MostlyBlindGamerAto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Vibe coding is great for MVP'sEnglish2·6 days agoThe thing about low code is the successful products in that field have their blocks built by experienced teams. I’ve heard of setting up low code apps via LLMs and that almost makes sense. They can only do as much damage as a bad project manager cosplaying a solution engineer, scrapping the whole exercise isn’t too bad, and they can be a nice demo for the client.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•feat: Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md by numinit · Pull Request #15 · JiaT75/STestEnglish72·21 days agoI would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.

MostlyBlindGamerOPMAto Blind Main•Thoughts on the Revolution Identity came as a backup to the Ambutech SlimlineEnglish1·25 days agoThat makes sense. Like I said, I value the convenience and space saving nature of a folding cane, but I’m only in this situation at all because the cord broke.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Technology@beehaw.org•I’m Fighting for My Freedom Using Outdated TechnologyEnglish8·25 days agoThat would theoretically help, but do you suppose the people who make them use floppies would be magnanimously generous enough to offer two drives?
MostlyBlindGamerOPMAto Blind Main•Thoughts on the Revolution Identity came as a backup to the Ambutech SlimlineEnglish1·25 days agoI’m not in the US, but I’d go for that if I could. That’s the rigid cane, right? I like the flexibility of folding canes, but the super light weight would also be great.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.English3·29 days agoRight, here’s my rough process:
- Content in question
- Adjacent content
- Profile
- Recent history on subreddit
- Mod logs, notes, discussions
- Recent history elsewhere
- Check other websites and tools that already provide summaries on Reddit users
- Back to 3 with authors of adjacent content
Along the line, discuss with other mods in real time, off platform because Reddit is still not properly accessible.
Anywhere along the way I may feel confident to make a call and skip the rest.
And I only deal with a 30k sub…
That said, Reddit’s already filtering things for likely spam that just aren’t. I don’t have huge confidence in them and I don’t have any confidence in LLMs for this.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)English3·1 month agoI basically played good guy, reloaded a save to try a couple of alternatives near the end (including turning bad) then played full bad guy on New Game + which, let me tell you, was a wild ride, still reloading towards the end for a few more options.
All in all, something like 6 or 7 different endings. I love that the bad guy route doesn’t eliminate some sections but gives you alternative challenges instead.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•The perfect wrist rest / tenting setupEnglish5·1 month agoNice! Make sure you get the wrist massage purr system.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)English3·1 month agoIt’s so good! The story cop-out also adds to replayability. I played it twice over with minor reloads for about 4 or 5 different endings.
MostlyBlindGamerAto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots)English4·1 month agoIn general, yes, but like the original list, the name of the game is the spoiler. I’ll add some more info though.

Players like that are weird. Session 0, yes, yes, but we’re all suspending our disbelief, right?
MostlyBlindGamerMAto Blind Main•Ok for my more up to date tech inclined #blind people, is CCleaner still a valid tool, is it #accessible, and does it work with #NVDA? @mastoblindEnglish1·3 months agoTo uninstall a program with a pesky or broken uninstaller? I mean, that’ll work.
MostlyBlindGamerMAto Blind Main•Ok for my more up to date tech inclined #blind people, is CCleaner still a valid tool, is it #accessible, and does it work with #NVDA? @mastoblindEnglish1·3 months agoThe only reason for registry cleaning would be uninstalling stubborn programs. I like Revo Uninstaller for that.
MostlyBlindGamerOPAto Photography@lemmy.ml•[Discussion] Does nostalgic editing rob us of the documentary aspect of street photography?English2·3 months agoGood points! Stylized vs realistic is also decided with subject and composition, not just medium.
I hadn’t thought about re-editing in this context. That kind of flexibility leaves room for a later choice too.
MostlyBlindGamerOPAto Photography@lemmy.ml•[Discussion] Does nostalgic editing rob us of the documentary aspect of street photography?English2·3 months agoVery interesting. Yeah, the K1000 and friends are great for the fundamentals, developing and printing is as important to learn as cursive or touch typing.
Do pros recommend film for anything apart from learning or the vibes though? Yeah, I’ll only get a frame or two with my Pentax, but I could get 30 plus with the R10, let alone an a9. Aren’t these better tools of the trade?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photojournalist or a corporate photographer doing anything but digital, and I only see wedding photographers doing stylistic editing. Even that is actually going into staged photos, so documentary work seems to be very realistic.
My bank is continuously surprised that I understand this. It’s probably a bad sign.
