This is a US supplied 2,000 pound bomb milliseconds before it exploded in a residential neighborhood of Beirut Lebanon a day or two ago.

There have been so many strikes on medical workers and residential buildings in Lebanon the past week I just can't keep up.

Hey, it's vaguely around my birthday time! give me a present and learn that :

Bluesky wants to eat you...

Threads wants to eat you...

Facebook/Instagram wants to eat you...

the list goes on and on.

Stop being a product.

Also, boost this.

So let's use the ridiculous Mike Tyson vs white boy youtuber whoever fight to discuss what really matters here, which is the lack of IPv6 #multicast routing over the internet.

Think about that. Of course, more importantly a single cell phone could stream protests or news events too. you see where this is going...

Docela by mě zajímalo jaká témata na fedi hledáte. Co vám tu skutečně chybí? Osobně nemám ten pocit, že by byl mastodon/fedi profilovaný jako geek místo. Jsou tu umělci různých oborů, vědci, zahrádkáři, je tu silná komunita kolem pletení a ručních prací. Mnoho z toho sleduju přes hashtagy na jiných instancích protože je toho ve výsledku tolik, že se to nedá v jedné timeline usledovat .... 🤷‍♂️

I'm excited that I am now on Medium. My first post, entitled "An Introduction," is now live. I speak a little bit about my journey and some of the things for which I am really passionate, like accessibility and technology.

If you'd like to receive updates , you can find me on Medium.

Is it my imagination, or has Safari gotten better at describing HTML errors in the past year? I'm previewing an xhtml file, and in addition to an offending line number where the error stops the page display, I have a reference back to a missing or incorrect tag that caused the problem. Kind of cool.


T-Mobile confirms it was hacked in the wave of recently reported telecom breaches conducted by Chinese threat actors to gain access to private communications, call records, and law enforcement information requests.

I started this mastodon account yesterday as a fresh start and a blank slate. I do not have an interest in seeing politics, hateful posts, or anything negative and impure. I am here for love, compassion, and mindfulness. If you have any interest in #Shinto #Buddhism #JapaneseBuddhism #Mindfulness #Meditation #Betterment #MentalHealth #MensMentalHealth #Sobriety or any similar concepts, please give this post a favorite, or me a follow so I can follow back.

I want to cultivate a timeline full of respect, unity, love, and compassion.

Položme si zásadní otázku.

Co Mastodon, potažmo jeho komunita udělala za poslední dva roky od posledního exodu z Twitteru/X pro to, aby byla schůdnější pro koncového uživatele?

Po tom, co si odpovíte na tuhle otázku, si uvědomte, jak funguje Bluesky i když není decentralizovaný. Odpadá tam babylon všech možných i nemožných instancí, dá se tam vyhledávat napříč příspěvky a netechnickému uživateli nepraská hlava, když se ho snaží pochopit. Prostě funguje, dokonce out of box.

Ono se to zdá jako prkotina, ale polovina běžnejch šmoulů, kteří si sice umí nainstalovat Threads, protože jim to řekne Instagram, nedokáže pochopit, jak s ní pořádně nakládat.

Tohle není hate, jenom jeden z pohledů, proč to dopadlo tak, jak to dopadlo.

Čím dřív si určití lidé uvědomí, že to není masovka, ale vlastně docela underground, bude se jim najednou líp dejchat. Některý bitvy prostě vyhrát nejdou.

A ono je to dost možná ve výsledku určitě dobře.

To any #Voiceover users who are considering trying BlueSky, a word of warning.
It’s technicaly accessible, but presents a few problems. focus is never on a post, but on an element within a post. So you may find the Like button rather than the post itself, and you need to swipe through every element of each post. That’s a real pain. Also, some buttons either don’t work at all or do something unexpected.
I found navigation very difficult and was never quite sure where I was.
I haven’t found any images with Alt Text either.
The layout isn’t great.
All in all, it’s a bit of a trial to use. It’s almost as if they haven’t really bothered with #Accessibility. Fancy that!
Perhaps I should persevere with it, but, quite frankly, life’s too short, so I won’t be using it.

@jscholes Thanks James, do you know about their API's possibilities? I.e., Is it possible to develop a fully-fledged app?
in reply to André Polykanine

It seems to be, yes. There are already alternative native apps in the iOS App Store, and they list clients as an expected use case in their API documentation. They also claim that their own mobile app uses exactly the same API they make available to developers, although I'm not sure how true that is.

If you find yourself following fedi conflicts and getting exhausted yet unable to look away, step back. Follow CA/B and certificate authority root program conflicts instead for a palette cleanser.

in reply to Seirdy

They’re the opposite of what goes on here. The issue at hand generally seems rather dry, and the parties in the wrong are generally obvious. But the fallout is fascinatingly measured, clear-cut, and diplomatic while the parties obviously in the wrong struggle to mitigate their errors as their entire business’ reputation is on the line. So there are enough stakes for it to matter, but for once you feel you have enough context and it doesn’t feel personal.


Finished @viscousplatypus’s “The 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.
