Something very strange is happening inside Super Nintendo (SNES) consoles as they age: a component is running faster as time goes on.

Was looking forward to reading this article by @bemyeyes and, lo and behold, there is no heading markup for the title, no landmarks, no nothing to make it easy to get to the actual article. The first heading is some bottom menu thing and the only landmark is the navigation bar. Come on, guys. Your company literally exists to help with accessibility. Headings are as basic as it gets, at least for screenreader users.Do better.

📣 Make it public!
The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.
Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

Civil liberties campaigners have joined US politicians and the BBC in saying Friday's hearing should not be secret.Tom Singleton (BBC News)
The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!
The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.
A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

📣 Break the silence: Save encryption!
The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.
It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.
Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.

Hi, @MapComplete !
I'm checking the Restaurants and fast food in my area and noted that it's very outdated vs #OpenStreetMap data.
mapcomplete.org/food.html?z=17…
openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.7…
There shows two restaurants that I removed some months ago and lacks another added about one month ago.
Could be something at my side or map items are updated from time to time?
It's interesting that both those restaurants are (correctly) marked as disused, not completely deleted. It almost looks like MapComplete is picking up disused restaurants ... except that wouldn't explain why they don't appear for me.
I'm out of ideas I'm afraid!
@alan Ah, well, there is a caching server on our side that should urgently be updated.
The internet on that server is also unreliable ATM, so it might fallback to overpass instead...
Will eventually be fixed. Or I might disable it all together
