  1. I've just seen an absolutely disgusting article. I said "seen", not "read", because I'm blind and I could not read it.
    for your reference, here's the first beautiful sentence of this article:
    "ffGE ARrj XRejm XAj bZgui cB R EXZgl, Rmi mjji jrjg-DmygjREDmI XgRDmDmI iRXR XZ DlkgZrj."
    I don't know the technology behind this BS, but screen readers see it as scrambled text, kind of encrypted or something like this. I guess it's some font juggling (ChatGPT supposed it's gliph scrambling, where random Unicode values are mapped to random letters — I'll trust her in this because I really don't care about the tech behind it), but if you have a tiny little grain of empathy, never ever ever do this, for goodness sake.

  2. #Goodbye #TopazLabs, has been a terrible time together. Your change to a subscription model with bribes for "Founding members" has been an inspiration to find alternatives and part ways.

  3. Not only does hot-desking make workers feel under-valued and disrespected, but it also reduces productivity. Every morning, at a new desk, I have to reset the positions of my various windows. And sometimes the mouse has a different sensitivity and I have to fix that, too.

    Like the one I've got today. I've got the mouse tracking speed maxed out, and it still feels sluggish. WTF?

  4. I just got an email from a journal inviting me to submit a paper for a upcoming special issue. Instead of asking me to say yes or no, it asked me to create an account on its web site and submit my yes or no through the web site. I said no by email. No to the paper, no to the web site.

    But at what cost?

    How many users have already been impacted?

    How about following the #OpenSource "Many Eyes" principles and have the community audit the Ai systems, outside of corporate controls?

  10. Penso el mateix que diu aquest paio. Digueu el que vulgueu de Google, almenys no et desanimen de descarregar altres navegadors quan fas cerques

    Com estalviarà exactament l'Edge temps i diners,

    Say what you will about Google, at least they don't discourage you from downloading other browsers when you search for them 😳 Yikes.

    How exactly will Edge save me time and money, …
