Meet Josh: a sportsman who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy
"The missing piece is usability testing with disabled users. Even with good intentions, accessibility efforts can fall short without real user involvement."
Meet Josh, a sportsman who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Between training for the Olympics and his busy day job, Josh talks to us about how navigating the web is constantly evolving, how he adapts to various assistive technologies, and his hopes and c…
A Trump State Department official, acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs Darren Beattie, has on a number of occasions called for the sterilization of “low-IQ trash”.
Republicans just voted to put a Putin apologist with no real intelligence experience in charge of our intelligence community. The Director of National Intelligence should be someone with integrity, experience, and commitment to our national security — not Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard is fundamentally unfit for this role. Her willingness to align herself with adversaries like Putin and Assad demonstrates a disregard for the principles and priorities of U.S. foreign policy. cbsnews.com/news/tulsi-gabbard…
One Republican — Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — joined Democrats in voting against Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as director of national intelligence.
But every Senate Republican (except for Mitch McConnell) just voted to confirm Gabbard. These Senate Republicans think they can get away with it. They think we’ll forget. They think their shameless betrayals of the people they work for will go unanswered.
Last night, Senators Susan Collins (ME), Thom Tillis (NC), Dan Sullivan (AK), Jon Husted (OH), Joni Ernst (IA), and all 48 of their Republican allies voted to confirm Project 2025 author Russell…
As you may have heard, 17 states have sued the US government to overturn Section 504, a landmark piece of civil rights legislation that's provided #Disabled Americans with equal access to schools, medical facilities and other aspects of public life for more than 50 years. The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund is holding a webinar to discuss this lawsuit and provide ways we can fight back. Register here: dredf-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi…

This week in The Big Picture: California AG Rob Bonta on how he’s pushing back against Trump’s unconstitutional orders—and winning. Plus, tomorrow, Jay Kuo breaks down how the courts and other institutions of resistance are trying to outmaneuver the Trump administration’s relentless game of cat-and-mouse. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…
The #AssociatedPress said it was blocked from covering Trump‘s #ExecutiveOrder signing today because it declined to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its editorial style standards.
There are times when the wind fills your sails, and then there are weeks when everything just feels like a mess, oozing from all directions. No matter what you do, how hard you try, or how much effort you put in, it all turns out wrong. Experience whispers that I just need to grit my teeth and push through this swamp, no matter what. But my inner child just wants to crawl under a blanket, close my eyes, and hope all the monsters disappear.
I'm making my way through the Ditto help page. It so far is written in a very easy to understand style and the author(s) emphasize keyboard usage, which is great. github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/wik…
Ditto is an extension to the Windows Clipboard. You copy something to the Clipboard and Ditto takes what you copied and stores it in a database to retrieve at a later time. - sabrogden/Ditto
I used Ditto a long time ago, but got out of the habit of reinstalling it on new computers and just started using Windows clipboard history. You inspired me to look at Ditto again, and I'm glad I did!
@cj Glad to hear it. Ditto has become one of my must-have tools. I like the clipboard history and I regularly used it but Ditto takes it to a whole new level. It's easier to navigate and it preserves clipboard history items after a restart.

CVSS is short for Common Vulnerability Scoring System and is according to Wikipedia a technical standard for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in computing systems.
Amazon is removing the ability to download purchased Kindle content, which is the only way to read it on my Kobo or elsewhere. What this means is I will no longer be purchasing (“a license to”–ick) any books by the mostly independent authors who exclusively publish there; just cancelled preorders.
I want everyone to know that I do not support plans to protest at 11 a.m. Saturday in front of Tesla dealerships, and that especially includes the Tesla dealership at 14010 Perry Hwy (Route 19), Wexford, PA 15090, and certainly not 1400 Brockwell St., Bridgeville, PA 15017.

At least since The Canterbury Tales, the setting of the medieval tavern has held out the promise of adventure. For their customer base during the actual Middle Ages, however, they had more utilitarian virtues.
If you are running on GoToSocial v0.17.3 or below, you should update to v0.17.4 as soon as possible. It's a very small update from v0.17.3 -> v0.17.4 as it contains only some code logic changes, and no database migrations.
In short, when a dereferencing bug is triggered under a specific set of circumstances it can cause loss of account data on affected instances. It's a rare thing to be triggered, but when it does happen it really, really stinks, and necessitates restoring from backup or manually editing the database to get things working again. (It's not possible to access or tamper with data by triggering the bug, only destroy it.)
We'll release a proper CVE for this in a couple of days when admins and packagers have had a chance to update.
Please note that folks who are already on v0.18.0-rc1 or latest snapshots are unaffected and do not need to do anything, as the bug occurs specifically in v0.17.3 and below. This means if you prefer to update straight from v0.17.3 to v0.18.0-rc1 then that's also an option; you can follow the release notes for v0.18.0-rc1 in this case.
So! If you know folks on GtS v0.17.3 or below, please let them know that they should take action! Link them to this post if you want! And please boost for visibility :)
Here's version 0.17.4 of GoToSocial. This is a very important security bugfix release that addresses a dereferencing bug which, when triggered under a specific set of circumstances, can cause loss ...
Ever since we introduced Beau to the cat-related YouTube channels on the smart TV, he regularly jumps up in my lap when I'm on the computer, peers intently at the screen for a few seconds, then hops away, to make sure I'm not secretly watching birds without him.
I feel like there's a trust issue here that we need to resolve.
We stay strong against hate and hatred, and in response to the recent abuse campaign on our platform, we have renewed our commitment to fight for a better world. We apologize to everyone who was greeted with an abusive message this morning.
I do not accept your apologies because there is nothing to apologize for! Some assholes mass-spamed hate speech, you handled it perfectly, thanks for the awesome service you provide. ❤
@nicoco I got so anxious in the first half of your answer, because: Why would anyone not accept this apology? 😅 You're right, this was a very good response, especially quick and transparent. Well done, Codeberg team!
