I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

This sounds like the CSS @media print
with extra steps
I also want a dragon.
The problem with “It’s self-documenting” is that there are inevitably questions about what it says, and there’s no additional resources to pull from.
Totally agree. And I’d argue that we don’t even need technical writers. Even if all people do is correct grammar and spelling mistakes it would be helpful, let alone actually writing docs. It’s one of the easiest ways non-technical folks can get involved with open source projects.
If you know your weakness is writing documentation, please hire a technical writer.
I’m really thankful that I had a great English teacher in high school, and that my degree required a technical writing class. Being able to write a coherent email got me further in my career than the technical stuff I learned in college.
It’s also why the humanities are important. Stemlords who brag about not doing literature classes write terrible documentation.
You have to assume some level of end user knowledge, otherwise every piece of documentation would start with “What a computer does” and “How to turn your computer on.”
I’ve found the best practice is to list your assumptions at the top of the article with links to more detailed instructions.
You know what? I’m gonna left even harder.
I’m okay with that, actually. Start with teaching kids in preschool that if they find a gun they shouldn’t touch it and should tell an adult, impressing upon kids the danger of guns, and finally ending with marksmanship training.
Then cut the military budget by 90%.
If we’re gonna have a rifle behind every blade of grass they should be crack shots.
Gee it’s almost like we should make sure folks know about how to handle firearms without relying on their own curiosity
You can’t automate away all the unpleasant and technical bits.
But it’s our job to try
Just you wait. You’ll see “This bike lane brought to you by Chevrolet” in under a decade.
And then once enough people buy the premium membership they’ll start putting ads on those, too.
They will get the market share of us few weirdos who haven’t just accepted this shit. They will lose out on advertising revenue, have to charge more for gas, and will go out of business.
They’ll start putting ads in the bike lanes
Voting with your money sounds about as effective at influencing things as actual voting.
Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock
