do you guys reckon I'd be an evil monster if I randomly trolled someone by setting their IDE to accept code completions whenever they hit backspace or delete?
you LLM users would have a hell of a wonderful time, I bet :)

hey pizza pizza, I know I'm using a browser extension to force a dark theme and all and that's probably why the text contrast is horrible
but would it kill ya not to overlap the image with it?

If you ignore the thick black outlines and the artifacts caused by anti-aliasing, text and icons in this screenshot genuinely do look better.

Did you know the Dark Reader browser extension also has a "light" reader mode? As in, instead of making light sites dark, it *should* make dark sites light.
Sorry, screen reader users - the only alt text *you* need is that this is completely and totally unreadable to even the most well-sighted

YouTube's player has gone further down the Material You accessibility disaster trend and now the player controls are *almost impossible* for me to see inside brighter videos. Argh.
*You* might be able to see the icons against those darkening overlays. I cannot.
Make! Them! Darker! Or opaque.

Yes. This is a color picker.
Yes. I wrote it.
It isn't finished and the UI doesn't look super polished.
But it works!
Hex entry, RGBA and HSV sliders, some preset colors, and mouse drag + mouse scroll to adjust the sliders.
In case you forgot, I'm blind.

I *cannot stress* how annoyed, pissed off, and frankly tired I am, at AI.
Google, *you should not be showing AI overviews for medical topics.*
I really do not want misinformation and disinformation about my blindness or its treatment floating around.
Oh, and by the way, I did the ThioJoe thing.

replacing MonoGame's MojoShader-based shader tool with my own, based upon dxcompiler and SPIR-V Cross
haven't fully integrated SPIR-V with the effect API yet but it BOOTS and it RUNS and it's a MOTHAFUCKING CUUUUUUUUUUUUBE!
