I'm an atheist cylon working as a developer - don't blow my cover!
I live for the passive-agressive emojis at the end of the sentences.
I may contain peanuts.

to give credit where it's due, the new ui is an improvement from the previous one which used floating action button (FAB), but this is still designed right-handed users in mind as the more significant action is placed in a close reach for the right thumb (and the less important overflow menu is pushed to the left).
that being said, the FAB is the worst design choice on Android for a left-handed, so from being "the least convenient interaction on my phone" it became to only an awkward one 🤷♂️
I will die on the hill of considering "left-handedness" in #accessibility, especially on mobile where the touch-screen blurs the line between the software interface and physical world:
the #Firefox the tab list puts the "New tab" button to right of the centre, which I guess is very convenient for most folks, but I struggle to reach it with my (small) left hand.
like.. 10% of the people is left-handed (more than colour blinds), and yet, I feel there's nothing is done to accommodate our needs 😮💨
the idea that the web ecosystem isn't "open" anymore because of complexity is ridiculous. anyone can still write basic html and javascript and get a site working. you don't have to use flexbox. you could just use nested tables. nobody gives a shit
the web ecosystem isn't open anymore because 5 planet spanning companies richer than god monopolize it now and you can't fix that by buying into the AI slop those very companies are peddling

According to documents obtained by Direkt36, a secret operation was carried out to bring down the IT systems of the Hungarian opposition party Tisza. IT specialists affiliated with the party planned to expose this, but then police officers, pressured by the Hungarian secret services, raided them, apparently on trumped-up charges.
✍️ New post: The Shape of Friction
I wrote a short blog post reply to @davatron5000’s recent post (👏) about generative AI, friction, and people.

Over the night I got so many responses and boosts to my original Toot that I decided to start the petition to Node.js Technical Steering Committee (TSC) to make sure all our voices are heard.
If you don't want Node.js core to be diluted with AI slop - please sign it by opening a Pull Request here and boosting this Toot for reach:
Thank you, you are the best!
My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"
Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

New blog post: https://ohhelloana.blog/overthinking-ai/
A post without any conclusion, solution or nothing. Just thoughts, processing memories and feelings.
Yesterday I was thinking about why I gave up one of my passions: films. And I jot down how the heartbreak is similar to stupid AI. Whatever.
FYI two weeks before Vercel sell your data and code to the slop factories

Astrophysicist Adam Becker dispels the ridiculous idea of data centers in space on our latest episode of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000. This was such a fun conversation. Check out episode 73: "Data Centers in Space!?”.
