Yeah because I haven't been able to land a job as an autistic person with my degree (BS in electrical engineering) and (lack of) experience (six months of research). That and my age (late 20s) are really the only compelling reasons I can think of for not being able to land a job.

Yes because nobody will hire someone with disabilities and finding a job is incredibly difficult without disabilities.

Same boat here. Maybe it helps to know at least you're not alone. Fuck capitalism and fuck ableism for making it so hard for us to participate in their world.

If that happens then I swear to fucking God I'm done with YouTube forever.

Edit: i.e. if it breaks FreeTube, Invidious, Sponsorblock, etc. (because I'm already done with the main site forever) then I'm out. If the choice is between content vs no ads, I'll take no ads even if it means no content.

I can poop on the floor. But I bet you can too.

What is a QAZWSX keyboard (couldn't figure it out by web search), and what does keyboard layout have to do with machine learning? I'm genuinely curious.

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S , 1 month ago

Thanks for replying. It sounds like you basically get two (or some number well below one keys per character) keys and the set of possible characters gets somehow distributed between the two "real" keys, then the keyboard uses a predictive algorithm based on previous input to guess which keys were meant to be pressed.

IMO I'd be willing to try out an implementation of such an idea so long as I could run the predictive algorithm locally on my phone. I do think that current autocorrect + predicting which keys were pressed would require a lot more training data than just a generic autocorrect to get it working sensibly, and I think it would take a lot longer to converge to the user's "style" if it ever does.

Reddit --> Lemmy

Facebook --> fucking nothing lmao

YouTube --> FreeTube + Invidious [1]

Windows --> Debian [2] with KDE Plasma

Word --> LyX

Microsoft Office --> LibreOffice

Built-in phone music player --> Odyssey [3]

Firefox --> LibreWolf [4]

Adobe Reader --> Okular + Librera on Android

Default phone launcher --> KISS Launcher

[1] I prefer FreeTube on computers where I have it installed, but one of my family's jank 10-year-old work PCs can't handle it, so I'll typically watch videos in Invidious in LibreWolf on that computer.

[2] I can't recommend Debian for absolutely everyone since it prioritizes stability and predictability over new features and ease of use, but it's great for most of my use cases. I typically recommend Linux Mint for complete beginners.

[3] It handles extremely large music libraries (>100 GB of .mp3 files) without constantly taking forever to reload when I add a single new album.

[4] Firefox is pretty good and FOSS, but LibreWolf comes with better defaults and I'm a lazy fucker.

But like seriously, I have absolutely no idea what is going on with these images. Like bare-minimum context.

Actually, you might need an extra ticket in case you have access to a time machine and go back in time to watch the show a second time.

I have wildly more patience for Lemmy's glitches than I do for Reddit's. Lemmy's devs are working on a shoestring budget with just a few people trying to prop up a whole social network. The project is still pretty early in its life cycle.

Fuck ALL advertisements. Yes, even "unobtrusive" ones, especially yours. If I want your shit, I will find you. If I appreciate your shit, I'll pay you for your time. If you want to connect, I'm all ears. Otherwise, fuck off capitalists, fuck off advertisers, and fuck off useful idiots who want to waste my finite lifespan in this miserable universe showing me ads.
