I'm old enough to remember the outrage and hand-wringing from western politicians and media when the Taliban destroyed ancient cultural and religious sites in Afghanistan.
Now? You could hear a pin drop.

LA Times owner seems to be in league with Trump, vetoing a Harris endorsement and then letting the campaign use standard-issue lies to smear the paper for something it didn't do.
The editorial page editor quit in protest and she deserves our respect.
She has more courage than the vast majority of our political press corps, which still normalizes Trump and will be culpable if he -- and then Vance -- become America's fascist rulers.

We moved the Firefox Translations engineering channels from private Slack to a public Matrix channel, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. The project was a bit more closed in its infancy, but now that we are on a good track, everything is defaulting to much more open. This makes me happy.

Wonderful article from @bas on getting started with #accessibility. basbroek.nl/making-accessibiliβ¦
I love how he emphasizes that while accessibility is a vast space, we can start small and learn from the assistive technologies already built into our devices!
In βBuilding an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Timeβ, a presentation I recently gave at Swift Connection and SwiftLeeds, I spoke about βmaking accessibility accessibleβ. What does it mean, and how can we accomplish this?Basβ Blog

The company doctors call "EvilCore" fits the description in every way.
Health insurance companies pay it to help them stiff policy holders. It's a scam on the American people.

A big shout out to everyone at #A11yCamp yesterday. Sean spent a very informative day there leaning and networking on all the latest in #A11y / #Accessibility!
Photos are Sean with Riley Busch from the department of education, and a view of the Clarendon Auditorium filling up before the event started
As noted on the banner in the first photo, A11y Camp is Australia's premier conference on digital accessibility and inclusion.
I love KDE connect but for some reason it doesn't work for me a lot of times.
I made sure I'm using it correctly: same network, updated to stable, turn off content blockers. Yet most of the time, my Win10 laptop & mostly vanilla Android phone can't see each other.
EDIT: I figured I have the MS Store version inatalled. Fixed the issue hopefully forever

Okay, time to properly launch this: SUPER SWING DISTRICTS! superswingdistricts.org
This is a slate of Democratic candidates calculated for maximum impact for your donation dollars.
National campaigns receive a ton of money, but can't always deploy it locally in the places that the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and β¦ shenanigans mean it needs to be spent. But figuring out which local campaigns *can* use it is a lot of work. This site is the output of that work.
And we made it, and then some. On to the next goal: $60k.
Writing that thread about the stakes of the election from my perspective really took a lot more out of me than I thought it was going to though, so please get to $60k while I take a break for a while.
