These companies are in bed with the government, you're not going to be saved by any legislation. Many people on this site supported Google censoring the Covid anti-vax idiots, but it should have made it very clear that Google was working at the behest of the government. They're in bed together; the government gets to do an end-run around the constitution, and Google gets to rely on special government privileges and protection. Win-win.

> Instead it is being used to make everything it touches worse.

Your bias is showing through.

For what it's worth, it has made everything I use it for, much better. I can search the web for things on the net in mere seconds, where previously it could often take hours of tedious searching and reading.

And it used to be that Youtube comments were an absolute shit show of vitriol and bickering. A.I. moderation has made it so that now it's often a very pleasant experience chatting with people about video content.

And shovelling leads to actual muscles in our arms. People said that calculators would be the end of mathematical intelligence too, but it turns out to be largely a non-issue. People might not be as adept at calculating proper change in their heads today, but does it have a real-world consequence of note? Not really.

My guess is that guys being replaced by the steam shovel said the same thing about the quality of holes being dug into the ground. "No machine is ever going to be able to dig a hole as lovingly or as accurately as a man with a shovel". "The digging machines consume way too much energy" etc.

I'm pretty sure all the hand wringing about A.I. is going to fade into the past in the same way as every other strand of technophobia has before.

But once an algorithm to drag the colours back in-gamut was applied, would the lost perceptual uniformity still be a problem practically speaking, with DCI-P3 monitors?

Very interesting. Is this just a limitation of our current hardware? How much of this problem would still exist if everyone had a wider gamut monitor, say full DCI-P3? That still doesn't cover the full gamut of Oklch, but would it make the problem practically disappear?

Let's ignore those people too. A master branch is just fine, and should offend nobody who has a real life to live.

If ipv6 ever becomes a thing, it'll make blocking all that much harder.

There was nobody named Sophie Wilson at the time the ARM ISA was being developed, and the reason the docu-drama was called Micro Men, is because there was nobody who appeared to be a woman amongst the key players at the time. It's not a good example of women's contribution to the field.

Just define Tab as 1 space, and they can be used interchangeably. Peace in our time.

FWIW, reader view in Firefox made it easy to read.

It's slightly worrying that they talk about its applicability in "smart terminals" rather than personal computers. I hope that's not them saying the quiet part out loud, about the future (or lack thereof) of personal computing.
