Person A: "What is speleology" Person B: "The study of caves. Here's a wikipedia link if you want to learn more." Person C: "Wikipedia isn't a reliable source@!@!!!!"
Me: I wish people would stop mistaking "don't use this as an academic source for citations in a paper" with "this is not a reliable source for getting an overview of what something is." For non-controversial topics, Wikipedia is rarely inaccurate, and controversial topics are typically flagged.
Under the law today, can websites get sued for not meeting A? AA? AAA? Or is it a self-policing kind of thing? As in, do legal departments just set their own targets based on their appetite for risk?
BTW I definitely see performance as an issue of access. If the CEO, the investors, and the developers are all using beefy desktops on fast connections, then they'll never notice what their less fortunate customers are experiencing on a hand-me-down Android phone or a busted laptop with a HDD. It's easy to miss performance problems if you're not paying attention to users with less money than you.
I wonder if one reason more websites aren't accessible/performant is because of the underlying business model. If investors are always screaming at you about growth, then you'll focus on feature, features, features, to the detriment of less salient virtues like performance, accessibility, security, etc.

@brainblasted@sesivany@federicomena Oh drat, I get "Error: The job that you were looking for either does not exist or is no longer open. Please look at the current job listings to see our available positions."
RH's HR is notoriously bad with new hires.
Sometimes positions evaporate too.
I've hit both of these issues before (both as a new hire & attempted transfers), as have many people in the company.
Sometimes it's just a matter of luck, timing, and/or perseverance.
Facebook Messenger still scans all messages, even with end-to-end encryption. Scanning is done locally on the device before text messages are sent and after received messages are decrypted.
With my phone, I have: - NextCloud for general syncing data around - KDE Connect (+ GSconnect) for one-off things, like remotely accessing my phone's various directories
Typical NFS stuff: - Plain old NFS on my personal laptop (for faster rsync'ing to back up photos)
This probably doesn't directly apply to you: - gvfs-nfs lets me access NFS shares as a user (without editing /etc/fstab) in Nautilus & other GTK-based apps
Today is Overshoot Day, the day where we as a species have used up the entirety of Earths Renewable resources and live on loans paid by the coming generations.
We as FLOSS enthusiasts can be part of a solution by designing not for an ever grander set of hardware, but for the reusage and improvement of OLD hardware. Making old refurbished stuff attractive again, or ways to repurpose it so it doesn't have to be thrown away.
I was wondering if it was some default that might be different, like an amplification multiplayer. Perhaps there's a tiny, undecernable bit of nosie, but when amped up, it becomes noticably hissy.
I figured dumping all the alsa settings (assuming there's a way to do this) for Arch and Fedora and comparing them might possibly show something.
