Finished @viscousplatypus’s β€œThe Accessibility Operations Guidebook” this morning. Probably a good idea to read if you do digital accessibility and want to scale up your impact. I recommend.

This quote from a former independent consultant who has become an employee really lands.

A hidden catch of the new fancy EuroCity direct service between Brussels and Amsterdam: Since the train does not stop in Breda anymore, subscription holders with 100% discount on Dutch railways still have to pay for the journey from Rotterdam to the border.
Therefore the basic ticket price for such subscription holders went up almost twofold - from € 10,50 to € 20.

And of course, due to limitations of the NS international journey planner, you cannot force it to use the slower EuroCity service.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.

The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

Childhood mortality -- death before age 15 or so -- used to run at about 50%.

Every second child born, died before becoming an adult, all over the world, for as far back as we've been able to track.

We didn't turn the corner until about 1900, when science got us the germ theory. That sparked sanitation and vaccination.

A cabinet nominee (RFK Jr) who questions vaccines is frightening. A nominee who brags about not washing his hands (Hegseth) is terrifying.

"Four typhoons have been detected in the Pacific Ocean at the same time, making it the first time such a phenomenon has occurred in the month of November since observations began in 1951.

In total, at least 160 people have already been killed while 9 million have been displaced from multiple storms. "

Typhoon Yinxing, Typhoon Toraji, Tropical Storm Usagi, and Tropical Storm Man-Yi.

"But the streak of violent weather was forecast to continue in the central Philippines, where Tropical Storm #ManYi is set to reach coastal waters by Sunday.

The weather service said it could potentially strike at or near the heavily populated capital, #Manila."

"The #Philippines has ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people and cancelled dozens of flights as a β€œpotentially catastrophic” #typhoon – the sixth storm in a month – approaches the archipelago.

Packing winds of 240km/h (149mph), Man-yi [aka #Pepito] was upgraded to a super typhoon."

Even huge company like #google sucks in #UX so much.
This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?
Youtube UX: no link to the video, but here you can watch some different stuff...

Excited to share our latest blog post on memory safety! We’re tackling spatial safety in our massive C++ codebase by hardening libc++ by default. It adds bounds checks to things like std::vector, preventing a fair bit of out-of-bounds vulnerabilities: security.googleblog.com/2024/1… 🧡
