我和台湾朋友打uber。上车以后司机问朋友：Are you Chinese?
朋友：No! I am Taiwanese!
司机：Ahh i am so sorry. For sure Taiwan is Taiwan.
我：I am Chinese.
司机：（沉默）
司机：You know, I am just a Uber driver…

I wish more people understood that being accessible does not simply mean "if you come we have someone to help you". It means that someone with a disability can access your place or service in the same way as an able-bodied person.

FYI, when a website erases your text that you just spent an hour writing, you can use this little trick to recover it 99% of the time:

1. find the firefox pid

$ pgrep -l firefox

2. attach gdb to firefox and dump its core

$ sudo gdb <pid>
gcore firefox.dump
<this takes awhile>
quit
<firefox dies>

3. find your lost text in the coredump

$ strings firefox.dump | grep "a unique word/sentence from ur text"

i just did this today to recover a long post i wrote, and figured i'd show others!!

操作系统角色扮演小游戏：

你现在要扮演一个进程调度器，目标是尽可能公平地调度进程并且高效利用cpu和ram资源。

- 点击左上角响应IO事件
- 左侧上下分别是运行中的进程和等待中的进程，点击对应的方块使其停止或继续运行。
- 右侧上方是内存中的页，下方是磁盘上的页，点击这些方块可以将内存页swap in/out
- 运行中的进程需要对应pid的内存页在RAM中，否则就会在CPU上空转。
- 如果没搞好的话用户就会觉得卡砸键盘，game over。

用Whisper官方的模型跑了一下中文的语音识别，结果很奇怪，时不时会识别出“请不吝点赞订阅转发打赏支持明镜与点点栏目”，而且对应的音频位置都没有声音，再看结果又识别出一些“中文字幕由xxxx提供 ”的文本。突然意识到他们应该用了大量油管视频的音频字幕，所以会在没有声音的地方会加这种字幕内容，结果整个模型都训脏了...变成在没有声音的片段随机投放广告了otz

As entertaining as fediblock drama is, it's also fucking ridiculous.
I'm seeing thousands of online relationships harmed over a snubbed friendship request between two admins, ffs....

A few days ago I learned about grub theming and this is where it got me.

Mocking Google for their totally-not-an-attempt-to-DRM-the-Web is the right thing to do.

Open issues on the proposal repo and let them know what you think.

Politely.

But, don't be fooled. Even if they take this back, it doesn't change how they think. This is their intention. They just failed to slip it by this time.

The answer is to take power away from Google. Stop using their stuff. Build alternatives. It's not easy, but it's the only way.

And mock them. That's always fun.
