I’m exhausted and kinda grumpy so I probably shouldn’t post this today but I will. We as blind people want to have our pictures described to us, which is great. But why then are we posting audio without descriptions of what the audio contains for those who can’t hear? We know what it’s like, so why are we passing that along to others? And we have plenty of characters so there’s no reason for links without any additional text. Too often we don’t think beyond ourselves.

Shit, i just realized. Remember Brandolini’s law?

> The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

LLMs becoming increasingly available has significantly lowered the cost of bullshit, making Brandolini’s Law obsolete, but not in the good direction…

But seriously, people who don’t support #open #standards, how are we gonna achieve a #StarTrek future where we can easily have video calls among ships from different planets and races, including #Klingons and #Romulan ships?

Do you think the #Ferengi created a video call app to unite races from all over the Universe and they’ll never take advantage of owning that app?

Would you trust the #Ferengi? Then why you trust the tech bros?
