Eventually, the work of fascist discourse is to destroy the utility of language altogether. One of the ways AI is a fascist tool is by destroying the reliability or usability of the image, of video, art or photograph

And don't reuse passwords! As always, the password managers I recommend are 1Password if you need usability and Bitwarden if you need free, but most any of them will work fine and be a significant security improvement!

a word on Linux usability out of the box.
Ubuntu came along in 2004-2005 and set a new standard for Linux desktop usability. It was just ridiculously better at fixing the paper cuts - stupid little things that shouldn't even be a problem.
I was on FreeBSD at the time and moved to 5.04 […]

I understand the impulse to speak up in defense of Itch as they take a lot of unwarranted shit but I don't see what is gained by behaving as though this whole situation isn't an extremely predictable comms fuckup exacerbated by a rapidly-mounting platform usability crisis. They earned this response

Good news everyone! I put the Cheshire Cat on the bike, gave a finish line (and procgen level maker), ten good “ease you into it” levels, and some usability improvements (color the border for w direction).
It’s human playable!

Kann sein, aber die Usability ist Schrott. Ich bin 44, ich werde jetzt keine neuen Tastatur-Kombinationen und Benutzeroberflächen-Layouts mehr lernen. Und ich fand gerade die Office-Anwendungen (die nutze ich halt am meisten) einfach nur super scheiße und unpraktisch zu nutzen.

my old laptop was a windows 8 SKU that HP had slightly upgraded to make it reach the minimum for Windows 10. Awful computer. Easily 20 minutes from boot to usability. I installed fedora on it and now it's fast and zippy and solid. still kicking, 11yrs after manufacture

Then they'd better get started then, shouldn't they? This is clearly a fundamental threat to the usability and longevity of Itch as a platform, so I would think they treat it with the same speed and severity with which they addressed adult content...

I'm wondering if the model was trained that "Explanations = usability" like they were trained that "comments = readability" for code?

if LLMs had actually transformed software engineering instead of being a nicer UI in front of outsourcing that hides the minutiae we would see people shipping more high quality software faster. instead basically all software is buggier and of worse general usability (ui/ux) than four years ago. hmmm

the bonkers thing about LLMs is we have had many years of "tell the computer to do something" and everyone accepts some amount of learning curve to use literally any machine at all. you learn to ride a bike. you learn to drive a car. usability development has always been about narrowing that gap.

So far most keys seem to have recovered some of their usability, but space keeps double clicking and sometimes it sticks until I pry it up with a finger nail 😬
