It's happening again!!! They're trying to put the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) up for a vote:
thehill.com/policy/technology/…
As I've written in the past, KOSA is a censorship nightmare that'll drive LGBTQIA+ folks out of social media spaces and suppress any content that Republicans think is harmful to kids.
Please call your reps NOW, especially your Senators. If you have a Republican senator, tell them you're worried this bill will impose an unfair burden on small businesses.

#BVerfG #Rechtsstaat #Demokratie #noAfD
Zwei Aspekte scheinen mir bei dem Projekt zur Absicherung der #Unabhängigkeit des BVerfG besonders bemerkenswert:
- die demokratischen Kräfte haben sich in einer sehr komplexen Problematik auf sachliche Kompromisse geeinigt + treten gemeinsam dafür ein
- alle haben darauf verzichtet, "Pakete" mit Themen zu schnüren, die nix damit zu tun haben.
So geht Demokratie.

Here’s what parenting can look like.
When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).
Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”
You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

KI-Ampel in Essenbach verärgert Autofahrer

That thing transphobes do, where something trips in their brains and they end up doing nothing but obsessing about trans women, while probably in a darkened room with no clean underwear surrounded by empty pot noodles and bags of their own urine.
There is a pop-psychology concept amongst tech geeks of a "basilisk". This is something that, once you become aware of it, it breaks you. You cannot come back once you have experienced the basilisk. It's a one way ticket to, usually, madness, or perhaps total system shutdown. It's generalised from the idea from antiquity of the basilisk as a creature that turns you to stone.
There's a fun story called Blit - linked here, infinityplus.co.uk/stories/bli… about a visual basilisk. Another example is something called Roko's Basilisk which is basically Pascal's wager for atheists who spend too long in Silicon Valley (it's stupid, but some of the terrible people with more money than sense, like Musk and Thiel, actually appear to believe it, and are therefore broken by it, and I reiterate, it's really, really stupid).
Anyway, in the latter case, Roko's Basilisk breaks you by becoming aware of it, BUT, here's the thing: it only works on certain people. They have to be susceptible, and in the case of Roko, the susceptibility lies around a particular weak spot in the ability of otherwise intelligent people to think critically and realise, "this is fucking stupid".
But, here's the thing, TO THOSE WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE, I've realised that trans women are a basilisk.
Look at people like Graham Lineman, J K Rowling, and a load of less famous people who have ended up in the same state. They all reached a point where SOMETHING relating to the fact that trans women exist tripped them into some downward doom spiral that has basically pushed their brain into a self-reinforcing state of insanity that they can't recover from.
There are probably several psychology PhDs for the taking on the subject of this.
But it seems I, and many women like me, are basilisks. This is a public post. Some of the people hate reading it have already passed the trigger condition. If you're one of them, you should probably empty some of those bags of your own wee and eat a fresh vegetable, if you can. Good luck!
My name is Sarah, and I am a basilisk. Fear me.
24px? 44px ? Wait, 48dp on Android, hu? What is the size of an accessible button exactly?
Well, it depends (haha). @eric clarifies a lot of miss conceptions around the minimum WCAG-conformant interactive element size.
Short answer:
- For 2.5.5 (AA), your target must be 24px, you can use padding (extend the size) or margin (add spacing) to achieve it. This doesn’t apply to link in blocks of text.
- Same for 2.5.8 (AAA) except you need to achieve 44px.

Google Now Defaults to Not Indexing Your Content - Vincent Schmalbach
Picture this: It’s ten years ago, and you’ve just launched a new WordPress blog. Within hours, sometimes even minutes, your content is indexed by Google.Vincent Schmalbach
My response (Fedi link). Google has a longstanding bias against new sites as part of its Experience, Expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (EEAT) guidelines, not in spite of them.
LLMs just exacerbated an issue that already had a long history, and Google’s established-site bias has long been visible (though perhaps less so in the past). It’d crawl instantly but not index for weeks or months.
On a more selective Google
Selectivity is long overdue. Marginalia, Stract, and Teclis feel like a breath of fresh air for broad short-tail queries because they downrank or skip pagesSeirdy’s Home
Reply to Google Now Defaults to Not Indexing Your Content by Vincent SchmalbachSelectivity is long overdue. Marginalia, Stract, and Teclis feel like a breath of fresh air for broad short-tail queries because they downrank or skip pages full of ads, trackers, scripts, and even SEO. However, Google’s selectivity can’t penalise such criteria as that would conflict with its ad business.
Google has a bias against new sites. This makes sense, given their spam potential. I disagree with your argument that a bias against new sites is a pivot away from Experience, Expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (EEAT): it takes time for a website to become an authority and earn trust. If delayed indexing of new sites is wrong, then the problem lies with EEAT. I argue that EEAT is a good framework for an answer-focused engine, but a bad framework for a discovery- or surfing-focused engine like Marginalia or Wiby, respectively.

From Ad Identifiers to Global Privacy Control: The Status Quo and Future of Opting Out of Ad Tracking on Android
Sebastian Zimmeck, Nishant Aggarwal, Zachary Liu, Konrad Kollnig
arxiv.org/abs/2407.14938 arxiv.org/pdf/2407.14938
arXiv:2407.14938v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Apps and their integrated third party libraries often collect a variety of data from people to show them personalized ads. This practice is often privacy-invasive. Since 2013, Google has therefore allowed users to limit ad tracking on Android via system settings. Further, under the 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), apps must honor opt-outs from ad tracking under the Global Privacy Control (GPC). The efficacy of these two methods to limit ad tracking has not been studied in prior work. Our legal and technical analysis details how the GPC applies to mobile apps and how it could be integrated directly into Android, thereby developing a reference design for GPC on Android. Our empirical analysis of 1,896 top-ranked Android apps shows that both the Android system-level opt-out and the GPC signal rarely restrict ad tracking. In our view, deleting the AdID and opting out under the CCPA has the same meaning. Thus, the current AdID setting and APIs should be evolved towards GPC and integrated into Android's Privacy Sandbox.
WOW! Something just let loose on the far side of the sun and Earth (as well as the entire solar system) are getting peppered with hard protons. Debris from the blast emerged in the form of a full halo CME. Hard protons are good at charging spacecraft bodies, fogging their cameras, and causing reboots of onboard computers. Indeed, you can see a hint of the "fog" in the movie above. Each speckle is a hard proton striking the spacecraft's digital camera. spaceweather.com has the latest on this big, BIG boom.

in reply to Marco Rogers • • •My mom has been trying to fly back from San Francisco to Atlanta since Friday. Delta Airlines has been totally hosed by this issue. I guess they were deeply invested in windows and Crowdstrike.
But what decision does Delta get to make now? What can they change that won't expose them to a potential Crowdstrike or a similar vendor exposure? I don't think they have that option. The whole ecosystem is set up to shed risk in a way that makes accountability impossible.

in reply to Marco Rogers • • •Yeah, non-tech folk grossly underestimate the complexity and scale big co's like Delta have invested in a given platform. Switching would take decades.
All rooted in basically arbitrary decisions made years ago because some exec bought a sales pitch and went all in on a marketing demo.
Not slighting anyone, though. This crap is hard and impossible to predict. This was (in Delta's eyes) a minor vendor.

Nope. Just drawing from personal experience.
Execs make decisions based on different criteria, and often, don't stay long enough to see the consequences. In this case, I'm betting there was some level of due diligence done, but ultimately it came down to price and features.
Then it got forgotten about since it didn't "catch fire".
Granted, spending money on infra is really hard to justify, so it's usually starved anyway.

Case in counter-point: you could call it broken ticket-toss buck-pass subculture perversely incentivized.
We said "no agent complexity, or if you must, it will have phased and tested/metered roll-outs of changes". We were adamantly overruled. They said "we accept the risk of total revenue outage if this agent breaks catastrophically" and (Catch-22) "you must still ensure no outage" and "you must get budget elsewhere to completely re-engineer your service".
