Anyone recognize the apparatus this woman is using?

I suspect she's at a drafting table, and this is some sort of digitizer based on the corded puck she has in her right hand.

edit: She is doing PCB design work, and timeframe is 1983.

I pronounce PNG as "pinge" and there is nothing you can do about it

I think i may need a break from mastodon.

it is not an exaggeration to say that the majority of my feed is now just various anti-AI posts.

the people pushing AI aren't here. they are not on your Mastodon instance. When you post about how terrible and ignorant and stupid they are they do not see it, and it's not like that sort of thing persuades anyone even if they did.

I want to keep up with the cool stuff you are all making and doing. But I realize I am not entitled to just pick and choose from the things you find important enough to share, so I am not sure what else to do when I find that reading my feed no longer improves my mental health.

Seeing that I have a egui web application that is essentially a giant canvas element, making it an opaque blob to all screen-readers, I started looking into why all the smart people working on web technology never came up with a solution to provide some sort of metadata for what a canvas is displaying.
