But you can reframe it. People don't have equal mobility but everyone has an equal right to access a place, so you have stairs and ramps. You can't make everything a ramp or stair to create equality.

I think there's some non-symbolic effort going on in ungoogled-chromium.

Well Stuart Semple is someone who has generally been quite reliable in what he does and a fairly prominent artist, so he presumably understands how the Adobe tools work. He probably doesn't have the technical know-how on how to build it. The article mentions that it's a team of sixteen people right now without the funding presumably.

I mean the worst case is they pick an existing project like gimp, krita, darktable or inkscape and brings in enough features to Adobe parity. That isn't a bad outcome at all.

Unfortunately they've been pushing the release date of this battery forward for the last two three years or so. I believe they have some core technology but haven't been able to overcome some critical issues.

It's insane to me as a non-American that a) one of the most critical jobs employ lots of people without paying them and b) that person has no responsibility to actually do that critical job.

What if surgeons decided they don't want to operate on someone because they just don't feel like it or like the person? Society is usually built on trust the in an emergency you can count on others.

Honestly it feels really scrummy that people who do firefighting might not be paid.

So what happened? I don't understand what's going on. Was someone using a toddler to rob people? Or was this person hit by a car or something?

I've directly asked one of the devs. If you look at their GitHub you can see a collection of essays one of the devs have written. It's pretty openly displayed actually.

He pled guilty to lying on a form about his addiction while purchasing a firearm and not paying taxes for two years while he was an addict (through he paid the back taxes after that eventually I think).

I honestly appreciate the fact that everyone was transparent about this and chose to be upfront and take responsibility rather than do all the shit that republicans do when accused of something.

I was just thinking how the developer of kbin made a post regarding a similar bug in kbin and some people made fun of him for missing something so obvious, and here we are 🤨

Think of it as speaking a foreign language. If you went to Spain, you would need to communicate in a way that people there understand wouldn't you? Think of communicating with neurotypical people as being in a different country. Their language is has the same words but convey meaning differently based on tone and a bunch of other stuff.

In case of the dogs, the neurotypical communication carries information regarding how much fault you assign to that person and yourself, whose stakes are higher, what is the expected action, what are the possible consequences of not doing that and so on entirely in non-verbal format, something that we have trouble with.

The could you and thank you part is essentially communicating that you're acknowledging (and in a way probing) that they didn't probably commit the act out of malice or neglect and giving them room to communicate, while also indicating that they would be helping you by not letting it happen.

Now I am not great at emulating light tone or the correct expressions so I usually just say all of this explicitly in my normal tone. That seems to work mostly.

Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky temperature limits in the bios.

Well sort of. They got defeated because it was users from those communities causing a large portion of incidents that needed moderation. Open sign-ups are fine if you have some other way to filter users.
