Simone"This isnāt accidental. Itās cultural. Weāve created an industry where complexity is celebrated. Where cleverness is rewarded. Where engineering sophistication is valued more than clarity, usability, or commercial effectiveness."
From the same article: "Accessibility? Maybe, if there is time."
There NEVER is time. The industry is now a travesty, and it ruined everything around it.

yoasif@[email protected] The #firefox #reddit #ama happened a while ago, but if you missed it, I wrote up an overview of what was discussed.
Shares are appreciated, especially since Reddit is its own island and it would be nice to get this shared across the #fediverse as well!
ya boi timME: Hello computer! Please show me what I was doing recently
COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch
COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ
COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this? Please select "I love this very much" or "I'll be in love with this later" to continue

Really grinds my gears that #MacOS doesn't allow apps with an "always on top" setting, except of course for some of its own. I want to use #Logseq to jot down quick thoughts as I browse the web. To do so, I have to narrow my browser window to make the other app window visible, wasting screen real estate.
The Apple-made apps Stickies and Notes however both have options to float on top.
William PietriOk, so first, content creation. That seems positive, right? Wrong! The best way I've seen of explaining this: "Why should I take the time to read something nobody took the time to write?"
I think this one is a huge net societal negative. The people out there who want instant "content" are almost entirely not readers. They're people who want something to run ads against. They're people who want the credit for writing without doing the work. They're people who want to sell you something without understanding the something or whether or not it might be good for you. In short, they're people with various levels of contempt for their readers.
