  • I think there’s place for polite lobbying and there’s place for direct action. Just as a statistic of people using smartphones when driving can be a an indicator of increase of reckless driving or whatever, the number of destroyed cameras can be an indicator of societal dissatisfaction and pressure. It’s just a matter of how the data is presented and by whom.

    BTW, I was under some financial pressure a few years ago and stopped donations to a NGO that opposes invigilation, your post served as a reminder to start it again.










  • That’s kind of the point of the frameworks though? Electron apps suck not only because of resource footprint, they don’t look and feel native, if they have any accessibility it’s usually custom and different for every program. Too much customization is bad.

    I remember the times before UI toolkits took over. These programs had soul and were beautiful in their own way, but you had to learn how UI elements worked in each of them separately. The same thing happens with web apps now. Tab and the other usual keyboard shortcuts rarely work, controls are all custom.
