Do you have a couple accessibility experiences from engines you thought were good? Maybe not "compare" to avoid flame wars, but maybe some highlights.

It's called "support" and many companies pay for it to be provided by many of the major FOSS software producers; mileage with those services varying I'm sure. Making demands of indep producers? This "should" vocabulary I'm not a fan of. Maybe I'll write a blog post about all the things "others should do" and sure I will be heard? Sounds like there was plenty of extra time on the table for this author to make these office hrs to begin with

Efforts from non-experts would likely hamper a complicated project like a database. Even though the hypothetical denied efforts being earnest well-meant efforts, I can't suggest a riff to bands I like.

Github bowing to these requests is really disappointing. Makes me sad.

Actions are different from thoughts. We're judged/arrested when we do that. What people think, on the other hand, is immaterial to whether one should be happy or not.

If one is required to be concerned with not "being an asshole", how are risky ventures ever undertaken?

People forget how deep the hatred for Microsoft was at this time

Well then you're also "wrong" for 3 spaces. Student project, and spaces/tabs argument is for teenagers.

edit: root comment here is mentioning NULL checks and actually being helpful

I agree with your points, and there are a lot of constraints for running a wiki. Especially on a volunteer basis.

Indeed it is not free content, the volunteers that edited the UE4 wiki must be pretty disappointed. But Epic isn't broke and the vague reasoning they offer is insufficient to me and many others.

p.s. Coincidentally I am a daily user of AwesomeWM. Thanks for your efforts!

"security risk" - So they're just trying to hand-wave a bluff at a huge community of developers? No one believes this. edit: also I feel bad for this community manager having to lie and apologize

News flash: social media is garbage. What do you expect from these companies? It's just a private entity that makes its own rules about its own landfill of humanity. All of a sudden because anyone can make a post TikTok is obligated to preserve their rights? Not the case.

Not that this is a good thing. It's childish to be surprised and indignant about these companies' policies and behavior like they're your buddy or something.

Small players were never viable in the space. If they were people would care about, for example, Opera. Instead, probably 12-ish people care about Opera.

CyberCon ran by their Australian shillery; glad he stuck it to them

Conferences are nearly all in-person live ads, cloud ads disguised as talks, or tutorial talks so shallow a Googling is better.

Triple that for infosec industry.

A couple of these are new to me, appreciate you sharing.
