Dark mode & accessibility myth by Stéphanie Walter - UX Researcher & Designer.

Dark mode isn't always better for accessibility, you need to let users chose. And if you build a dark theme, make it accessible!

Sharing my plans for #MastodonForHarris fundraiser: Incredibly, it is now conceivable that we will hit the current target of $125,000 soon, maybe even today. When we do, I will adjust the target. I hope I have been clear from the beginning; each target is a a benchmark, not an endpoint. 1/ secure.actblue.com/donate/mast…

I just gave to Kamala Harris!

Show your support with a contribution.

I am continuing my efforts to contact key people in digital, outreach, and elsewhere in the Harris campaign. Eventually, I will get through, I’m sure. I’d like to have a list ready of qualified volunteers who could assist the campaign in understanding Mastodon and the Fediverse, setting up and maintaining an instance, and so forth. If you are interested in being contacted should an opportunity arise, please provide your details here opnform.com/forms/mfh-tech-vol…. 2/ #MastodonForHarris

Open Source or Shut Down MastoMetrics?

Every day multiple people sign up for @mastometrics, but hosting is burning a hole in my pocket and I don't have much time to maintain it.

I'm open to cleaning up my code and making it self hostable as well as accepting code contributions. However, I still need donations to fund the free / flagship server.

So here's my pledge and call to you:

Ensure MastoMetrics stays online and help me reach €1500 donations: ko-fi.com/robertvh

Boosts = ❤️

Heads up for Linux @thunderbird users: We have seen an issue where the new tray icon isn't rendering on daily.

Long story short it kinda helps if you install TB-symbolic.svg in `mach install` !

Please adjust your packaging for daily to ensure TB-symbolic.svg is now accounted for in chrome/icons/default/ - we've got `mach install` fixed now xD

'It is our day!': Monster-in-law wedding-shames the bride and groom for booking vegetarian meals with catering, claiming guests 'expect luxury food': Planning a wedding is like doing a group project with your parents. You're reminded of the pitfalls, the hierarchal shifts, and the shortcomings of every member involved in the group project and each person's role starts to get jumbled as various members either relinquish responsibility or dig their heels in. For most of us, we work better alone,…

I was just researching what is the best washing machine cleaning product, and tripped over a delightful five-star review on Amazon, wherein, after describing the olfactory crisis that precipitated the purchase in the first place, the author of the review said with great approval, "My washer stopped smelling like American politics after I used this product."

I mostly agree here. I haven't read the Doctorow piece. But I've been having a similar conversation within my professional circles. Yes Crowdstrike screwed up. But humans are gonna screw up. We know this. So rather than discussing who to blame, the better discussion is how so many companies found themselves exposed with no way of taking control of what was happening to their systems.
hachyderm.io/@jenniferplusplus…

Jenniferplusplus (@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io)

Other companies have been gutting their operations and security teams. I don't care what they say, the large majority of jobs they eliminated were actually necessary. They've been outsourcing to vendors to cover the gap. Sometimes bad things happen.

It's happening again!!! They're trying to put the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) up for a vote:

thehill.com/policy/technology/…

As I've written in the past, KOSA is a censorship nightmare that'll drive LGBTQIA+ folks out of social media spaces and suppress any content that Republicans think is harmful to kids.

Please call your reps NOW, especially your Senators. If you have a Republican senator, tell them you're worried this bill will impose an unfair burden on small businesses.
