I really enjoyed @yatil new article on WCAG levels. When the WCAG Guidelines were being created members tried to correlate the different levels (A, AA, AAA) based on how difficult they'd be to implement. It would be helpful if the standards within each level designation were checked again. The standards could be regrouped based on their current level of difficulty. Please check out the full article for more information. #accessibility yatil.net/blog/wcags-a-and-aa-…

This year is the 30th anniversary of W3C. On Wednesday 25 September, at W3C@30, we will explore the impact of W3C standards on the world, imagine the possibilities for the next 30 years and celebrate our community with talks and a gala at our annual #w3cTPAC conference in Anaheim, CA.

Thank you to our sponsors @igalia and mesur.io. Organizations and individuals can sponsor the event (your sponsorship may be tax deductible if you pay US taxes)

Ridicule.

"La Ville de Beauharnois lui a envoyé deux avis de nuisances en juillet. Elle y indique avoir constaté lors d’inspections que « différents arbustes ne sont pas entretenus et poussent de manière désordonnée » sur son terrain."

"De son côté, M. Brossoit fait part de son incompréhension face à ces inspections, alors que de l’herbe à poux foisonne jusque sur la bordure du trottoir sur le terrain d’une résidence voisine."

"Trudeau says Canada will slap big tariffs on Chinese EVs "

In other news Governing for the lobbies. The Govt already killed the Canadian made Zenn car a decade and a half ago.

And nothing in sight to force the lobbies to produce smaller and cheaper EV.

(putting aside that EV are not the golden hammer of climate action)

This is more complex than governing for the lobbies. This is not only to entertain the local economy (feeding the local workers rather than these at the other end of the planet), but also to prevent dependence, dumping, takeovers.

But I hope that there will be incentives for local <25k$ cars; while a good portion of people could use active or collective transportation most of the time, we do need cars, sometimes, and we'd better use energy-efficient ones that don't suffocate our closed, non-infinite atmosphere.

#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:

Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
rys.io/en/171.html

Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.

Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.

Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.

They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici…

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

I really like the idea of, instead of collaborating on a document via (for example) Google's servers and Google Docs, being able to have collaborators' computers talk to each other directly and share edits that way.

I really hope that "local-first" gains at least the sort of steam the FOSS movement has — as I've seen people comment, FOSS doesn't help if your computation is happening on someone else's computer.

in reply to Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)

Local first has some really gnarly problems that you pretty much need centralized servers to fix, one way or another. Direct connectivity between people isn't possible any more. THe fact that most people are on devices that heavily restrict background app activity to make the batteries actually last, the IPV4 shortage, lack of IPV6 adoption and CG NATS don't help either.

Isaac Hayes III posted on Sunday that ♦️Donald Trump and his campaign have been served in their #federal #lawsuit alleging 134 instances of #copyright #infringement.

Just like anyone else, ⚠️political campaigns are not allowed to use music for their own gain without permission or buying a license.

Since Trump has continued to violate the copyright of the Hayes estate, 🔸an emergency federal hearing was granted on September 3.

By choosing to disrespect the rights and work of others, Donald Trump is now forced to show up in federal civil court as the defendant in a case that could cost him millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, your New Features video is completely inaccessible to blind users since all I hear is music. There's no audio description or verbal narrative of any kind. Admittedly, you do have the transcript which is certainly accessible and it does help but at that point I'd rather just read the page containing more details about the new features.

Krásné dibré eáno mastodoňata! 🙋‍♀️🐕🐈
A je to tu. Venku je regulérní tma. Ani narůžovělý pásek nad obzorem. A dneska nám tu prší. Což ale beru jako opravdu příjemnou změnu. Vodu ven pořád ještě nemáme nataženou. Chodím zalívat konvemi. A to znamená konve do koupelny a z koupelny běh po zahradě....
Za letošní léto budu mít svaly jako z posilovny. 😁
Takže vstávat bobánkové a šup! Vytvářet hodnoty! Nebo tak něco. 😊

🚨**X/Twitter je financován z Ruska**

I přes Muskův odpor sdělit, odkud vzal na financování koupě Twitteru to nakonec vyšlo najevo - ruští miliardáři ovládaní Kremlem. Už je tak jasné, proč se od Muskovy akvizice platforma ubírá tímto směrem.

It has been three and a half months since I announced “I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.”

For that, I was granted a stipend by Google Open Source. And, I would say: I delivered on this promise—see for your self, with the next release of Papers.

Now, my project is over (but I am here to stay), and if you want to read a bit more about what I did, I’ll humbly recommend my blog post: blogs.gnome.org/camelcasenick/…

in reply to Trending Stocks 📈

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

David Goldfield reshared this.

in reply to Trending Stocks 📈

@dhamlinmusic Thanks for your help! To be honest, aside from about yourself, 99.9% of the time #NVDA is used to refer to NVIDIA stocks, it's spam / scam - I certainly wouldn't follow the hashtag for stock information - I'd follow the Stocks or Finance hashtags you also use. I'd be surprised if it's the only one - just looking back through, 99% of toots about SNOW are not about the stock - and that's what I was trying to do - ensure people following a hashtag get primarily ONE subject
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes @jcsteh That was my reasoning for pushing the stock people to use the company name. If you use NVIDIA, there's no confusion - there is no other entity that I'm aware of called NVIDIA. And even though their code is NVDA, the screen reader IS much more widely known as NVDA. Users who have followed us post-twitter, might not actually know what NVDASR is. In any case, if we use NVDA and stock people use NVIDIA, then everyone can follow what they actually want - one, the other, or both

Thanks for sharing. These are the times I regret I don't live close enough to London. I still fondly remember the experiencein the Harry Pinter theatre. In the US theatre is not as popular, unfortunately. New York may be the only exception, but even then... I will leave my comments off the air! :) front-end.social/@tink/1130241…
