wtf is #1p_for_floss ?
One percent 💰 for Free and Libre Open Source.
1% is a suggestion. Substitute whatever fraction makes sense for your life and position. Is that 0.025%? Great! Contribute that and use the tag with blessings.
The idea is to normalize regularly giving to support the tens of thousands of "dude in Nebraska holding up the internet" #XKCD2347 that make our computing life as rich as it is.
Use Ko-Fi, Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, PayPal, Bitcoin, ... heck even old fashioned snail mail 🐌 💌. Just make sure it's money 💰, and make it a habit.

Forrest Brazeal:
“I think that AI has killed, or is about to kill, pretty much every single modifier we want to put in front of the word “developer.”
“.NET developer”? Meaningless. Copilot, Cursor, etc can get anyone conversant enough with .NET to be productive in an afternoon … as long as you’ve done enough other programming that you know what to prompt.”

Ugh, the maintainer of the Debian bcachefs-tools package just orphaned it because its Rust dependencies are moving too fast. jonathancarter.org/2024/08/29/…
So, I need to be careful not to cause that same problem in AccessKit, especially if my current (draft) merge request to use AccessKit in GTK 4 (via the C API) is finished and accepted.
Coming up in the new academic year, I get to spend the semester with a fresh bunch of second-year students who are going on to learn some more logic than the first-year basics.
Like last year, in Intermediate Logic we’ll be exploring natural deduction proof theory and different kinds of models for propositional, modal and first-order predicate logic.
New this year, my Doktorvater, Prof. Graham Priest, will be joining us in the last week of classes, so we’ll have a fun back-and-forth about truth-value gaps, gluts and paradoxes to end things with a bit of a bang.

Situation dependent. For formal communication I adhere to the rules learnt from my early years.
To Whom It May Concern, if the identity of the recipient, within an organization, isn’t readily known.
Dear XYZ/Gentili Signori(a) XYZ, if the recipient’s identity is known.
Hi — for follow up correspondences to the Dear XYZ recipient.
For all other informal communications, I adhere to no rules and simply go with whatever comes to mind. For example: Hey, Ciao, Bonjour etc

I think that sums up FB’s attitude towards accessibility quite neatly, and they are far from alone in this.

I’ve become aware that some people have had difficulty accessing her article on LinkedIn. I have also had additional thoughts on the wider topic of blind leadership, expanding upon the remarks I made when I shared her post.
I have written a detailed article on this important question, and with Emma’s permission, have included her article on the same page. I hope this helps this issue reach the widest possible audience. This truly is so important.

It’s not that I don’t trust Apple folks, it’s just that I have learned never to take the “Fixed!” assertion at face value.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •brother in law lives down the street, I pass it all the time. I’m wondering between the heavy rains and the vibrations off the 720/Ville-Marie (literally right beside it)…
The residents in the building-beside-the-collapsed-wall have had to break in to get their stuff (cat, tools, etc) only to find they’ve already been robbed. (There’s a security guard posted but he’s only watching the front.) (Cat and tools were recovered, $2k+ bike and others were gone)
