The DNC played a video of Kamala addressing them from the ralley she was holding from the venue that the RNC was in. This is a pretty bawler move, honestly. I haven’t seen anyone else do this before, and it will make Mr. crowd-size-matters go insane which is always a nice bonus. youtube.com/watch?v=BxBjJPsx69…

🔵 The Nonvisual Website by Angelika Cathor @angelikatyborska There's a treasure hidden somewhere on this website. But there is a catch.The content of this website is only #accessible with a #screenreader
@NVAccess The one I would have been using if I’d been upstairs at my computer, the same one I ironically had to use last night to render text accessible to a sighted person. LOL
NVDA is free, so anyone can use it; open-source, so anyone can contribute; powerful, so it gets what you need done; lightweight, so it doesn't drag your system down; and extensible with a thriving add-on ecosystem!
@Tusky It would be really helpful if Tusky showed thumbnails for YouTube video links using YouTube's new share style. It shows thumbnails with the old style (the URLs with watch etc. in them)
Instead Tusky just shows a placeholder with non-English text.
Sibley Hospital, Washington DC, USA: last night an ER nurse called hospital security on the Executive Director of Long Covid Campaign and Fellow at both Harvard and Council on Foreign Relations for declining to remove her mask. Meighan Stone has #longcovid and is immunocompromised.

I’ve worked alongside Léonie at @w3c for years. She's been instrumental to the success of the current Board. She's calm, methodical, well-informed, and possesses a keen sense of the W3C's mission. I trust her judgment and admire her tenacity.
If you can vote, please help to re-elect Léonie to the Board.
The RNC is intervening on Trump's behalf to fight for the right to continue removing voters from Georgia rolls. The revelation comes in a federal lawsuit alleging Republican violations of the National Voting Rights Act.
As I think I mentioned before I like listening to traditional music, especially lullabies, from different cultures and in different languages. This album of indigenous lullabies I just found is beautiful!

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the linux-game-manager project Instead of Project Brutality only death match, we now have custom death match which lets you select your own game mod to use.
Disney is not admitting that its forced arbitration claim was legally wrong. It's just "decided to waive [its] right to arbitration" in *this particular case*.
It's deliberately not letting that legal argument be tested in a court, which means it can try it again anytime in the future.
Until their "the arbitration clause applies to any and all dealings you have with us" argument is definitively struck down in a court of law, no one is safe.
Disney has now agreed that a wrongful death lawsuit should be decided in court following backlash for initially arguing the case belonged in arbitration.

The Fediverse governance research @darius and I have been working on this year—with the absolutely central participation of so many wonderful Mastodon and Hometown server teams—is out:
Mily Mastodone, neco nefunguje uplne dobre :) Pred osmi hodinami jsem presunul ucet na k @archos Sledujicich 318. Vsechno ostatni se asi natahlo, ale sledujici nee. Postupny zanik Cynika :)
@Jirka Já jediny co našel je fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma… Tento článek popisuje, že přenos sledujících může trvat několik hodin, dní, nebo v extrémních případech dokonce týdny, v závislosti na tom, jak zaneprázdněný je server sledujících.
@Jirka No jestli nebude jednoduší, na účtu mastodon.social postnout, že už budeš na mamutovo. No a ti co tě sledovali, tě začnou opět sledovat. @cynik_obecny
@Jirka Ja nebyl na mastodon.social - mel jsem svuj secver. A na tom uz nic nepostnu, bo jsem se presunul k tobe. Ale kasli na to. To fakt neni akutni. Jen je to treba varovani pro nekoho, kdo by chtel presouvat, ze to muze zakopnout
