I think the overuse of marking images on Mastodon as sensitive, is harmful. It creates a default action of clicking the image. If an image was actually sensitive, e.g. it displays death, torture, nudity, etc., a Mastodon user is likely to reflexively click on it without thought, and be exposed to something they would have preferred not to.
@thegibson Necrophelia became illegal in the state of Florida based on the actions of one of my neighbors.
Anyway no big deal but here's a demonstration of Mozilla's serverless. client-side-only live text translation technology.
@rgegriff Many of the techniques implemented on a mobile OS could also be beneficial to a desktop OS. An OS that is more efficient will allow us to do more on less powerful machines and give our laptops a longer battery life.
I'm also a fan of resource access going through a security layer, where the user can block access to certain hardware (GPS), or limit its access. The way each application runs effectively as a container, walled off from the rest of the system, provides additional security.
@nex3 The same is true for computer-to-brain interfaces. The conduit just happens to be your eyes, ears, and hands to get the information to your brain, and then respond back to the computer.
If anyone else was having problems with Ea-nasir selling you low quality copper ingots over 3,500 years ago, and being rude to your servant, you are not alone. My friend Nanni has filed a complaint and exercised against him his right of rejection.
@rgegriff I think that most of this can be overcome with practice. Classical (nylon string) guitars have thicker necks, if that's what you are into (I am). Bass guitars also have a lot more room between the strings, but bass isn't generally something you would play alone.
I've never felt so personally attacked by the actions of #Apple as this.
