    Working with screen readers is not the only possible problem. It is not very good if you disable loading fonts, or if you disable CSS as well, or using a browser that does not load…

    I agree that benefits come from fine-grained permissions; however, for the fine permissions of user authentication (and API authentication), I think it would help to use X.509 cert…

    Possibly, to add the anti-discrimination law, one of the other things that is protected against discrimination would be the computers (including kind of computers and lack of compu…

    Different countries use different money, and also if they sell in the place then it can still be a price for the different place, which does not necessarily involve surveillance, n…

    My only use of GitHub Actions specifies permissions that only allow it to write to the issue tracker, so if the program it executes (which is the "gh" program) is malicious then th…

    I might su combining Proposal A (but only for contributions (to Debian) that actually involve the output of LLMs/generative-AI or that blindly trust their results) with Proposal C …

    I have less than one terabyte of disk space, and less than 10% of the full capacity is in use, so it is closer to being empty. (The hard drives they sell have more capacity than I …

    I agree with most of what you write, and I think it is good that you mention these details. I also do not use LLM/generative-AI and I do not intend to use LLM/generative-AI, and ma…

    It still works for me too (I have no account on Reddit and have no intention to have an account, even if they try to insist), and it is also possible to add .json on the end of the…

    I do not like much of the modern decor either, but there are some additional issues. I think that they should not need to put all of the lights inside and outside even in the day t…

    One thing I have been working on is a implementation of X.509. (I also made my own implementation of DER, which I already use for some things that are unrelated to X.509, such as a…

    I do not use emoji and I do not have (and do not want) colourful emoji on my computer (emoji as ordinary text characters would be acceptable for the purpose of displaying texts tha…

    Super ZZ Zero is one of my projects, which is a game engine written in C with SDL1 (although it may be possible to port it to something that does not use SDL1, too). It is similar …

    I also would think that client certificates would help better. Then, you do not need API keys, as well as other benefits, such as the end user can create their own passworded priva…

    Comment #48532915

    I agree with you. The extensions and plugins should be separated from the rest of the program, like any other extensions, and can be configured and disabled by the end user. Some o…

    The list of concerns omits many things (although they do mention many valid concerns), such as concerns about control by the organizations that provide the AI services, power that …

    I agree that the bug report is not very good. I also agree that having commits written by Claude is not necessarily what caused the bug, although it might be (it is also possible t…

    I also think should be moved into extensions. However, extension security policies and other restrictions do not have to necessarily be so restrictive; there can be permissions but…

    Comment #48481011

    I had thought of that in the past too, and also thought that the additional functions (if needed, which it usually isn't, in my opinion) should be the secondary function and not th…

    > By this logic, shouldn't we also use plain HTTP instead of TLS? Better would be to use plain HTTP in addition to TLS, rather than instead of TLS. TLS does have benefits, but if i…

    Comment #48480898

    I agree; you should allow non-TLS connections as well as TLS. (At least, access that does not require authentication should not require TLS, but should still allow it if that is wh…

    I think it is a good idea. JavaScripts and CSS can enhance it but should not be required. Accessibility functions are also helpful; if designed well then it would be helpful for ev…

    Comment #48438125

    I agree that it would be better to not require JavaScripts. (But, I think it can be helpful to have mirrors on other services as well, for this and other reasons.) However, there a…

    I had written a NTSC emulator in C, based on some other equations I had found, although it expects command-line arguments to control many things (such as the phase), and expects a …
