GIMP’s focus isn’t on drawing, but rather on manipulating photographs. If you want to be drawing circles easily, then Krita or Inkscape or any number of simple paint applications will do that…

Ich würde behaupten, dass auch dazu die Fachmeinungen nicht so gefestigt sind, dass man das so eindeutig sagen kann. Hier sagt eine Expertin z.B. dass ME/CFS selbst eine Folge einer COVID-Infektion sein kann: https://www.zdf.de/play/reportagen/37-grad-104/37-jede-anstrengung-ist-zu-viel-100 (bei 12:30)

Naja, bei Chipstüten wird mit Stickstoff aufgefüllt, weil man verhindern will, dass Chips zerdrückt werden, wenn irgendwas von außen auf die Tüte drückt…

Personally, I like it as an example here, because yes, technically you can’t know for sure that a fish feels pain, much like you can’t know for sure that a cat feels empathy, but it’s illogical to assume that if we don’t know about it that it doesn’t have it. The base assumption should be that these animals are similar to us, because they’re really not that different from us.
In particular, pain and empathy are crucial to survival for us. It would be extraordinary, if fish and cats survived without any notion of it.

For that purpose, I use a language with a decent compiler, but I know not everyone is as lucky…

(they anatomically can not have empathy)

You got a source on that? Not to be rude, but it sounds like the nonsense that meat eaters in denial tell each other like “fish can’t feel pain”, even though when you poke a fish, it obviously reacts to that.

I have a web music player that I’ve developed, and while it was never really intended to be used by others, I thought I had generally followed accessibility best practices. After using it for about two years, I realized that I never even implemented keyboard shortcuts. 🫠

Which is to say, one shouldn’t assume devs to know what they’re doing. At some point, I’m also just a user and I use software like everyone else does, meaning I pick out a path that works for me and then I hardly look left and right from there.
Features not being tested when you don’t use them yourself, that happens with any feature. But it’s much worse for UI features, because those are difficult to automate tests for. And accessibility is in an even worse spot, because it necessarily opens up a separate path, which is going to be invisible to me as a user, so it gets covered by neither automated tests nor by me just using the software.

I have to go out of my way to test accessibility, which means I have to be aware that a change I’m making might introduce a regression. That’s genuinely how lots of amateur developers work, which is probably the best explanation why accessibility support is often so amateur-ish…

Maybe he just wants to find an appropriately sized big stick for the big dogs.

Chronisches Fatigue-Syndrom, bzw. das “ME” steht wohl für den medizinischen Namen (Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis). Ist ähnlich zu Long-COVID (bzw. teilweise wird vermutet, dass es in manchen Fällen sogar das selbe ist) und zeichnet sich primär dadurch aus, dass man meist nur einen Bruchteil seiner Energie hat, egal wie ausgeruht man ist. Als Abgrenzung zu anderen Krankheiten wird oft die post-exertionelle Malaise (PEM) genannt, was heißen soll, wenn man sich körperlich anstrengt, führt das oft zu nochmal deutlich stärkerer Fatigue und Schmerzen über den normalen Erholungszeitraum hinaus, so dass man z.B. am Folgetag gar nicht aus dem Bett kommt.

Leider insgesamt eine sehr schlecht erforschte Krankheit, wodurch es oft bei Diagnose-Gesprächen genannt wird, aber eine tatsächliche Diagnose extrem langwierig und kräftezehrend ist, weil man quasi alles mögliche andere erst mal ausschließen muss.

Bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich die Frage richtig verstehe, aber man hätte als Partei ja durchaus einen Vorstoß machen können, dass z.B. die einen für ein Verbot von Böllern sind, die anderen wollen nur irgendwie eine Steuer darauf, und eine dritte Partei plädiert für verschärfte Grenzkontrollen, um illegale Sprengkörper abzufangen.

Wie genau die Lösung oder auch nur ein Kompromiss aussieht, ist für mich erstmal zweitrangig. Mir geht’s nur darum, dass Millionen eine Petition unterschrieben haben und ich habe nichts von irgendeiner Partei gehört, außer dass Scholz ein Verbot “komisch” fände, was ja das Thema auch völlig unzureichend betrachtet.

Find’s geil, wie das Anfang des Jahres noch tatsächlich ein größeres Thema war (also größer als sonst jedes Jahr). Dann war sogar recht zügig Wahlkampf, wo das hätte aufgegriffen werden können. Aber trotzdem wird genau Null-Komma-Garnichts passieren.

Unfortunately really not a high bar.

Normal person: We should improve society somewhat.
MAGA: Woke. What is wrong with that person? Why are they aware of issues that we face as a society? We need to put a stop to this by voting for a guy who’s never lived an ordinary day in his entire life.

Die US Variante hat sich halt weltweit durchgesetzt im Gegensatz zur Deutschen.

I don’t think that was entirely serious…

John Oliver did a piece on it a while ago, which gives a pretty good overview of the situation: https://tube.fede.re/videos/watch/16650f54-3c69-4d81-b7ae-17f0a3889dbd

As a German, I feel obliged to tell you, though, that yes, it does only concern 1%, or probably rather even 0.1%, of the population, because that is the fascist playbook. You pick out a minority and declare them the enemy, so you don’t have to solve real problems. Don’t get me wrong, there is a legitimate conflict here between the interests of cis women and trans women.
But it’s not nearly as relevant as the fascists make it out to be. And most situations can be resolved with nuance, which is something that fascists hate. For example, whether trans athletes are better at sports is only relevant when it’s about prize money. We don’t need to be bullying kids for wanting to belong into a friend group.
And you’ll find plenty trans athletes that are simply less athletic than their cis counterparts, too. I’ll gladly serve as living proof that folks with a penis in their pants can be less athletic than folks with a vagina. That’s where the real source of conflict comes from, that women’s sports is a pretty arbitrary line to draw for opening up a second league. I do think women’s sports still has merit, because again, nuance. But I really don’t think that it’s worth ruining the lives of trans women.

In particular, if it’s 10 kids, you can absolutely look at each individual kid and find out 1) are they actually even good at sports? and 2) what’s their motivation for sport?

I would bet money that all ten of them are mediocre and really just want to live their lives like a normal kid.

We have a web-UI of medium complexity in Leptos at $DAYJOB and haven’t written a single line of JavaScript. Occasionally, you need to read the JS documentation on MDN, because the Rust code is generated like the JS, but that’s also why you don’t need to write JS, because there’s a corresponding Rust API.

I think the main reason why Word is losing mindshare, is because it was designed for paper. The whole formatting system makes the assumption that there’s a fixed width and height into which your text and images fit. In reality, a phone screen is a lot narrower and a widescreen monitor a lot wider.

Markdown never made these assumptions. For the most part simply because plain text reflows to fill whatever space you give it. But there’s no way to position an image either, I imagine mostly for simplicity’s sake. It can look goofy at times, but it never looks broken.
That’s why I can write this comment on my phone and someone else can look at it on desktop and it’s perfectly readable in both scenarios.
