I’ve been saying this for years. Perceived justice/punishment is not worth the lives of thousands of innocents.

I think you got that wrong. If anyone should leave, it’s fascist sympathizers.

Computers being math, and the human sense of touch being pretty dang sensitive, means that other peripherals than screens, can represent that nuance required to reverse engineer, or anything else relating to computer code.

I am genuinely interested in what’s available today on that level - the last I checked, it was still Braille displays, and those were not good for much beyond text.

There are blind programmers, I am very much aware, and I could definitely see myself still enjoying development would I not be able to see. But for myself, I always assumed I would need someone else with normal eyesight to debate the algorithms and help me implement.

The term for what you are doing and which isn’t something that requires malice, is ableism.

Aren’t you jumping to conclusions now? I never made any comments about her skill, I expressed - poorly worded, I now admit - my curiosity. But the answer I was expecting was “yes, she is visually impaired but she did all of this anyway”, which would be all the more impressive. You do agree it is harder to work on graphics drivers as a visually impaired person, don’t you?

[…] just from a critique based on perception of facial features from a picture

Let me quote my original comment verbatim:

She has this out-of-focus look that makes it seem like she’s visually impaired or blind - but I guess then she wouldn’t be working on graphics drivers, of all things?

Where / how do you read any form of critique into that?

Definitely interesting, but also relatable - I mean we have mathematicians and physicists doing (useful) calculations in 4D and higher, and I bet most of them can’t picture a 4D space :)

My bad I didn’t think about the transmission. I somehow silently assumed they’d bite, lay eggs, bite again, lay more eggs.

I didn’t conclude anything, I speculated. Because it’s relevant to graphics driver engineering.

Well - I don’t want to overanalyse it. It was really only curiosity in combination with graphics driver development.

Yes, I do know that, but it’s more complicated doing it all in your head. Hence my curiosity. Also, specifically reverse engineering requires trial & error and visual cues in the output to assess the result of an attempt. Having to do all that with visual aids would be a lot more difficult.

As if you don’t know where the camera is. People with normal vision will typically look straight at the camera, or focus on some object behind the camera. And since blind people don’t see where the camera is, their eyes sometimes (often) appear to be looking unfocused. You can’t tell where their gaze goes because they are not gazing at anything. This is what the two photos (this one and wikipedia) look like and why I was curious.

That’s fascinating. Have you got a link with further info on that?

Oh dear, some people got triggered. I was genuinely curious. My bad for speaking face to face with quite a few blind people over the years and recognizing a similarity.

She has this out-of-focus look that makes it seem like she’s visually impaired or blind - but I guess then she wouldn’t be working on graphics drivers, of all things?

Fuck yourself, thanks :)

Pretty sure most mosquitoes bite once, then lay eggs. Must have been multiple.

Interesting how that goes, innit? Nazis and fascists happily supporting Russian & Chinese campaigns to destabilize Europe.

You misspelled “fuck religions”. Because surely you are not a hypocritical sad little bitch…

We needed to bring out pitchforks and torches to dethrone the ultra wealthy like… 30 years ago.

Merz is an opportunistic little bitch too fucking dense to understand when he’s being the useful idiot.

Github is microslop, a company who supports a fascist regime. So no, worst choice.
