Wie seht ihr das eigentlich, mögt ihr lieber den richtigen Kartoffelsalat oder den Falschen?

Kartoffelsalat ist nur richtig mit:

oh my god

i bought a witchcraft book that was written in the 90s and oh man it does NOT disappoint

Vorschlag: Einwöchiger IT Kongress, der Chaostage heißt.

Schlage Hannover als Austragungsort vor.

Electron apps are not really apps, they are just web pages with rudimentary heavy-weight browsers included.

If you are about your users' well-being, please, don't use Electron in your project. Using more than 300 MB of RAM and slowing down the whole system just to edit a small text file or send a chat message is a sin.

Thank you.

@clacke Yeah, it's kind of become a pet peeve of mine the past few years, since the research is pretty clear. Most of the well-kown dyslexia fonts were not even made by type designers (and I don't mean to go elitist there, I just mean it's a hobbyist thing and not a professional thing) much less tested. The desire to help is understandable, but there are no easy solutions.

@n8 Wow, this was a very enlightening read. I had no idea. Thanks.

> The important thing to know is that the research that led to the publicity of dyslexia fonts was preliminary. It didn’t meet the standards of rigorous research. For that, the research would have used controlled, randomized studies that were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The studies also would have been replicated by other researchers.

> Since then, however, there have been three solid, peer-reviewed research studies on these fonts. They were done in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Together they conclude that the Dyslexie or Open Dyslexic font have no measurable benefits or deliver any reading gains.

A pearl from Saturday's protest against the proposed EU #copyright reform.

It says "Hello, I am the political advisor of Axel Voss."

"Free Wifi" oder "Freies WLAN" liest man immer öfter. Was mich freuen würde, wäre, wenn es "Bedingungsloses WLAN" wäre.

Merkt euch: das "unser" in dem Satz steht nicht etwa für "uns Deutsche" oder für "uns Alle", sondern für "uns alte, weiße Männer".
Bekämpft solche Politiker mit der effektivsten Waffe: geht wählen. Wählt sie weg. Geht auf die Straße. Seid laut.

"The Hottest Chat App for Teens Is … Google Docs" by Taylor Lorenz https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/03/hottest-chat-app-teens-google-docs/584857/

Side note: how does Taylor Lorenz figure all this stuff out? Does she hang out with high-school kids? Does she have kids herself, and do their classmates warily regard them as snitches who might spill their secrets to adults who read The Atlantic?

Oh good lord there is a guy trying to talk to me about Linux seriously and no never nope. I'm a masochist, not an idiot.
