I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.

So, I've long argued that all of software dev's dysfunctions can be traced to the fact that business outcomes do not depend on software quality, design, or reliability. As long as this dynamic continues the software we use will only get worse

It's that time of the year, I am open for #audio mixing and mastering, as well as #restoration jobs on the Fediverse.
Even better, for the entire month of December, I will do it for completely #free, especially if it's meant to be a gift, or you are looking to preserve dear memories.
If you need professional quality, custom ear-tailored audio work that sounds good and translates nicely, no matter where you listen, get in touch and let's discuss your needs.

Picture 2: As expected, Gibson Guitars’ lawyers are now all over this.
That is right — a US President-Elect is trying to steal the intellectual property of one of the most famous US guitar brands.

Nuove fughe di notizie sulla tecnologia di sblocco dei telefoni della polizia
Secondo un report di 404 Media esamina le capacità di Graykey, uno strumento di hacking progettato per aiutare la polizia ad accedere ai dati sui dispositivi mobili. Documenti trapelati suggeriscono che Graykey può estrarre solo dati parziali da iPhone moderni e aggiornati (da iPhone 12 e successivi). I documenti non specificano cosa comporta l'estrazione "parziale", sebbene i report precedenti suggeriscano che ciò potrebbe includere metadati sui file, anziché il contenuto di tali file. I dispositivi più vecchi, come iPhone 11, sono apparentemente vulnerabili all'estrazione "completa".

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.3.1 has been released!
Here is a summary of the changes:
- feat: add profile recovery screen;
- fix: review inline content alternate text;
- fix: strip off HTML before editing posts;
- enhancement: improve timeline a11y;
- enhancement: add friendica.myportal.social to default instances;
- chore: add unit tests for content pagination and repositories;
- chore: dependency updates.
This is mostly a bugfix release dealing with the most annoying issues you reported (e.g. the lack of management for expired tokens, accessibility issues, post editing with markup). Plus, since I've been adding a lot of unit tests, some minor bugs (e.g. direct messages pagination) were resolved too.
I'll keep populating the backlog with what you report and I'll continue to add tests to increase coverage.
