I wish I could clean mirrors for a living. It's just something I can see myself doing.

The National Federation of the Blind is continuing constructive discussions with Meta about Facebook #accessibility regressions.
We’d like to hear if those using the current Facebook for iOS build are still experiencing the bug where it is not possible to review content you write when composing a Facebook post.


Just to give everyone an update. They looked at the X-rays done on me this afternoon right away, and they saw the exact kidney stone that was giving me trouble. It was right where I said it was. Holy cuckoo clocks these things cause pain. But I think it's finally coming out. Kidney stones. I feel like some eged person discussing health issues.
in reply to Bruce Toews

Good one. No, honestly, it was not meant as a pun. I wouldn't joke about someone else's suffering; if the one doing the suffering wants to do so that's fine but it's not something I would ever intentionally do.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield I didn't think so. But I had to be sure. And it is passing, so we won't call it suffering so much as infinitely painful inconvenience.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

In 2022, the CAQ was re-elected on the promise of providing a family doctor to every Quebecer...

It's 2024, and 1 in 4 Quebecers, or around 2.1M do NOT have a family doctor.

This F*CKING FAUX LAÏCITÉ BS needs to stop and the CAQ need to get each and every one of us a family doctor... or GTFO.

I've said this before, but I think Bluesky's growth spike should motivate folks who believe in the fediverse to build the sturdiest and most intuitive and safest fedi platforms they can in the next year or two, because if Bluesky does go the way you think it will, all those people heading there now will all need good homes.

(Full disclosure, I am going to mute this thread, as my kid says, immediently.)

"How he’s developed and wielded this influence over two decades is one of the more consequential and underappreciated shapers of the failed global response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Entering year two, this response has been defined by a zero-sum vaccination battle that has left much of the world on the losing side."

Request Tracker, an open-source issue tracker we use at work, has had almost completely inaccessible dropdowns ever since 5.0. In the last couple days, I've been poking around, trying to work out why. They use Bootstrap 4.6, which is way behind, and even Bootstrap 5.x seems to have accessibility problems. They take an unordered list, a text input, and a hidden input, and try to simulate a select element. You know what's fully accessible? A SELECT ELEMENT! Just use what's already there, people!

we had an issue today where they wanted ticked checkboxes that didn't do anything when clicked. Disabling them wasn't on the table. Crazy.

The people who told you that "suppressing" the Hunter Biden laptop story was a national scandal are the same people who want to bury the House Ethics Committee's report about Matt Gaetz's raping and sex trafficking.


🫠 Há 10 anos, #NaData de hoje mas em 2014, o Groupon desistiu de registrar a marca Gnome para uso em um futuro sistema de terminais de ponto de venda.

Após ser contatada pelo projeto GNOME (do ambiente desktop open source) sobre a duplicidade, a empresa continuou tentando o registro, mas desistiu após o fato ser noticiado.



I want to recommend my friend for a job at the Internet Archive as a video archivist. If anyone has any tips on how I can best support their application, I would love to hear it. I think they'd be fricking awesome at it.

What To Use Instead of PGP

It's been more than five years since The PGP Problem was published, and I still hear from people who believe that using PGP (whether GnuPG or another OpenPGP implementation) is a thing they should be doing. It isn't. The part of the free and open source software community that thinks PGP is just dandy are the same kind of people that happily use…

I want this to be a shorthand, like "sealioning" or "spoons". I'm gonna try again calling the thing I want to talk about "my cymbals".

Hey, can I cymbal you with something?

I've got some cymbals I want to bang.

Omg, Jordi, can you please stop banging those cymbals? We're talking about something else here.



Doing a screenshare with someone who has so many tabs open that they can't even read tab titles and they are constantly getting lost and having to open even more tabs is excruciating for me.

Been out for a walk first time by myself. It was nerve wracking but I was determined to grasp the nettle. Was so glad to have met a lady on crutches who had broken her ankle she was flying along what are the chances?! We chatted exchanged ankle break stories she gave me some good tips and she had built up to walking three times a day with longer walks she is just brilliant. I went “around the block” not too far and sat on a bench to take in the Autumn night air.

Keep it up! :) I wish you to get well soon and walk again like you used to. Also awesome you met someone who gave you tips. I wish you all the best. :)
