@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems yea it all just sucks for everyone

"security is more important than accessibility" look buddy, if i want to stay safe on my computer while not being able to use it, i may as well not power it on

"hmm, nothing on fedi on laptop, lemme do smth on phone instead" proceeds to launch fedi on phone truly, a masterful move

serious dragon woman and her silly fox gf

autocorrect is a great accessibility feature that is completely useless if you can speak multiple languages

people always go and bring out the big guns of infinite series to prove it's fine when changing base is literally right there and free

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social guess you're not human if blind or can't read the typography on some website! /sarcasm i suppose it also fucks up reader mode

@tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz he said the quiet part out loud though, many just do not give a fuck about accessibility, esp in corps, but that attitude also bleeds out in personal projects

i think it's interesting how french has an affirmative, "oui", for when you're agreeing with a statement, but also "si", for when you contradict it, but there is nothing such for negatives, only "non" for both, which can lead to misunderstandings (e.g. "i suppose you don't want X" with "non" as reply, which is ambiguous as it can either be an agreement or disagreement), which requires specifying afterwards which was meant to be clear, making the "non" basically useless here

if the next "c killer" language comes up doing generics with monomorphisation i'm going to blow up

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place there's even code that produces both utter disgust and anger, as well as admiration there isn't a lot, but it's out there

@joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech @dalias@hachyderm.io @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me a screen reader is mostly useless to me, stuff being a bit bigger is usually enough (150% size generally works), scrollbar not being shy, and icons being readable (colour helps!) will generally be enough, i don't want to have to use a screen reader tangent, why do so many gui things have the scrollbar overlaid on the actual content rather than aside ? sometimes bc of that the scrollbar will hide some of the info i need

@tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz a guy i studied alongside with, i doubt he's on here

@Axolotl1@gaygeek.social why only a week

i wish netsurf had more people caring about it

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social you know this is made by incompetents bc scrolling that website lags on my phone

@alice@mk.nyaa.place @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place that reminds me of that guy who said "why flathub cares what devs use to make their apps" but i only realised now that it's pretty normal actually to limit wastes of ressources on apps nobody wants to use

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place to me, code is much like architecture, or photography: it is functional, it serves a purpose, but it is all filled with ideas, thoughts, and someone's craft. even when you make something purely from technical requirements, such that you do not have any leeway in how to make it, the art lives in the requirements themselves. are you building software such that each piece can individually be understood, improved, replaced ? the very fact of deciding to build software this way is an art form.

@dillo@fosstodon.org rip

@condret@fedi.absturztau.be @mttaggart@infosec.exchange @nohhue@mastodon.social it's the virtual equivalent of an "employees only" (except here it'd be non scrapers only) sign, so actually, yes, it is

@supertux@floss.social tux and xenia spinoff game when

@0xDokki@lgbtqia.space wruff

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social oh how i wish i could

@ZLabe@fediscience.org hey what happened around 1940- oh

@pinskia@hachyderm.io as for swift, their generics allow direct use of parameter types, which requires monomorphisation unless your compiler can somehow rewrite it to not require it (but that's hard and not good for a systems lang anyway because it hides what's actually goes on)

@pinskia@hachyderm.io last i checked, zig used it with comptime, there was not enough capabilities in the type system to have type safe non monomorphic generic data structures, and the stdlib ones definitely rely on comptime just checked, yep, still basically monomorphisation

@alice@mk.nyaa.place ... the pipeline

@navi@social.vlhl.dev honestly the more i think about it the more nonsensical it is to not use gentoo here

@rose@pl.pinkro.se a what

@rose@pl.pinkro.se oh im not rlly cars tbh, i prefer riding trammies

@ExpiredPopsicle@vt.social wouagh

@rose@pl.pinkro.se @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me sure, but does he have any ability to actually maintain it just making a repo is easy but you need to keep up with it

@rose@pl.pinkro.se ok that just tells me that project was put together by someone with 0 clues

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @q66@gts.q66.moe following hashtags:

@pinskia@hachyderm.io by visit you mean the oop visitor pattern or ? if yes, i agree

@gwenthefops@booping.synth.download hmmm there isn't a fishcreature in my gfs polycule

@aphyr@woof.group "a wolf is a hole" so true fam :wlfAlert:

like i don't even mean full impl of specific algorithms, but like, simple helpers ? string views and utilities for string analysis / parsing (no scanf doesn't count) ? a file io api with actually good (or at least not terrible) error management ? some basic generic data structures (if the data structure is a bottleneck, the cost of it being generic will be outclassed by the implementation not being tuned to your case) ? a seekable bit/byte stream interface from a binary buffer ?

@fastfinge@fed.interfree.ca well known only abled people use computers to do stuff eh ?

@bnuuylily@zoner.work wait there's lenses for astigmatism ?

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @q66@gts.q66.moe what ?

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social i have a fan aimed at my cheeks when i sleep, close enough

@rose@pl.pinkro.se @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me ... but why

@uncomfyhalomacro@fosstodon.org i never notice when there's speedups because my config always loads fast
