I do wonder how many women are happy with how male/female washrooms. It really isn't uncommon to find long lines outside of women's washrooms at busy times. I'm just regularly surprised at how people want to defend a system that is already clearly broken. It isn't like we've always had sex segregated bathrooms:

Though laws about bathroom use by transgender people have sparked new debate, the roots of bathroom sex segregation go back over a centuryMaya Rhodan (Time)
"NATO není věc, které se Rusko bojí. Rusko se bojí demokracie expandující do Ruska. Proč jsme v NATO? Je to proto, že se bojíme Ruska. A jediné, co skutečně funguje – jediná bezpečnostní záruka, která funguje – je deštník NATO," dodala.

All the Deets on the Mighty Details Tag 🙌
@geoff over at #CSS Tricks has written a definitive guide on using <details>, a number of possible use cases, and some of the trickier aspects of styling it and even animating the opening and closing states. I’ll be sure to refer to this the next time I do #WebDev on a <details>-based feature!

As a person who refused to use either, all I know is what I've heard:
People wanted Skype, but Microsoft kept pushing everyone to go to Teams instead and people hated Teams because it was broken and not ready for general release still now 7 years later, so people quit using either and thus the rise of the horribly insecure Zoom which nobody should have used, so now to get even more people to stop using its products,
"Microsoft is shutting down Skype after over two decades [...] as tech giant says it will focus on Teams"
theguardian.com/technology/202…
Maaaybe it would have been better for everyone if Microsoft just... didn't buy Skype just to ruin and now cancel it?
But then again, the reason why I refused to use Skype was the backdoors, sooo guess it's a good thing it dies.
Have you heard of signal.org yet?

@menelion Nowadays Signal has group video calls support.signal.org/hc/en-us/ar… too.
Otherwise there is also Jitsi, but its hosting of the platform requires at least one video conference participant must use either an account of Google or of Microsoft (GitHub) for the conference to start, but since Jitsi is open source it can be self-hosted and seemingly then not have those account requirements.
The short answer: Signal.
Le comportement de @thunderbird avait changé sans prévenir dans les dernières MAJ par rapport aux listes mail.
Il n'affichait plus l'identité des gens qui écrivent sur les listes mails. Ce qui complique l'utilisation des listes.
Pour rétablir le fonctionnement "normal" et afficher l'identité de la personne qui a écrit, il faut décocher une case dans les paramètres

Surely though the purpose of @EUCouncil looking at #Matrix would be to remove reliance on US tech companies?
If so, isn't it a major roadblock that @element / ElementX don't have working calls without Google / Apple on mobile (Note: relevant to all non Android/iPhone, not just those with NTFY):

While there are other clients, the mature ones are based on Element, so what client would the EU use, or would they not use it for calls? Or mobile? Seems unlikely.

LLM 0.23 is out today, and the signature feature is support for schemas—a new way of providing structured output from a model that matches a specification provided by the user. …Simon Willison’s Weblog
Oh this'll be useful.
I'm doing a lot of work with structured outputs professionally, and being able to just try things out in the cli for quick prototyping and testing will be extremely useful.
This was definitely one feature I felt LLM was missing.
Thank you for such a great and useful tool.

If the extent of your WCAG testing is running axe / ARC / WAVE / EAAC and that’s it, not only are you only testing ~30% of WCAG, but my own 2023 testing shows those tools catch under 15% of issues:
adrianroselli.com/2023/01/comp…
Manual testing is still a thing.
Which you need to know how to do, especially if bumping into `<canvas>`.
Automated accessibility testing tools cannot test 100% of WCAG. This position is not controversial. Other than overlay vendors, no automated tool maker makes that claim.Adrian Roselli

librewolf and other Firefox forks are a band aid. None of Firefox forks has a capacity to continue developing Gecko if Mozilla goes full evil.
Of course, no one claims that Servo is ready, far from it, and Firefox forks are currently the best thing available. I use Zen for the past few months. But this post was about investing to the future. Mozilla and Google need a competition, we need a browser engine that isn't tied to a corporation.

Oh wow. Skype is shutting down after 23 years, 14 years after Microsoft bought it.
"It’s not clear how many people are impacted. The most recent numbers that Microsoft had shared were in 2023, when it said it had more than 36 million users — a long way from Skype’s peak of 300 million users."
