Would pay to be able to turn off the AI stuff in “Teams (work or school)”. It's uneccessary, wasteful and nonsensical.

“Over events in your ankle”? Sorry, what?

@hdv “Designed to Mar a new colour result” is almost poetry.

Natürlich sind all die LLM und KI Tools Ressourcenfresser. Sie haben aber auch alle Potential die Welt und Arbeitsbedingungen zu verbessern. Und alle die sich jetzt nicht aktiv damit beschäftigen und denken sie haben die Weisheit mit Löffeln gefressen und ihr ach so toller "Backend" Job oder "Frontend" Job oder auch einfache Musik oder Zeichenaufgaben wären nie ersetzbar, werden dann halt in spätestens 10 Jahren dumm aus der Wäsche gucken. Ich versuche wenigstens steuernd dabei zu sein. #KI 🤷‍♂️

@holger Mein Job wird schon seit 20 Jahren “in wenigen Jahren” durch Tools und “KI” ersetzt. Ich kann kaum darauf warten. (Weil, dann wäre die ganze Welt Barrierefrei. Ich hätte nichts dagegen.)

Und klar zum Reproduzieren von dem was eh mehrheitlich vorhanden ist sind LLMs super. Aber ist das was uns weiter bringt? Oder ist das das was einbetoniert was wir jetzt haben. Was bringt es mir, wenn LLMs zeichnen können und dann sieht alles nach Pixar aus? Klingt langweilig.

@holger Wie gesagt, wenn das kommt, dann kommt das. Ist voll OK. Solange ne “AI” aber nicht mal einfachste googlebare Infos zusammenbekommt bin ich skeptisch. Da können auch Hochglanzproduktpräsentationen nichts dran ändern.

Und ich nutze LLMs z.B. für Transkripte und Grammatik.

Aber alles was ansatzweise generativ ist is einfach nur enttäuschend und/oder derivativ. Vielleicht in 20 Jahren.

One thing I noticed on the VW ID.3:
The power consumption is quoted in “kWh/h” (kilowatt-hours per hour), which offends my scientific brain.

It’s just kilowatts, surely?

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@matthew On Volkswagen.co.uk it seems to be quoted as “14.9kWh/62 miles”, the relation to a distance makes sense and is usually what you see with electric cars.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@matthew Yes, that’s basically horse power, and I have never seen that referred in kWh/h but only in kW? Weird!

Oof, wondering what to do about my site settings.

I'm using the :has CSS selector to enable different page styles based on input elements being checked. This lets me create options like manually setting light/dark theme instead of following the OS/browser setting.

Using JavaScript, I also save the input elements' value to local storage in a way where I can sync them across the site.

But I'm not sure how to display them. Or whether to display them.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@sarajw @cvennevik I just write the values in local storage using JavaScript. The settings panel is in a native dialog.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@cvennevik @sarajw Feel free to look at my code if you want. (It’s not very good or documented 😂)

For me the setting on the site is a progressive enhancement over the OS setting that I also respect. You preference might be different of course.

Just rewatched Sweden’s Eurovision entry, which has a lot of strobing lights and flashing with i(Pad)OS’ Dim Flashing Lights setting turned on. It’s very interesting how this setting can compensate somewhat for the flashing but also clearly misses the mark sometimes.

(And of course it would be better if there were no strobing lights or flashes in the first place.)

Power bricks have far more utility (and yes, more plastic) than stickers, but we were told to get over losing the bricks in iPhone boxes. Now, the pundit class has a collective sad over stickers. Deal with it, boys.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@Rich @Shelly @pixelate If you buy a phone to replace a phone, you can use the charger of the previous phone. You have one charger. If a charger is in the box, touch now have two chargers for one phone. One charger ends up in electronics recycling (I hope we’re past the point of throwing electronics into landfills). (1/2)

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

Plus the new charger has to be produced, which uses plastic and resources. The packaging gets bigger, which means you can ship x% less phones per volume. Less phones per volume means more environmental impact per phone for transport.

This impact quickly adds up when you produce/ship hundreds of thousands of units.

Buying a charger only when needed is a positive. (2/2)

Gab's vor Beginn dieser Geschichte eigentlich ne Warnung des @NDR für Menschen, die Blitzlichter nicht gut vertragen wie beispielsweise Epileptiker?

New blog post: "Best intention barriers (ARIA edition)"

In my experiences as an auditor (for WCAG and EN 301 549) I stumble over a large number of barriers. Heck, my job is to find and to help the website developer and owner to get rid of them to make their web project more inclusive and – in the truest sense of the word - accessible. But there is a certain type of barrier that are more, well, tragic than others.

I didn’t super like the Apple ad, but I also don’t get the outrage. My interpretation was “compresses all the tools into the iPad”, but I agree that the shown destruction was too much. But… that’s basically all there is to say.

Also, looks like the ad worked when people are talking about it. 🙃

I feel guilty because Polypane is still on Chromium 122, two versions behind current. I'm blocked by an Electron bug and it feels like I'm falling behind.

The most up-to-date competitor just now updated their Chromium to ...120 (which came out Dec 2023)

Maybe I fret too much.

My twelve days away from “work work” end after the weekend, but my stress levels are still at 11.

I’m so bad at relaxing these days. Even if I don’t do anything or do enjoyable things (Hiking, Lego, watching TV), it’s all stressful.

I don’t know what to do, and I guess this is all burnout-consequences still after many years.

sigh, exhausted

I have started to build new things, but being tired and unmotivated is an obstacle. Breaking this viscous circle is tough. But, that said, thanks for all the support I have, I’m lucky that I have it. (2/2)

I think one of my source for frustration this week is the realization that I won’t be able to get some of my sources of energy back from before the (2020) pandemic as the world is still and will for a long time be inaccessible for me.

I’m good at leaving previous lives behind me, discarding them like an old t-shirt, never to be looked at again. Sometimes I think back at them fondly, but in reality it only matters what you do now. (1/2)
