We do not provide evidence that:

This reminds me of @baldur's discussion (baldurbjarnason.com/2025/follo) of a similar issue:

“It’s next to impossible for individuals to assess the benefit or harm of chatbots and agents through self-experimentation. These tools trigger a number of biases and effects that cloud our judgement. Generative models also have a volatility of results and uneven distribution of harms, similar to pharmaceuticals, that means it’s impossible to discover for yourself what their societal or even organisational impact will be.”

The fact the #developer states they won't #support #Android because #PushNotifications on Android are "insecure" (in their opinion) is fallacious at-best.

More likely the developer simply doesn't want to invest the time or resources, completely ignoring the fact that Android has a 42% marketshare in the US.

Even worse? The developer tells android users to "just buy an
#iPhone".

Fuck 'em.

Since I released my new book "Escape from Tutorial Hell", I've realised that it could be valuable to students and teachers. To facilitate this, if you email books@troz.net from your .edu address, giving me your name, where you are studying, and what you are studying, I'll send you a discount code to get the book with a 10% discount.

If you're in the education space, please boost this post so I can get it to the right people.

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

Hice un Grabador multipista en Python! :3 Teniendo en mente proyectos como GarageBand, Logic o Ardour decidí crear mi propia interfaz para grabar audio de mi computadora.

Lo veo más como un "block de notas" musical, para ideas sencillas.

Es una primera versión ya que mostrar audio en Python me pareció super copmplejo e interesante. :pika:
