Apple’s ‘liquid glass’ contrast hilarity is now a bullet on my post “I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did”

For anyone tempted to respond with the apologist's de facto, “but it’s beta!”, you can get into the sea.
I don’t accept failures like this in MVPs, so beta is even more offensive.

Incidentally, the company unleashing a new wave of contrast problems on the web (see today’s Codepen Spark for liquid glass copycats) is also the company that seems uninterested in supporting `prefers-reduced-transparency`:

Dear Fedi friends,
By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…
I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.
Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

GNOME Has a New Infrastructure Partner: Welcome AWS!
discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-ha…
With an ever-growing contributor base, GNOME infrastructure has an increasing number of demands placed on it — and only two engineers. AWS saved us from the burden of manually scaling our infra. Thank you AWS!
This post was contributed by Andrea Veri from the GNOME Foundation. GNOME has historically hosted its infrastructure on premises.GNOME Discourse
With macOS Tahoe, you can now dictate Swift code, and navigate Xcode with Voice Control. Designed for developers with limited use of the keyboard, we strived to make the experience natural and intuitive. Just say the code like you're talking to a person, and let Voice Control handle the formatting for you.
Please check out the demo video (starts at 03:10), and give it a try. We can't wait to hear what you think.

We have packaged MapComplete as an Android app (available for testing on app.mapcomplete.org)
We are however also looking to get it published into the Google Play Store - but are facing difficulties. @pietervdvn (who will maintain this) can't get verified. Does someone have hints on what documents to submit?
Or is there someone out there whom already _has_ a verified developer account who want to publish the apps on our behalf? (Maybe @streetcomplete , @vespucci_editor or @CoMaps ?)
In our feed there are some interesting horrible stories about Play Store against our Free Software app. Good luck with Google semestral censorship surprises.
F-Droid is honestly very slow in releasing each tagged version (e.g. 4-5 days) but we still love F-Droid.
Congratulations 🍾 app are nightmares. We hope only the best after this choice.
(tip: toot about Google/F-Droid issues, people is happy to help also on fediverse)
Telegram wirbt mit Sicherheit – doch laut einer Recherche kontrolliert ein russischer Netzwerktechniker namens Vedeneev große Teile der Infrastruktur, inklusive IP-Adressen und Serverzugang. Seine Firmen kooperierten mit FSB & Militär. Selbst »Ende-zu-Ende«-Chats lassen sich laut Experten zur Nutzerverfolgung ausnutzen. 👇

🚨 Europe needs digital sovereignty - and Microsoft has just proven why.

🛑 Do we really want to build our digital infrastructure on platforms that can be switched off at the stroke of a pen in Washington?
❌ Do not let the Trojan horse through the gate!
✅ The solutions exist, built here in Europe.
🇪🇺 It’s time for authorities and public institutions to walk the talk on strategic autonomy. Adopt sovereign European services – now.
Call to action: Businesses already offer great European alternatives for digital sovereignty, authorities must start adopting them now!Tuta

So not sure why but can't seem to load the tuta website (tuta.com), I can load the email webpage though.
I tried loading the website using my mobile data and it works fine, so I guess I have some weird issue from my router/ISP?
I tried on my PC and it didn't work, same with my phone but with my phone using mobile data it works so I can only think it's something ISP related maybe? I did try the ping command prompt and got a timed out so yeah very strange.
Just to check I tried with Firefox (main browser), chrome and edge and all of them didn't load the webpage.

I made that switch in ~2014, and I've had no use for Microsoft Office ever since.
