A dialectic of master and servant
‘In a fortnight, I created an application from A to Z that works and holds up. I'd never written a line of code before!
Vibe coding: telling the chatBot what the program should output and then use the code as a product.
The resulting code is verbose, buggy and difficult to maintain. Commisioning a work avoids understanding how the program works. It pulls your autonomy away.

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]
#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:
Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:
DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKING PHONE CALLS?
Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?
You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!
Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.
Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.
So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???
NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...
Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...

Today is Global #Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).
"The power of the #Web is in its #universality. Access by everyone regardless of #disability is an essential aspect."

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative @wai develops technical #specifications, #guidelines and supporting resources that describe accessibility solutions.

@dumpsterqueer am still learning myself, so here's two trusty MDN pages on it:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Howto/Use_data_attributes
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/data-*#specifications
so, maybe this bit,
<\main data-nosnippet class="thread"\>
could start a cascade of custom data-* attributes that ID each part of the post?
it takes a bit more thought about structure but i feel it unclutters the resulting CSS from unused classes (though data-* can be used in JS/CSS functions).
