👏 @estark37@twitter.com debunks the “people will always click ‘yes’ when asked” myth—especially interesting in the context of Project Fugu 🐡 is the part on permission prompts: https://emilymstark.com/2020/07/14/debunking-the-users-always-click-yes-myth.html#prompts-that-arent-warnings. Hopefully we can expose more data on prompts in the @ChromeUXReport@twitter.com.

@porsupah yeah it’s always been about what he saw as electability stuff, which he tied to the economy over all else. Not realizing you can’t have an economy if we’re all dead.

@Balina so this makes a lot of sense, and also explains why I was briefly but very into hyper before I ended up settling into more comfort with nullification/neutrois instead.

@mod oh dang I had no idea Perl 6 had been renamed. Maybe this will make it seem more like a reasonable language to learn and not a compatibility-breaking joke.

Good post. It's worth thinking about whether permission prompts are actually good enough.

@Kye I've been really impressed with my Intel NUC, although I haven't done anything GPU-heavy with it.

@Kye Ah, and maybe the ARM ones will be significantly cheaper or a better option comes along in the meantime.

@Kye You might want to wait for the ARM ones to come out, since it's unknown how long the Intel ones will continue to get updates but it probably won't be 10 years

TERFs

Today I was reminded that Nina Paley is a TERF, and in trying to look it up I found that she actually has an entire category on her blog called “TERFy” so I mean she isn’t even denying it, she’s proud to be one.

I regret ever giving her money for Sita Sings the Blues even though even at the time I thought she was being disingenuous about her copyright stance (and since then I feel like she’s made free culture her Thing for duplicitous reasons)
