Why would you rate service quality by SEO performance? There's almost nothing you can do to make high quality information avilable to search engines while being drowned out by an infinite flood of garbage.

Putting aside the ideological discussion about software licenses, saying that "they" are forcing Rust into the Linux kernel is a bold claim when Linus Torvalds clearly doesn't mind the inclusion and even encourages it for example in driver code, at least as an experiment.

The internet would be a much quieter place if people were forced to have a minimal amount of insight into the topic they're posting about. I guess what really annoys me is when popular blogs like this one deliberately frame something they don't like in a way that makes it look worse to people who don't know any better. There are very few people calling this shit out, be it on lemmy or the comments of the article itself. They even lied about FL1 being "bullet-proof" and "unaffected" by this bug, when it clearly wasn't, according to Cloudflare - the primary source of this shitstain of an article.

I swear some of these commenters will jerk each other off about how "Rust is bad, actually" even if the root cause of an issue was someone intentionally crashing their app. Where do you even get this kind of attitude from? I've been around when Rust was the popular topic in any programming-related discussions and while there was plenty of evangelism and CS-101 experts making wild claims, nothing warrants this kind of irrational hatred. I thought you need to go to the phoronix forums to find people who have such loud opinions with very little actual programming experience, but apparently I was wrong.

There are good reasons to have unwrap or at least expect. There is no reason to use it in the case that Cloudflare used it in.

Bait 😔

Chemical burns might make for a decent distraction maybe?

I don't blame people for thinking that something is off after reading the linked blog post. This wouldn't be the first time Google does something like this to OSS that poses some kind of potential threat to their business model (this is also mentioned in the post).

He sometimes gets downvoted for it.

Rightfully so.

I think you're just being contrarian for no reason. The market for specialty input devices is much smaller compared to "normal" keyboards but it still exists and has become much more diverse over the past decade, with many new niche products being launched. This isn't even the first commercially available chorded keyboard. From the video, this particular iteration seems to be marketed towards mute people and I'm sure that they or people with other kinds of disabilities are probably glad to have any products at all available to aid them in daily tasks. Not every product or company needs to participate in a high volume market. Apparently, the chorded inputs can also be reprogrammed and it can work in a normal keyboard mode, which should make it more flexible than something designed purely for stenography.

Yes, the most important concern with accessibility devices: "Does it make me look attractive?"
