For anyone curious about accessibility support, looks like it's a WIP with contributions from System76 staff <3 https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/552

And TIL about AccessKit https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit


> cassette deck on his desk

Greybeard reporting for duty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Datasette


Looks like the C64 is behind it (underneath a..?) and there’s a small corner of 5.25” diskette station further back.

Probably not his daily drivers.. :)


Yeah, behind datasette it looks like there's C64 C parked, and above is a laser 300 (which makes sense if guy is australian) and we can also see 1541-ii behind that, on the top.


Right, laser 300 was called the VZ300 here. I'm out of desk space so I had to put the VZ300 on a stand above my C64C. Maybe AI can finally help me code some C64 and VZ games. :-)


If only! It's kind of a blessing and a curse for us who still code for c64 (demo scene). It looks like llm may help you, but it's usually gibberish 6502 asm. I've seen similar with z80 but on spectrum.


I think generating assembly with an LLM would be like copying from a magazine back then: nothing learned.

But I wonder, do LLMs help explain chunks of 6502 assembly code, in your experience? Say, if one was learning.


yeah that certainly does happen. Especially if you give it the context of the machine since 6502 itself and opcodes do you no good unless you know the memory layout/ map which is in a sense what machine you're on. NES and C64 are 6502, heck even SNES is but 6502 opcodes are nothing since action is in memory you're interacting with.

When you provide context and the memory map, it does help explaining what algos you're looking at and what's going on. I've had a bit more luck with gemini rather than claude on this vs in general claude codes better. ChatGPT is for the most part lost in hallucinations.


Another way to interpret the parent comment would be that a lot of people are autistic.


The parent comment is also saying if they weren’t autistic, half the it force would be gone. Sounds pretty black and white.


It’s saying that the conditions and traits that tend to select for IT people is often represented in autistic populations. Anyone that’s managed in IT can attest to this. Maybe “half” was a figurative exaggeration for effect, but you seem to be injecting an entirely different meaning and bias into the comment.

> I’m not vilifying you, it was just a poor choice of words.

You're not being honest here. Questioning someone's belief and calling it gross is vilifying, regardless of any agreement or lack thereof from a broader community. Additionally, finding the one disagreeable point and harping on that instead of any of the rest of the points they made is another means of vilification.


I literally did not say this. Go back and read it.


>Say somehow you could eliminate autism spectrum disorder - there goes half your IT staff.

If they didn’t have autism, they wouldn’t be in IT


I’m not sure you are actually reading the sentence. Since you seem insistent on not doing so, I’m done with this conversation.


> what your company likely needs is some implementation of libvirtd or proxmox. run your workloads on rootless podman or (god forbid) deploy to a single VM.

Even with a single VM, someone's company probably will also want a reverse proxy and certificate management (assuming web services), automated deployments, provide secrets to services, storage volumes, health checks with auto restarts, ability to wire logs and metrics to some type of monitoring system, etc. All of this is possible with scripts and config management tools but now complexity is being managed in different ways. Alternatively use K3s and Flux to end up with a solution that checks all of those boxes while also having the option to use k8s manifests in public clouds.


I've been trying to find time here and there to get the tumbleweeds out of my gaming pc just so I can try that game. Reviews and streams for it remind me a bit of the Dark Zone experience when the first Division game came out.


It is a lot like the Division's DZ. Less toxicity out of the gate, but we'll see how that goes as time passes. They should've taken the "rogue" mechanic from that game.

Arc Raiders is a ton of fun though. Also recommend Helldivers 2 if you just want a PvE shooter. It tends to be buggy as hell but the core game experience is hilariously fun.


Good news is it can run pretty well even on a potato, they've worked really hard on UE5 for the game.


No one's mentioned Gitu yet but it's a pretty nice client https://github.com/altsem/gitu


> as far as I can tell, no operating system does this in a way that really works besides OSX

AFAIK this is an easy setting in desktop environments such as Cosmic, Gnome, and KDE. But I've been using keyd on Linux distros for a while:

https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd#quickstart

Using the config in the above example results in Caps Lock acting as Esc if used on its own or as Ctrl if it's held down.


+1 It's been ages since I last tried Emacs but one of the main reasons it didn't resonate with me was the constant hand contortions required for key chords. I'm pretty sure I tried evil mode as well. Projects such as Combobulate, Vertico, etc. being mentioned in this thread weren't around back then and seem intriguing. Curious to learn about any other projects or workarounds that help with ergonomics.


> The moment you want to rely on a JavaScript library or generate some CSS you pretty much have to pull in Node and NPM because there just so much value in those ecosystems.

Perhaps I'm missing details here but isn't that a reality with non-js web frameworks? The Phoenix docs mention esbuild and npm right off the bat:

https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/asset_management.html

Laravel expects node, npm, and vite at the very least:

Miniflux is pretty good and easy to self-host:
