re: REM interruptions. One would think they would have designed to be resilient to that kind of weather...

🏖️⌨️ You know how Shadow DOM can break accessibility? There’s a new proposal with experimental implementations (some by @igalia) to help fix that! I blogged about it: meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/202…

The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.

“Being photographed when in transit is something that Canadians who visit the United States will need to get used to…”

Um, no. It should always be seen as a breach of privacy. I imagine it will contribute to further reduced travel.

And the guy at the beginning of this was photographed while leaving the country?

Wir haben den Barrierefreiheits-Talk vom #39c3 auseinandergenommen, denn er war wieder gut noch lehrreich.

Er enthielt Inspiration Exploitation, extrem unsaubere und fehlerhafte Ausführungen zu den WCAG, illegale und behinderten Schadende Rätschläge, und ein gänzlich fehlender Blick für die Systematik.

Insgesamt war er leider dem CCC in keinster Weise würdig. Leider ist er innerhalb der letzten Stunden zu einem der meistgesehenen Talks zum Thema überhaupt geworden.

holy shit they might have found cure for Alzheimer's

bsky post by sailorrooscout:

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

note: the first trials were on mice, but they're promising

Just going to put this out there. If someone posts a workaround for a thing that might be giving people trouble and you don't do it, that's fine, but the lecture about oh well you're just putting off what's going to happen isn't helpful. Also, if said workaround involves tampering with software, it's of course common sense to use caution but again, lecture not needed. Nobody is forcing workaround for anything down anyone's throat, and there's no reason to get weird if someone decides to post about using said workarounds. Do or don't, but save the lecture. We're adults, we know the risks. Thanks. Have a good monday.
