Join us for a webinar and learn how to get started, make and show progress, and approach accessibility in a manageable manner.Dennis Deacon (TPGi)
One of the best devices I used last week was not even electronic. It works with your smartphone, but it doesn't have a battery.
I am a huge fan of the Dot Card as it lets you share your contact information without the need to give out business cards. I think the interface could be a bit more user friendly, but it is still a fantastic device.

After every single in-person event I've gone to the past two years, days later several people report testing positive for COVID.
Now, can y'all please just stop wondering why I still wear FFP2 masks at indoor and crowded outdoor events or other gatherings, carry a CO2 monitor, and regularly self test?
That shit ain't over just because we pretend it is, and I for one can't afford rolling the dice on LongCOVID too often. And most likely, neither can you.
Advertising isn't inevitable, it's a thing that was invented, it became the dominant funding model on the web because it appears to have no cost to the user and it doesn't appear to interfere with the free and open access principles of the early web.
It actually has significant cost to users, we pay in time, privacy, experience, and security.
It's eroded the free and open web, spawned walled gardens whose only goal is to capture more of the user's time.

Idea: A browser addon that automatically disables JS (like NoScript), but only on "approved", websites that don't actually require it.
Many websites (particularly news websites) work just fine without JS, and are usually much faster and much less annoying to use this way. On the other hand, so many websites require it now that a blanked "no JS" policy is extremely annoying to use.

Nevertheless, Marco has already published an update of the rewritten @overcastfm build to Test Flight which addresses the most critical VoiceOver regressions. That was quick work and I wanted to say a public “thank you”.
There are Indie developers who care about #accessibility, and when we find them, we can work with them differently from, say, a faceless corporation that won’t engage and who insist that we wait our turn.
Although there are some growing pains which are being dealt with rapidly, I’m feeling positive about the future of Overcast because the hard work has been done to put infrastructure in place that sets the app up for a sustainable future with new features. I tell you, if we ever get the ability to select a bunch of episodes and delete them in one go, I’ll do a very happy dance.
So, thanks again Marco and thanks to the indie developers who single-handedly do the coding, the marketing, the PR and the tech support.

It's striking that so many continue to deny the Nakba when it's all so well documented. This excerpt is about the ethnic cleansing of Lod (Lydda) in July 1948:
- it's very clear that the intent is on driving out all residents of Lod, not just those who could pose military threats
- Israeli heroes (David Ben Gurion, Yigal Allon, Yitzhak Rabin) were directly responsible for ordering and implementing the expulsion

Ben-Gurion was at Yazur that afternoon. According to the best ac- count of the meeting, at which Yadin, Ayalon and Allon, Israel Galili and Lt Colonel Yitzhak Rabin, chief of operations of Operation Dani (and of the Palmah), were present, someone, possibly Allon, after hearing of the outbreak in Lydda, proposed expelling the inhabitants of the two towns. Ben-Gurion said nothing, and no decision was taken. Then Ben-Gurion, Allon and Rabin stepped outside for a cigarette. Allon reportedly asked: ‘What shall we do with the Arabs?’ Ben-Gurion responded with a dis- missive, energetic gesture with his hand and said: ‘Expel them [garesh otam].’88
Within minutes, at 13:30 hours, just as the shooting was dying down, Operation Dani HQ issued the following order to Yiftah Brigade HQ:
1. The inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly without attention to age. They should be directed towards Beit Nabala. Yiftah [Brigade HQ] must determine the method and inform [Operation] Dani HQ and 8th Brigade HQ.
2. Implement immediately.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/572432 "Screenshot of a page that says:

I've been quietly working on a fast and lightweight neural Text-To-Speech (TTS) model for NVDA/SAPI.
The next step is training the model, and that requires some serious GPU power. Unfortunately, those resources are a bit out of my reach right now.
This is where I could really use your help, if you're interested!
Hubert Figuière reshared this.
Thanks for your contribution. Really appreciate it!
For this month, Pneuma Solutions provided GPU resources for training. But I still accept donations to ensure we have enough resources for future training needs.

Please vote for an implementation of VJOURNAL in Thunderbird. 👇 This would REALLY improve the ecosystem and usability of open protocols! Currently there is almost no software on the desktop to sync your notes and journals with a CalDAV server and TB could fill a huge gap here.

On the down hill ride, in 40km/h, when I am right behind another car an idiot starts to overtake me, than pushes me slowly out of the road and then also helps himself by completely blinding me out by water.
I had to stop quickly and completely to wipe my glasses which the car behind me didn't like and honked at me too.
for the past week or so, I’ve been in the rabbit hole of “semantic enhancement to HTML”, HTML 4.01, XHTML, HTML5 transition, early weblog, indieweb, microdata, microformats, RDFa, etc…
for those who lived it (or explored this rabbit hole), I’m wondering if anyone has any insights on HTML5 microdata? it seems like a lightweight compromise between RDFa and mf2, with the benefit of being part of the HTML5 specification, but largely abandoned. feels ripe for re-adoption in the modern “smolweb”
“I’m wondering if anyone has any insights on HTML5 microdata?”
@jakintosh I use microdata and polygot XHTML5 on seirdy.one. I use rel attributes which happen to also silently upgrade RDFa-Lite to the often-incompatible RDFa-Core algorithm, and not all RDFa parsers can parse Core; RDFa is not a good option for me.
Here is a sample article making heavy use of Microdata and Microformats2: Proposal: an HTML element for spoilers.
The blockquote at the start mixes them; the code snippets feature more Microdata.

this isn't to say sigstore is useless.
for it's purpose, it's way better than PGP, and frankly it's better than signify. this is because sigstore signatures map to something humans already understand: OIDC identities.
but i do believe its usefulness is overstated.
what does it get you?
in the ideal case, the assurance that a package came from a specific CI run. maybe it also gets you the assurance that an SBOM also came from the same CI run.
in the worst case, the assurance that the package was signed by a specific identity. maybe you trust that identity or not. doesn't matter.
what traditional codesigning, such as done by Linux distributions, and "app stores" gets you is an assurance that somebody looked at the package and signed off on it.
in other words, accountability from a third party rather than the author.
these are not the same assurance. they should not be conflated to be the same.
