You can legally discriminate on the basis of political views.
In California?

At one point does accessibility decrease accessibility? I'm all for making improvements in the name of accessibility, but not so much about making things worse to support the least common denominator of screen readers. If people are going to need to change their behavior, wouldn't it be better to suggest some aria annotation instead?
Links are for clicking. Click here is superfluous noise.
CoffeeOnWrite commented on GitHub CEO: manual coding remains key despite AI boom techinasia.com/news/githu... · Posted by u/andrewstetsenko
“Manual” has a negative connotation. If I understand the article correctly, they mean “human coding remains key”. It’s not clear to me the GitHub CEO actually used the word “manual”, that would surprise me. Is there another source on this that’s either more neutral or better at choosing accurate words? The last thing we need is to put down human coding as “manual”; human coders have a large toolbox of non-AI tools to automate their coding.
(Wow I sound triggered! sigh)

>in theory, you'd be keeping the same body, while swapping out the mainboard.
I love the idea of Framework, but the upgradability seems questionable to me. I base this off my experience with desktops where I've rarely over the decades upgraded more than the hard drive and RAM. When I'm looking at upgrading the motherboard it seems I just end up going all the way and getting a new case/ps/etc at the same time. Maybe that's just me though?
Because the old machine is still useful intact. I don’t see a difference between laptop and desktop here. I agree I don’t see myself ever swapping in an upgraded motherboard.
To me, Merlin is the shining example of what "a computer in everyone's pocket" could have been. Such an amazing app that connects so many people more intimately with the world around them.
I get occasional nudges to support their organization, but it's a clear and direct appeal, there are no dark patterns that I'm aware of.
iNaturalist is another gem. Hackers please support these apps so they don’t turn into the AllTrails and Couchsurfing type rackets that we deserve.
IIRC it’s the same sensors as the old ones
I have no idea and didn’t comment on what the sensors are. Before the new gates, they worked. Now they only half work.
