so apparently if a company goes to Slack and whines “our customers are able to communicate without our direct personal approval and we don’t like it”, Slack will say “you’re so right king” and assign that company exclusive admin control of a user community without asking or even warning the community? hachyderm.io/@binford2k/113307…

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you a heads up that Perforce has forcibly seized control of the #Puppet Community Slack. They've banned me and removed the Community team and all moderators.

The EU #TaxTheRich petition has failed to gather 1 million signatures. Germany, France and Denmark were the only countries to cross the line. That tells you how many people can actually be mobilised for real change to our system. I am very disappointed. eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/… 1/3

Justin Wong made an awesome little video cutting tool called vic, using Chafa and Rust: github.com/wong-justin/vic

This is going to be extremely useful. Might even improve my posting, unlikely as that sounds.

“Shopify, accessibility lawsuits & ‘Compliance’”
nicchan.me/blog/shopify-access…

Long read that looks at responsibility, content accessibility, the ACR of one theme, and drive-by lawsuits.

This quote tho: “In a way, the Shopify app store and theme store create a parasitic ecosystem.”

This is a positive review! Very much looking forward to when this debuts for the iPhone 16. Have been eyeing this ever since it was released at CES. Clicks Keyboard for iPhone 16 Pro – Rebuilt on customer feedback - 9to5Mac 9to5mac.com/2024/10/14/hands-o…

It's time for a silly Monday afternoon beat thing.
Last night, I sampled a bunch of sounds from a Perkins braillewriter and loaded them into my shiny new Ableton Move. Today, I made this silly thing with it, not actually using many of the samples, as it turns out.

I know why I'm glad I went with HP now. the HP bios configuration utility. Del makes something similar, but sadly limited to their workstation-class systems. HP does not discriminate on this one, unless you count not allowing the disabling of Absolute protection chips that come shipped in the factory. (Some see Absolute Protect as a trojan for allowing a lot of core access) the HP-specific BCU is downloadable here and requires commandline. ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp14350…

I have today off, (thanks Indigenous People!), so I've been spending it sending get-out-the-vote texts to #Democrats in Ohio and Arizona. If you're #Blind and looking for an #Accessible way to volunteer this election cycle, Campaign for Democracy is entirely virtual, lets you text on your own time, and only requires a device with a Web browser. (some familiarity with Discord also helps, but isn't required.) Learn more here: campaignfordemocracy.com/text/
