Normally I would be all for peer reviewed, but this is a fantastic example where that’s a stupid fucking metric.

Comic sans existed before efforts to formally make a dyslexic assistance font.

Comic sans has been casually recommended by many dyslexic communities and assistance programs because sans serif fonts are helpful and fonts with unique letter shapes are helpful.

Comic sans for many years was one of the only fonts that fit both categories. But by the time formal efforts went into place, comic sans quickly became unneeded in the space. There’s no reason at all TO do a formal study on it when it was never intended for the use case.

What studies there are in fonts from the time lean towards it being helpful for reading speed and understandability in children. But none of the studies of the error really focused on dyslexia so at best you can only infer based on adjacent findings it even then it’s loose at best.

Point is just because something doesn’t have formal research on it doesn’t make it not true and that years of casual helpfulness just vanish.

So get off the little petty wagon where you hate something just because it’s overused. Comic sans is a useful and fun little font that just gets over used.

It existed before dyslexia specific fonts existed and there was a dedicated effort to create them.

It became popular early on for dyslexia because it just happened to be really useful for dealing with the issue.

Compared to a specific font designed for dyslexic people it doesn’t hold a candle to it. But that doesn’t make it bad for the job either there’s a reason it got popular for that usage in the first place.

For like a good 10 years it was basically the only good option. Nowadays there are just much better ones and anyone still using comic sans I would hope it’s just using it for silly things.

Fluxer is chill. Honestly if you just want VoIP like you just plop down on a couch and talk to people. The only other thing I can think of that I could honestly recommend would still be mumble.

It’s simple because one job really well it’s easy to use and it doesn’t get in the way.

But if you want something that is a bit more discord like and relax then yeah fluxer is really about the only good option at the moment.

All the matrix b******* nonsense at people love to talk about is really good… As a replacement for like Microsoft teams…

Are you even replying to the right guy? I fucking hate the god damn data centers. Where in the world did you even get that from?

What part of basically asking for a lynching over Data centers do you not understand?!?

I’m actually fucking baffled right now.

Piefed is just lemmy. But minus the tankie devs. Otherwise same shit different day.

I believe a porn ban entire point would be to have no mast wouldn’t it

Frankly im absolutely fucking baffled no ones tried this before. It seems like such a no brainer way to cause actual damage and problems. I dislike that someone has finally thought about it tho.

Better question, why not joan of arc?

The entire damn point of the three laws is that they don’t work and cause more harm then good… The paradox of the laws is the whole point!

When the people are beaten down they do tend to stop caring when the servants of those doing the beating are hurt.

It’s just the natural social pressure pushing back on people who willing join those that society sees as harmful.

We have a odd dissonance to forgive those who allow the abusers to abuse. Just because of a degree of separation and the fact for most of us we have to give up that moral line to make a living and survive.

We don’t want to blame our selfs so we don’t blame others. While also becoming apathetic to their suffering and thus not only our own but much of our peerage.

It’s a problem.

Power of Ethernet?

A brand new phone should cost at most 499 US. anything beyond that is good damn stupid.

Not having it support tap to pay basically makes it a non starting for selling it.

The amount of stupid selling a phone with out that feature, while the same phone other times it works basically would just cause endless problems.

Yes people are that stupid

But arnt companies people. Isn’t that the whole hobby lobby thing that happened years ago?

To be fair I was more thinking about it in the context of the era it was everywhere. So the late 90s to very early 00s if I recall?

Which I want to say was before much of the actual effort to make better options.

I probably should have prefaced that. That’s my bad.

We haven’t really valued hard work in a long time here in the good ol us of ass sadly. ):

Every process that is a byproduct of good ol capitalism is harmful. If that’s our line in the sand then why are we even using computers.

Half of ais harm is caused exclusively by large businesses for the purpose of selling people ai.

The other half is purely legal bullshit copyright nonsense thats stupid regardless.

Large corporations need to fuck off, their data centers shut down and the ceos hung by their toes over a pit of lava.

But the rest of the argument is wrapped to tightly into the bullshit that is modern copyright for me to give a flying fukk about.

If we had a reasonable copyright system I would lean more towards understanding the outrage but as it is. Meh

Eh Iv heard stupid things then combat juice. At least I’m laughing at how dumb combat juice is.

But yeah this is shovel ware 101. The only people calling it innovation are smoking something way too strong for them.

Claude has a fetish for making unit tests and excessive testing. Unsure if that’s a bad thing. But boy does it waste electricity.

The robots would probley be better off with out us. We would probley be better off with out them. Its a two way street.
