call that sort …

> Disabled person pays isnt correct either because there are many near zero cost things we could do if we just thought about it at design phase. ??? This is the social model on a n…

I am so thankful that I just deal with chronic pain and not mobility issues as well. I’m sorry. Even though it doesn’t affect me directly I’ve started to notice places where mobili…

As a disabled person, my experience indicates that we’re not even close to what the social model could achieve. Example: I have a chronic pain disorder. I have substantial difficul…

It seems like the implication here is “if we can’t do anything, we shouldn’t do anything at all” under the social model. Not every doorknob will be disability friendly. If pressure…

> the Social Model of disability The best way I’ve heard this articulated is: Under the medical model, disabled individuals are expected to change their behavior to accommodate (fi…

If I make Bambi 2 and toss it up on YouTube I’m going to be sued by Disney for a wide variety of intellectual property violations, it doesn’t matter if I make it by hand or via an …

Jellyfin took me 20 minutes to setup with docker-compose. I’ve never customized anything about it aside from pointing it at my media library. It’s way less effort than making an SM…

I don’t think that’s true. The US is China’s most valuable trade partner.

“The Handmaid’s Tale is a bad book” is a wild take to start with. “I still think, even in these crazy, censorious times, that people who love banned books list are (intentionally o…

It is censorship if those books are not included for a specific reason. “We aren’t including this book in the library because we don’t have space for every book.” “We aren’t includ…

You are correct, for me TTFT is about 50% longer on an M1 Ultra than on a GPU, but you can also get an M1 Ultra Studio with 32GB for I’m wrong about the prices, but $4k-$5k for a G…

I think that’s only true for MoE models. A dense model like 3.6 27b will require more (plus a KV store).

An M1 Ultra has 800gbps unified memory. It’s nothing to do with Apple, it’s their microarchitecture. They’re just about the only game in town with high-bandwidth memory if you want…

> I'm willing to throw your mental wellbeing out with the bathwater on this, though I feel bad about doing so. So what, disabled people should just stay home? That’s your answer, j…

“All forms of media used to have a kind of social underground or niche.” These things and their corresponding communities still exist, they’re just not big presences in the mainstr…

The problem is that you don’t know what the person that you randomly chat up is dealing with. You could be doing this kind of thing to anyone. If I have earbuds in, I’m probably li…

I don’t mind talking to strangers, I’m actually a very chatty and genial person. Some would even say that I don’t know how to shut up. I just don’t want people (strangers or otherw…

I am unwell; I have ADHD and if someone interrupts me it takes me a long time to get back on track. It’s very inconsiderate.

This has nothing to do with expectation of privacy. Private setting or public setting, it’s rude to bother people who are busy.
