ChatGPT and AI could completely replace the need for StackOverflow for coders as long as it constantly told me my question was irrelevant, had already been answered, and berated me for not doing my own research first and then downvoted me.

This took way too long but we now finally also have a proper journey progress display in #KDE Itinerary's onboard API powered live view.

Just learned set theory and I cannot contain myself.

A short introduction on how to use your desktop system for #MobileLinux development using a nested #phosh session (and without having to compile anything):

This is planned to have follow up parts, let's see how this works out.

I was also able to collaborate with http://ankhaneko.art for the artwork / puzzle on the back. This also inspired the software inside, made by Sake.

Im Landkreis Altötting soll der größte onshore Windrad-Park Deutschlands entstehen. Eine "Bürgerinitiative" verbreitet einen Flyer mit Windkraft-Mythen. Wir wollten uns zuerst nur deren Flyer anschauen - und entdeckten aber dann, wer wirklich dahinter steckt. Und sind plötzlich auf ein großes Netzwerk rund um AfD, Querdenker und Lobbygruppen gestoßen. Hier, wie subtil und systematisch versucht wird, die öffentliche Meinung zu manipulieren: https://www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/netzwerk-anti-windrad-buergerinitiativen/?utm_source=mstdn

Nevermind the minor problem of them *also* being pitched into the public sector without any sort of reflection or guardrail.

Are only *some* users supposed to be able to get to government services? The "right" users? The "good" residents and citizens?

What sort of elitist, classist bullshit is that, exactly?

So don't take the next JS bro sales pitch at face value; the odds that it's wrapping a deep wisdom and understanding -- rather than an embarrassing amount of libertarian I've-got-mine-jack-ism -- is vanishingly small.

Hire people to fix problems with CSS and HTML, not to make them with JS.

gah, we might be doing a #curl 7.88.1 soon. Stay tuned for details.

Die Nutzung des #ÖPNV ist für einige Menschen mit #Behinderung mit Hindernissen verbunden. Das gilt auch für die Versorgung mit Informationen. 53 % von ihnen geben an, dass #Mobilität​s-Apps schwierig zu bedienen sind. Auch Schilder oder Durchsagen seien nur schwer verständlich. Das empfinden etwa 48 % der Menschen mit Behinderung.

Aber auch Menschen ohne Behinderung haben Probleme mit dem Zugang zu Informationen an #Bahnhöf​en oder #Flughäfen und bewerten dies ähnlich.

Nevermind the tiny problem of explaining why I spend > 50% of my time working with teams to help their products improve. Who would do that if they thought the person on the other side of the screen was "stupid"? Wouldn't that be a sort of pure horror?

Again, for the avoidance of doubt: I'm lucky and privileged to get to work with incredible teams. I'm writing these posts because I'm *apoplectic* that these *incredible* engineers that I respect deeply were sold rotten construction materials.

A big portion of US traffic deaths are "SUV vs anything." "Anything" can be a smaller car, a cyclist, or a pedestrian.

Because of the systemically racist way that US infrastructure has been built, "SUV vs pedestrian" strikes are disproportionately likely to involve a white driver and Black child pedestrian. White SUVs drive in places where Black kids walk.

This affects people of all colors, but the most dangerous way to be a pedestrian in the US *by far*, is to be a Black child aged 4 to 15.

When a car is repaired after a crash, the GDP goes up.

When a fruit or vegetable is grown only to be thrown out by a supermarket as food waste, the GDP goes up.

When you replace a phone that still works because of planned obsolescence, the GDP goes up.

When you throw out a perfectly good coat because it's no longer fashionable, and buy a new one in this season's style, the GDP goes up.

When a bridge has to be replaced because it wasn't built right, the GDP goes up.

When a piece of packaging is manufactured only to be thrown away straight away, the GDP goes up.

When a site needs to be decontaminated because chemicals weren't stored correctly, the GDP goes up.

In each case, society has no more usable wealth than it would have had if the car didn't crash, the vegetable wasn't grown, the phone wasn't replaced, the old coat was still being worn, there was less packaging, or the chemicals were stored correctly. Yet the GDP goes up.

Meanwhile, most of the wealth that is generated ends up in the top one percent's pockets.

The truth is that GDP isn't a useful measurement. It's just a convenient one.
