neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Company Replaces Customer Support With AI, Then Panics and Forces Engineers to Work the Phones as the AI Fails14·11 days agoI’ve got great people skills, no problem.
Now this is a pretty simple problem to fix. First open your IDE, and we’ll need to create a quick node project with a couple dependencies. You don’t know what an IDE is… Can you open a pull req… No, don’t know what that is either. ok sure but this is entry level… Right ok well maybe we can find a way to do this in an online REPL… click beep beep hello? No? Ok guess they figured it out. Job well done. Ticket closed.

neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScriptEnglish3·17 days agoIt doesn’t have to not include JavaScript, that would be quite difficult and unreasonable. Accessible sites are not about limiting functionality but providing the same functionality.
I haven’t gone fully down the rabbit hole on this but my understanding is even something like Nuxt if you follow best practices will deliver HTML that can be interacted with and serve individual pages.
That said, screen readers and other support shouldn’t require running without any JavaScript. Having used them to test sites that might be the smart approach but they actually have a lot of tools for announcing dynamic website changes that are built into ARIA properties at the HTML level so very flexible. There are of course also JavaScript APIs for announcing changes.
They just require additional effort and forethought to implement and can be buggy if you do really weird things.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScriptEnglish3·17 days agoAlso the EU and technically a lot of US sites that provide services to or for the government have similar requirements. The latter is largely unenforced though unless you’re interacting with states that also have accessibility laws.
And honestly a ton of sites that should be covered by these requirements just don’t care or get rubber stamped as compliant. Because unless someone actually complains they don’t have a reason to care.
I kind of thought the EU requirements that have some actual penalties would change this indifference but other than some busy accessibility groups helping people that already care, I haven’t heard a lot about enforcement that would suggest it’s actually changed.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•You've been formally invited to laugh at me troubleshooting my first issue in Linux.9·20 days agoAs someone that spent a lot of years sitting next to an IT help desk, I’m not sure any chipsets work well at all. A lot of times you just have to figure out what makes them happy and get used to it.
I’d hear things like “as long as I don’t close my laptop after I undock, i don’t have to reboot to fix the wifi” as the person waddled across the office propping their laptop open. And these were high end windows laptops.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Hate Systemd? A New Init System(Nitro) Debuts as a Minimalist Process Supervisor for Linux6·22 days agoThis. Init having a pretty important role, you would hope being simple and minimal would be a priority. I just try to stick my head in the ground and pretend like it’s all ok.
I see so many people loving on atuin in the comments but I just tried it and don’t get it. It seems so much worse than the built in search. I guess it’s not for me.
Fancy otho mechanical keyboard.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegalEnglish3·30 days agoIf what manxu said is true it might be both courts agree its clear cut. It sounds more like a pull request getting rejected because of quality issues. “Fix it and resubmit. We don’t want this happening again”
I’ve learned courts have a lot of jargon and procedures that don’t make sense on the surface. some things that sound bad actually are for your benefit and it’s best to get a lawyer to translate.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Intel CPU Microcode Updates Released For Six High Severity Vulnerabilities9·1 month agoSimply put, modern processors aren’t just converting instructions directly into transistors, they actually have code that controls how they operate. That’s the microcode.

neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer OnlineEnglish4·1 month agoBig not a lawyer caveat but if it is revenue then likely not. That would be all money collected before expenses which I could see including donations collected for server expenses.
Yeah that was the problem. I just updated so assumed that wouldn’t be it but you work fast or I got unlucky. Thanks!
I’ve always felt like on paper hg is better than git but in practice it doesn’t feel like it to me. Kinda like arguing beta is better then vhs, etc. Also kinda wanted darcs to succeed and while it seems to still be developed it’s so niche as to not exist.
But the great thing is they do exist as alternatives.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole InternetEnglish3·1 month agoIts a server configuration issue. If you have a SPA even server side frameworks that uses native paths you need to configure the server to send all requests to the main application. You’ll find documentation of how to do this in the setup for every framework I’ve run into.
neclimdul@lemmy.worldto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•What's the deal with electrolyte drinks — do you need them to stay hydrated?English1·1 month agoYou don’t normally because they aren’t for hydration at all other than there is water involved. The history of their development coming out of the Florida Gator football program is quite interesting.
When you sweat you lose more than water. If you’ve tasted sweat you probably noticed it’s salty. So after exercising for long periods you need to replenish more than water to keep your body balanced. That’s where electrolyte drinks can help, providing a lot of those salts and minerals as well as some water.
There are a ton of caveats though because they don’t hydrate you. In fact, it is my understanding they can be dangerous if you’re actually dehydrated. People experiencing heat exhaustion or dehydration should only drink water, recovering their electrolytes only after they recover.
Water is the primary thing you should be drinking to hydrate yourself. If you’re doing light exercise and feel like it would help, it’s probably better to water it down and focus on more water.
Pretty sure the suggested usage of OBS is to use your GPU for hardware encoding video so not sure what the difference you’re describing is.
