that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

its not that simple. pushing a full cart could start the pain at which point you’re just fucked, pushing the empty cart back might really just be too much after that

eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and “fixing” it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it “yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed”

DDG keeps changing my search query because its “not returning a lot of results” or because it thinks I typo’d and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query

'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did

given how often disabled people are yelled at for using disabled parking spots, I would not be as optimistic that we’d not be included

As for how they were able to use it, maybe using it for a little bit is okay but it starts physically hurting after a while leading to them not being able to put it back, that has happened to me before. Or maybe the return cart area is a bit up a hill or otherwise inaccessible

I’m not so much in favor of IP law as I am in favor of informed consent in every aspect of the word.

when posting photos, art and text content years ago, I was not able to imagine it might be trained off by an AI. As such I was not able to make a decision based on informed consent if I agreed to that or not.

Even though quotes such as “once you post it, its on the internet forever” were around, I was not aware the extend to which this reached and that had my art been vacuumed by a generative AI model (it hasnt luckily) people could create art that pretends to be created by me. Thus I could not consent

I think this goes for a lot of artists actually, especially those who exist far more publicly than I do, who are in those databases and who are a keyword to be used in prompts. There is no possible way they could have given informed consent to that at the time they posted art/at the time they started that social media profile/youtube channel etc.

To me, this is the real problem. I could care less about corporations.

as long as software I use daily doesn’t work on it as transparently as it did to me as an end user on xorg then yes, to me as the enduser, Wayland does break things and no, Wayland is not ready

I am an enduser. I don’t care about the specifics, I expect things to work and not suddenly break.

For all the “year of the linux desktop” shouting, nobody wants to truly really think about or consider non-dev daily driver endusers who just want things to continue to work like they always have

can’t violate the prime direggtive

which part of “no negotiations possible” do you not get?

I would like a more granular choice, acccessibility is not something I can give up, I don’t care sites can fingerprint me with it

resist fingerprinting resets zoom levels because its used as a way to fingerprint, sites can get zoom levels and the idea is to blend into the crowd

that said, I share your frustration, I have to disable Resist Fingerprint because of that, the persistent zoom levels are an accessibility requirement for me, no negotiations possible.

Ideally Resist Fingerprinting would allow for more granular options because while I understand the “blending into the crowd” aspect of the option as it is now, it just doesn’t work like this for me and many others with accessibility needs, and that should be addressed

(also replying so I remember to check back for replies, sorry for the ramble, Resist Fingerprinting as it is now annoys me)

I think people should know those are just mutes

its like that on mastodon too, user domain blocks won’t actually protect you from harassment or your data being vacuumed

the whole “cats are assholes” thing comes mostly from people viewing cats through a dog lens, expecting them to act like dogs, then being shocked they don’t thus they most be aloof and/or assholes

I’m so tired of it. I wish people learnt to communicate with cats in cat!
