Yet another reminder that when it comes to data privacy, Microsoft cannot be trusted -- and, worse, its management is an eager ally of the fascists who run our government.

JEDEM KRÜPPEL SEINEN KNÜPPEL.

Ja, auch heute, 45 Jahre nach dem Start des Jahres der Behinderer. Vielleicht mehr als je zuvor.

Wir als Behindertenbewegung müssen wieder radikaler werden. Lauter. Unverschämter.

Wir alle müssten jeden Ableismus stärker kontern und jedes hohle Versprechen klar benennen, wie es z.B. das einzelne Heldy das letztes Jahr beim Global Disability Summit in Berlin während der Rede des damaligen Bundeskanzlers tat.

Wer erzählt uns von den Kindern mit Trisomie 21, die nicht abgetrieben werden? Von den ME/CFS-Patient*innen, deren Krankheit endlich sinnvoll erforscht und geheilt wird? Von den Autist*innen, die in der Gesellschaft ohne zu maskieren existieren können?

Niemand tuts. Und warum? Weil das System uns überhaupt nicht die Gelegenheit dazu gibt.

Als ich das letzte Mal hier von blinden Sterneköchen sprach, sind darunter andere Blinde geslided, die sagten, das wäre unmöglich.

Auch in der digitalen Barrierefreiheitsarbeit höre ich immer wieder „vollständige Barrierefreiheit ist nicht möglich“.

Ja, wenn man das denkt und nicht über den eigenen Tellerrand und die gegebenen systemischen Möglichkeiten hinaus blickt, dann kann das nix werden.

Der Faschismus ist da, und er drängt uns schon jetzt wieder aus der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung.

Wo „letzte Generation Behinderte“? Wo „linke“ Gruppen, die das auf dem Schirm haben?

Alerta, alerta!

Privatadresse. Anbieter für ladungsfähige Anschriften sind wirklich sehr teuer (~100 Euro im Monat).

Bei der Impressumspflicht muss der Gesetzgeber dringend nachbessern. Für Einzelunternehmer im Homeoffice ist das komplett unverhältnismäßig.

Auf der anderen Seite bringt mir das als Verbraucher auch überhaupt nichts zu wissen, dass Meta in 1 Mark Zuckerberg Drive, San Francisco, California seinen Sitz hat. Verklagen kann ich die trotzdem nicht.

Nicht unbedingt. Gäbe die Möglichkeit sich bei der Post n Postfach zu besorgen was je nachdem 4-5€ im Monat kostet und man dann als Anschrift angeben kann. Nachteil muss man halt jedes mal dann hinfahren / laufen aber wär ne Möglichkeit die Privatadresse geheim zu halten. ^^

we have: gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Releng/…

Ironically, core GNOME apps have generic names. Plus, you can’t use GNOME branding unless you’re part of the GNOME project. If you target the GNOME environment, though, you are a “GNOME app”, in the same way you have iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, etc

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.

"To what end?" the reporter asked.

"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."

"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"

"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

Over the last year I have stopped approximately 1070€ of annual subscription costs to US products in our family.

In our company, we're in process of stopping somewhere between 20k€ to 25k€ annuals subscription fees to US products.

I know I'm not the only one, and our company isn't alone doing these changes.

We have a lot of people in Europe. If we all shift a portion of our reccurring monthly costs to European products, it will make a huge difference.

Thanks @alcea – though we should hand the praise to the dev of the app, or at least share it with them. We just make it easier accessible – but all the work of developing the app in the first place, wasn't ours 😉

To Google: SafeBrowsing could be such a useful tool – but you're undermining the trust in it yourselves by such actions. Especially when even your own scanners disagree. Get a human in the loop, your system is hallucinating 😉

mentoring a Chinese kid over DeltaChat in a group chatroom because he says he can't reach "world masters" of this technology (BSD/Linux, networking, etc) over anything else because it's blocked

it's like me way back doing the same over IRC. So many people patiently answered my questions and built the foundations for my entire career

Hey blind people, what is the recommended accessible format for distributing text-only content? So that a short text of a couple hundred words is browsable, searchable and the structure is understandable?

Am I correct is assuming that a well-structured PDF with all the titles set correctly would do the trick? Or is there some secret file format that is much better suited?

The document is intended to be distributed as downloadable file, not as a website.

(Sighted people feel free to boost but for the love of everything please do not try to answer)

@WeirdWriter@skye The issue with HTML is that a lot of browsers these days will refuse to download HTML, and will just open it. For less techy people, actually saving an HTML file they got from a link can be challenging. And markdown is fine on desktop, but I'm not aware of anything on mobile that allows navigating by headings in a markdown file. Personally I'd say epub. There are free programs on all the platforms that can open epub, browsers just download it by default, making accessible epubs is as easy as making accessible html, and it will work for blind and sighted alike so you don't need to create two different documents.
