Yes, it is. Not everyone can see well enough to read text in images. For those who have that difficulty, describing the content of an image enables enjoyment of a joke that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Many people may not be aware that Twitter allows you to put alt text on an image so people using assistive technologies can get a description of the image. I encourage people to use this feature.
It's too bad their implementation of the feature is so poor [1], requiring it to be first enabled via accessibility settings [2] that most Twitter users probably never look at.
Yep. I was going to take a potshot at Twitter about how they must be feeling some competitive pressure from Mastodon if they need to rip off features, but it looks like Twitter has actually had this feature since some time in 2016, and I'm not sure when Mastodon added it.
Either way, anything that makes Twitter a little less awful is nice to see.
Yes, but it's Enterprise only. Everyone else is forced to act as Microsofts QA department, inplace of their long since dismantled actual QA department.
Been working fine for me since October 2018 for dual boot gaming & firmware updates. It will update to the latest version of LTSC when you start up.
Works with the latest hardware too, I am using it with a 5700xt (released last July, purchased in December) and a Ryzen 7 (also released last year). Only thing missing is the new Microsoft Store, if you search for it there's a repo on github which will let you install it.
For all the Windows 10 ISOs you need to use Rufus instead of normal dd/cat the ISO to a USB stick (doesn't work with dd/cat). Rufus works in a VirtualBox VM with USB passthrough. During the setup, select that you don't have a license key and then activate it later as mentioned in that post.
They do. Since Microsoft already puts all the effort into maintaining this branch, why the heck isn’t it available to normal consumers who want it? Heck, why do they keep telling enterprises to pretty pretty please not use it?
Is Microsoft concerned users would like it too much? Maybe that’s a sign that their constant feature updates aren’t actually desirable and they should back off.
It’s really not bad. It is a change. You might consider keeping it enabled for a couple of weeks and see if you still hate it so much after the new wears off.
I barely noticed it even after reading HNers whine about it. They said it covered other UI components. In reality it grows a few pixels. I wouldn't have noticed it had I not read HN, that's for sure.
I still legitimately don't see what people are describing about the address bar. I haven't noticed a change the entire time I've used Firefox (about year). Could someone post a before-and-after screenshot or something? (I've been using Firefox Developer Edition too if that makes a difference?)
More broadly I am just wondering if this submitted link to 'Make Linux Fast Again' is just relevant. Let me explain:
- For tech savvy people, the boot options disabling the spectre mitigation are a very poor information as it takes 2 secs to find it with google. A 'rich' information would also consider the expected gains in terms or performance and the risks in terms of security, which might be the only matters for people who wonder if they should do it, assuming that making the change by itself is an easy and fast operation.
- For non tech savvy people, the boot options mean nothing at all, so they will not be able to benefit about the information as nothing is explained.
So if this submitted link is useless for both tech-savvy and non tech-savvy people, who is it intended to ?
If it is intended and useful to no one, is it relevant ?
