@kdekooter I agree. CSS is so easy to use that it makes no sense to have frameworks for it. At the very best, you only get marginal gains in speed of coding (and I'm ignoring the learning curve there), but never in clarity or efficiency.

Also, I hate how a lot of websites tend to look alike nowadays, but that's a pet peeve of mine.

@urusan No need. Even if they passed it, that wouldn't prove anything. LLMs are not supposed to be intelligent or to even look the part, they're just supposed to sound/read natural. They're just an overhyped proof of concept.

@trinsec All I saw was three people (hardly a barrage) confronting her over one of her assertions in the original post, and they were objectively right.

None of them called her a liar, like I did; none of them insulted her or her product. All three responses were variations of: “If what you say is true, what about _this_?” I fail to see how that's rude, entitled or misinformed. When journalists push politicians on their lies, does she think they're being rude, too?

I'm genuinely perplexed at people who say they receive “a barrage of extremely rude, very entitled, often misinformed responses,” or something to the same effect, because when you go look at the responses it is _never, ever_ true.

It's not that I can't see some of them. I went to her instance, so I saw whatever she got. She's lying, plain and simple.

I singled her out as an example, but my point is more general: why do people lie about something that's so easy to check?

@lydiaconwell IMHO, if someone is just annoying, muting is the way to go, as you won't have to see them ever again. Blocking is more of a preemptive safety measure (i.e., you don't want them to find you or your posts).

Again, all of the above is just my opinion, not some new unwritten rule of the Fediverse.

@Suiseiseki Hey, it worked for the extraterrestrials in _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_, and it made for a very entertaining story.

@mr_creosote I read the title in the first image as ‘Furricok’. I really hope I wasn't the only one.

@nachocarreras Me extrañaría un envío de 20 000 millones de armas. Será más bien de 20 000 millones de euros _en_ armas.

@cute_stuff@blahaj.zone If you think about it, your argument refutes itself: you first lost your freedom when you bought a PC that wouldn't work without proprietary drivers.

In all seriousness, the idea is that if you keep using proprietary software there will be no incentive to create free software alternatives and you will end up losing all control over your _personal_ computer. That eventually leads to stuff like what Edward Snowden revealed.

@thor You got me at “pointing fingers is fun.”

@m3t00 I disagree. While there are other ways to get to know new people besides following them, not everybody follows hashtags or reads the Local or Federated timelines. Recommendations are still a good idea here, as well as quote posts where applicable.

> No more cash donations to hungry homeless you pass.

Yeah, sure. Because that's the kind of thing people who believe cash = freedom do all the time.

I don't support a cashless society, but most, if not all, of those arguments are bullshit.

@hirad Thanks!

@hirad What tools do you use for creating fonts, if you don't mind my asking?

@catsalad I find it interesting that, given that you were asked about “women security researchers,” your response implies that a woman equals anyone who doesn't identify as a man, which reinforces the notion of gender as a binary in a very weird way (i.e., men vs not men).

@libreture
@glennmagusharvey From what I remember from the time I studied the format, ‘intended’ would not be the right word. It's more of a side effect.

Again, if memory serves me correctly, the designer has ways to control pagination, but doing so makes very little sense. It would be too much work for no real gain.

@cyrilpedia What does that mean exactly? With my limited knowledge, what I understand from that quote is that fully vaccinated people are left with a compromised immune system.
