Just to be clear, this is about computers, not about failing. Though lbr, computers were a mistake.

"only a poor artisan blames his tools" is such bullshit, in almost every imaginable line of work the quality of the tools you have access to plays a massive role in the quality of the end product, sometimes in excess of the role played by individual skill! For example, some people have to code in javascript

I SAW THIS IN THE PORTLAND ART MUSEUM! ITS HUGE!

it shimmers like no gemstones i've ever seen: green as malachite and emerald but shot through with opal, gold, copper. photographs can't do it justice because of how it shines, as well as the way the actual material elements have their own dimensions. you can lean in and study all the fine lines of the circuits or step back and admire how the rearranged whole forms new patterns. it's one of the most beautiful creations i've ever seen.

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

you know what's funny is I've never in my life had an account hacked because someone guessed my password but I have had my information compromised because of the shitty cybersecurity of organizations like this one that insist I make a permanent account and store my personal information with them indefinitely so that I can make a single purchase or pay a single bill or apply for a single job I won't even get at least a dozen times in my life

There are people in the notes who don't understand how passwords work, don't listen to them. OP's take is valid.

my only issue with the alt text is that with all caps, some screen readers will read each word as an acronym and spell it out. other than that - ignore that person lol

yeah that's a legit concern that i debated editing it over. i kept it because i'd already typed it all up and none of the ones i tested had a problem with it, and if someone is determined enough to be on tumblr with a braille terminal maybe that would add to their experience. i don't know if any of the more advanced text-to-speech voices have figured out how to handle emphasizing all-caps, i know the edge AI voices still haven't. it's one of a million little things that annoys me about web standards around screen readers. maybe i want screen readers to hear a little sparkle noise specifically when they hit a sparkly gif divider. maybe i want the robot to read some sentences with reverb. there is no way for the screen reader user to experience the equivalent of opening a website and discovering that it's full of valuable information that the creator has chosen to convey in hot pink comic sans and i think that's a shame.
