Newsletter: Crypto traders are spending millions of dollars on TRUMP memecoins to buy access to the president at an upcoming private dinner, exacerbating existing ethics concerns. 73% of the attendees are likely not American, only adding further concerns over foreign influence.

Designers: want to build better and more inclusive products? Start with accessibility — not as an afterthought, but from the mockup stage.

It’s 2025, and most design resources still reduce accessibility to “color contrast.”
Sure, contrast matters. But that’s just the start.
Designers can do so much more, and we should.

I’m running a remote, hands-on Accessibility for Designers workshop this June with @smashingconf
Details and discount link below 👇

My reply:

The AI doesn't have access to your internal thoughts to translate from.

If I ask an AI to translate a book, but I keep the book closed, and it can only look at the cover, it can't translate it unless it already knows its contents.

It can guess, but that's not the same.

So, it's true that communication is largely, even primarily, translation between different mediums of information. Even your thoughts to the words from your mouth is translation.

But it's fully strange to say that AI generating thoughts "for you" is "translation" from a source material you cannot examine.

This is like the weird thing of an "AI representation of a deceased defendant" appearing in court.

What absolute, dangerous nonsense. Complete misunderstanding of life, ideas, communication.

Strange reply about AI, continued:

> in this sense what people do with LLMs is not meaningfully different from translation, in fact it is all translation between idiolects and sociolects, colloquial dialects and prestige dialects. there's no linguistically sound distinction between these forms of translation.

(ok, now to refute it)

I got a really strange reply on Bluesky, and I think it's worth quoting, because it's worth refuting:

> one of the biggest problems in human communication is that people (without assistance) say things they do not mean. it's one of the primary forms of miscommunication out there. AI assistants can, actually, help ensure people _do_ say what they mean, while also anticipating how others may take it.

Polish below / Polski poniżej, boosts appreciated!

I’m very glad to announce we have an official date for the next Nix User Group Poland Meetup! If you happen to be around Gdańsk, Warsaw, or Poznan on the 23rd of May, please come to either HS3, HSWaw, or HSPoz and join us for some great talks, great people, and great Nix. We’ll be starting at 17.00.
We coordinated between the three hackerspaces to connect them through streams, so any talk in any place will be appreciated from all 3.
We’re still open for more talks, so be sure to use the submission form or contact me directly if you want to share anything nix-related with our community.

More info at our channels:
Discord: discord.gg/eJnKKjQ3Bc
Matrix: -poland:matrix.org

We hope to see you there!

I really like the easy way that NixOS enables you to get rid of all cruft through one config file. Discover, kwallet and elisa are part of the Plasma metapackage. Removing them in other distros gets you the warning that you, by removing them, are actually removing Plasma. Not so in NixOS. a clean working Plasma session remains, without those unnecessary addons. Re-adding them is one simple edit away.
