Spent yesterday afternoon in jail after trying to blockade a TotalEnergies site in the #Antwerp harbor in #Belgium with #CodeRouge
While our group didn't get to the intended target, we took up a lot of police capacity to give our comrades the chance to complete our plans.
Shut that shit down!

With the new version, there are some improvements for #accessibility, such as the use of #screenreaders.

I hope #blind people can enjoy this #app.

Poll: how would you describe Mastodon and the migration from Twitter that started in late 2022 after the acquisition?

(You can check more than one reponse. Or, if you've got other descriptions, please leave them in the comments)

For my take, see Mastodon could have leaned into what it's good at

NV Access

@evilcookies98 Yes - and that's why. It is good to carefully check or see what others in the ocmmunity think - just because NVDA starts with an add-on overriding the compatibility check doesn't guarantee that it will work, but it can help you keep using an add-on which wasn't affected by a particular year's changes while you wait for the developer to update it.

Great news, everybody: the Librarian of Congress has stepped in to allow ice cream machines to be repaired.

I fucking hate it here. Even the “good” news demonstrates how terribly technocapitalism has fucked us up.

Absolutely horrifying story found via today's Boonta Vista podcast, but my total 100% honest reaction is:

"This is what WILL happen if your healthcare system is profit-based. You will get mowed down by the machine. Change your system."

The moral meltdown at the LA Times and Washington Post is a reminder that independent journalism is needed more than ever. It's also a reminder that being an independent journalist is HARD work, with challenges the "professionals" rarely see or grasp.

I urge you to read this from Molly White (hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff), one of the best we've seen:

I am my own legal department: the promise and peril of “just go independent”

Independent publishing is one important facet of the media ecosystem, and while I love it, I know it is not the path for everyone.

I wonder, what would’ve happened if WaPo just ran the endorsement - was Bezos gonna run down to the printer and shut off the press? Turn off the web site.

I know that it’s easy to say this, but… if I was EIC or whatever, I’d have tried to run the endorsement anyway. social.coop/@chrisjrn/11338000…
