Should they ship with no screen reader instead?

Because they're in the business of packaging, not necessarily fixing, not fundamentally.

So the real a-holes are probably the authors of the screen-reader, aren't they?

And I wonder why they are not fixing their stuff... Any insights on this?

@aral

That leaves me high and dry.

-1, cannot use without proper specification.

Ah, I see now (www.redecker.de/en/home-and-yard/dusters-and-dust-brushes/laptop-brush-460003) the black part is for massaging the dirt into the nooks and grannies of the keyboard.

Probably to provide a solid fossil record of our eat-at-work habits for future generations.

@aral

I have a question here: Can it be used with soap and water?

@aral

Though, seriously, what is the alternative? Profiting from burning the planet? Supporting the proud boys?

An unfortunately this is currently the only choice the US has.

It was the 2nd non-ad hit on DickDuckGo.

So assemblies by non-Germans are just permitted on sufferance ... which gives the police a lot of leeway do everything they want with assemblies by expatriates, fugitives, immigrants. Exactly the groups where you would anyway expect 100% neutral objectivity by German police.

@TCatInReality @aral

Which law exactly? No singing in foreign languages the police doesn't speak or understand?

@TCatInReality @aral

I'll answer to myself, since TCat doesn't know and rather wants to "move on" now, after I asked for chapter and verse of the law.

The rule in question seems to be the "Berlin Freedom of Assembly Act" (approx 2020) which, interesting enough, further constrains the right of assembly as guaranteed by the Grundgesetz. I stll have my doubts if a federal country can do that. But I'd like to point out that the GG Article 8 only guarantees the right of assembly to all _Germans_.

"I wonder what kind of reaction will this BSOD implementation get when it is rolled out in the near future."

Reaction: "Ok, time to go back to slackware. I have had it".

@ramsey @aral
Actually the problem (with so called "AI") is not indexing, but creating a derived work --- the model --- and thus violating copyright.

@arielcg @aral
no no, the part "the part where you burn money to attract more users while killing possible competitors" should read "the part where you burn money to summon a venture capitalist from the dungeon dimension". The pentagram on the floor is not optional.
