We tried to buy an ebook... it was DRM protected and required some weird adobe ID and installing some obscure calibre plugins to maybe eventually be able to read it.
Returned them and bought @pluralistic's Radicalized instead [1].

As usual great post from @yatil yatil.net/blog/the-infuriating…
Fixing issues in development is way cheaper for sure. Wish #NIST had some values for fixing issues upstream? So many problems could be fixed (I think) if we pushed to fix accessibility issues in the software that we use.
Open source is a big part of the internet. Almost everything includes some open source packages. How do we get folks contributing beyond the scope of their project?
The infuriating inefficiency of accessibility audits · Eric Eggert
Accessibility audits are the bread and butter of every accessibility consultancy. It’s an easy to package product that clients have learned to ask for and buy. They have expectations on the deliverables and the form of an audit.Eric Eggert

Hello, world!
We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.
We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.
We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.
👏 more 👏 developers 👏 need 👏 to 👏 hear 👏 this
I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it (prior to coming to me for strategic advice, of course 😉).
You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

Another example of Communuty Notes on X being useless:
"This is an AI generated video of Vice President Kamala Harris using audio of clips that were never actually stated by the VP,” read one suggested Community Note. “Videos like this are dangerous to those who can not decipher AI generated content from reality.”
X is now basically Gab. Another reason to organize here.

Re, last boost: This actually makes me kind of sad. Applevis has been an amazing resource that I've recommended to my friends and consumers who want to broaden their knowledge on their apple devices, and find honest reviews about the useability of aps with voiceover. I wish all the best to the Applevis crew as they navigate these difficult times. I hope the site can soon return, as it is a great database for potential new Apple users.
For now, the most important thing to do is to support David Goodwin and the rest of the Applevis team for their dedication and attention to consumer use for visually impaired individuals.
I respect his decision to focus on personal life matters and his own mental health. Thank you, Applevis for giving us many great years of discussion and learning from one another. Applevis was a community in every true sense of the word. Until it returns, it will be a digital home that many of us will miss.
For those who may have my boost hidden or haven't seen it, here is the link to the blog post where David Goodwin announces the closure of Applevis.
