LA Times owner seems to be in league with Trump, vetoing a Harris endorsement and then letting the campaign use standard-issue lies to smear the paper for something it didn't do.

The editorial page editor quit in protest and she deserves our respect.

She has more courage than the vast majority of our political press corps, which still normalizes Trump and will be culpable if he -- and then Vance -- become America's fascist rulers.

Deptali ho kukáním a ponižovali Haškem. Co zažil český velvyslanec v Rusku

Do letošního června velvyslanec v Rusku Vítězslav Pivoňka měl za úkol „dobýt ambasádu v Moskvě zpět“. Vrátit ji do českých rukou. Protože, jak říká, ji ovládaly ruské uklízečky, kukačky a štěnice.

We moved the Firefox Translations engineering channels from private Slack to a public Matrix channel, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. The project was a bit more closed in its infancy, but now that we are on a good track, everything is defaulting to much more open. This makes me happy.

Wonderful article from @bas on getting started with #accessibility. basbroek.nl/making-accessibili…

I love how he emphasizes that while accessibility is a vast space, we can start small and learn from the assistive technologies already built into our devices!

Making Accessibility Accessible

In ‘Building an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Time’, a presentation I recently gave at Swift Connection and SwiftLeeds, I spoke about “making accessibility accessible”. What does it mean, and how can we accomplish this?

"Boeing reports $6 billion quarterly loss ahead of vote by union workers who have crippled production"

Gotta love the implicit bias.

Let's fix it:

"Boeing reports $6 billion quarterly loss after crippling their production by not reaching a bargain with union workers"

Boeing reports $6 billion quarterly loss ahead of vote by union workers who have crippled production

Boeing can't produce any new 737s, however, until it ends the strike by 33,000 machinists that has shut down assembly plants in the Seattle area

The company doctors call "EvilCore" fits the description in every way.

Health insurance companies pay it to help them stiff policy holders. It's a scam on the American people.

Great reporting by @propublica

EviCore, the Company Helping U.S. Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Treatments

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

A big shout out to everyone at #A11yCamp yesterday. Sean spent a very informative day there leaning and networking on all the latest in #A11y / #Accessibility!

Photos are Sean with Riley Busch from the department of education, and a view of the Clarendon Auditorium filling up before the event started

As noted on the banner in the first photo, A11y Camp is Australia's premier conference on digital accessibility and inclusion.

I love KDE connect but for some reason it doesn't work for me a lot of times.
I made sure I'm using it correctly: same network, updated to stable, turn off content blockers. Yet most of the time, my Win10 laptop & mostly vanilla Android phone can't see each other.

EDIT: I figured I have the MS Store version inatalled. Fixed the issue hopefully forever
