In the UK most copies are outlawed. There are explicit exceptions for things like internet caches and the transient copies made by routers. The fact the exceptions are needed shows how restrictive the law is.

And Windows apps had accessibility before computers had 25MB RAM in total. Accessibility is not the cause of bloat.

do any of these native GUI libraries provide just as rich accessibility experiences to disabled people?

If we mean native as in OS-specific GUI APIs built-in to the operating system, then yes. All of the browsers are abstractions on top of that. If we mean cross-platform GUI libraries for Rust I think your choices are like Dioxus (a webview), Tauri (also a webview), Slint (draws its own widgets), and maybe Fltk (draws its own widgets) with extensions?

Yes, yes they do. WXDragon for Rust, for example, provides quite good accessibility. And maybe accessibility would be better for frameworks like QT or DearImGUI if (1) people didn't act like the web was some paragon of accessibility (hint: it really, really isn't, not when websites misuse web APIs -- which happens quite frequently) and (2) UI framework developers didn't just make a UI framework that looked sexy but left accessibility on the floor.

What's oddly being ignored in this entire thread (so far, as of the time of writing) is that back in 2017-2018 Discord was an Electron app and was completely inaccessible. The web did not magically bring accessibility to the table -- we disabled people had to go yell at Discord to fix their shit, and even then it took them like 2-3 years, and even now Discord has some very very weird accessibility issues that will randomly crop up here and there.


We get it. You are saying that in the future there will only be mushrooms to eat and as a result everyone will enjoy mushrooms.

Now think about how much you hate mushrooms.

Do you see the problem with your argument?


Eutrophy is good! Atrophy is not.

In case anyone else was wondering:

TQQQ is the only ETF (Exchange-traded Fund) that targets 3x the daily returns of the Nasdaq-100 Index.

Ouch!


I don't think "whatever's cheapest" is a great foundation for a justice system.

Oxford University had its own police until quite recently.

It lists VPN, Proxy, Tor, etc. Presumably a minus sign in a circle means you don't have the thing?

I had same confusion for a second but the html does clear it up: yes, it means you don't have the thing.

  • I pinged the web team, they will work on something to make this more legible. (Edit: they have started work on this; if you have any other feedback, please let me know) — Abdullah | DevRel, IPinfo

    I don't know how you draw the line but to me there's a clear distinction between "you've fraudulently taken my money" and "this is shitty for everyone could you fix it please".

    Surely it will be better for the insurance companies. Higher costs lead to higher premiums and higher profits.

    That's not how insurance profits work. The profit is the spread between insurer income (premiums) and expense (repair costs).

    Right. But if BYD costs more to repair they'll charge higher premiums to cover that cost.

    Sortof. There's no guarantee they wouldn't lose customers/revenue if everyone started buying BYDs or NIOs... they could decline to insure those cars at all due to the high repair cost, or not cover all of it, and that affects more than just themselves.
