    Yeah. Some of the tree is a mess, could try to ocr those bits. It's on the roadmap. :) I will say I have some feelings about Wayland and how hard it makes some stuff I do. I'm visu…

    Yes. It works really well with Firefox. Chrome is basically a big blank, could expose the Chrome a11y tree but would have to turn on developer / debug mode or whatever which has do…

    Show HN: Tine – Drive Wayland Around with Agents

    So recently Anthropic came out with tools that let you drive Windows and Mac OS around. But I don't use Windows or MacOS, and was curious about some Wayland internals stuff and whe…

    Yes, they do. But you'll get 5 responses saying you're doing something wrong.

    No, people really dressed better back then. source: around for some of it

    I get the Apple suspicion, but there's great Zoom functionality on every Apple device I've used. Also color invert, screen reader, and a whole rack of other a11y features. I agree …

    It's not your intention, but it is functionally what you suggested. First, we've had these distros, about 5 of them. They're very hard to maintain and are all abandoned now. SOme o…

    You're confused if that's what you think about the blogger. I know this guy and he's the most DIY person to almost a farcical degree. You try booting into a distro without your mon…

    I like that this article isn't just a bunch of GNOME hate. But I freely admit to being frustrated that this switch is being forced when they're still developing basic accessibility…

    Someone's been writing a great series on accessibility for the blind in Linux https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-want-to-love-linux-it-d...

    I was thinking about doing something like this. I write a lot of boilerplate about "ok we need to discuss before you implement, ask clarifying questions" so it doesn't go rushing a…

    Only games that seem to have escaped this in my memory are Disco Elesium and Planescape Torment I'm leaving out interactive fiction but there's some very good writing in that niche…

    But you wouldn't post your google search either.

    I'm interested. But I think the sync story outside of iCloud needs to be fleshed out.

    What a missed oppurtunity to fire that extra person. Maybe the AI could also figure out how to do taxes and then everyone in the office could be out a job.

    You can also just sit in the corner and never make anything. So what?

    Yes, the imminent is a high bar.

    If you're curious, spend some time with it. I think Emacs rewards a deep dive, it's a unique piece of software. Make sure to try org mode and magit and to run through the built-in …

    It's a local minima. The big journals were bought up in the 70s and 80s and scientists were hoisted on their own prestige petard. I get the Chesterton's fence thing but this is not…

    I guess I kind of disagree. Some projects might pull in 50-800 deps, and then they will run on servers with utilities written by folks. Who are you supposed to thank and who not? Y…

    It's significantly better, but very area dependent. Some routes can still be very dangerous and it's not to the standard of many European cities. Still, you might be pleasantly sur…
