@the_spc @sidereal @mariyadelano I think a lot of people are overestimating the footprint. Sure, it's not negligible, but it varies a lot depending on what you do, and i'm convinced many cases are legitimate in that regard. I'm probably a bit self indulgent myself, with using it to produce code, but that pales in comparison to the production of videos that people are doing these days, and it has useful output, rather than a joke forgotten seconds later.

@the_spc @sidereal @mariyadelano But yeah, i think accessibility is one underappreciated consequence, having a translation layer between images and text, that has enough "understanding" of the world to allow useful interaction with it, has deep consequences. Sure, sometimes human help would be better, but there is a finite amount of that, and having agency is also very important. So i'm glad it helps you.

@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano Well, and that's just it. I'd love to learn how to program, at least on some level, but other than stuff like HTML/a tiny bit of markdown, which I don't' really consider programming as much as coding, I wouldn't know where thhe hell to start. Not to mention the Braille display issuues we mentioned upthread.
