How is it that within 10 minutes of the Online Safety Act, Ofcom is investigating 34 porn sites, yet in 30 years of disability legislation in the UK there hasn't been a single instance of case law for websites or apps because the EHRC has signally failed to support people with disabilities even when there is a strong case to be made? 😩

Ofcom investigates 34 porn sites over UK age verification

Ofcom said on Friday that more than 6,000 porn sites would begin verifying users, but it believes some are ignoring the new rules.

#PastPuzzle improved in #accessibility

As a developer, I try to make my software as accessible as possible for everyone. Unfortunately, I often lack a view from the user's perspective. I received a list from @dankeck with at least 10 suggestions for improvements, most of which I implemented in one night as if in a fever dream. The game is probably still a long way from being a screen reader user's dream, but I'm doing my best. Step by step! #webdev #a11y

my first thought was "that doesn't make sense" but on further thought what else makes sense?

If it takes an argument then does it matter that there's a space there or not? To my mind whatever follows it must be the argument to it.

One possibility would have been to require an error if there was no space there - it would catch folks who didn't realise there had to be an argument to it (maybe at the annoyance of those who say "but this takes an argument, why do I need a space?").

careful though. What does curl --proto=https do

Compare:
curl --proto https haxx.se # does cleartext http
curl --proto =https haxx.se # fails, because cleartext http not allowed

So, if you would use --proto=https, you might believe you prevented cleartext http but you didn't, I suppose you would need to do --proto==https for that.

BBC: Warning issued after US energy drink cans accidentally filled with vodka

"US authorities are warning consumers of Celsius energy drinks to check their cans after some were accidently filled with vodka.

The US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) issued the warning for the Astro Vibe Blue Razz edition of the drink.

The mix-up came about after a packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to the vodka seltzer company High Noon, which filled them with alcohol."

You know, I sometimes feel like I'm being kind of a bitch by refusing to subscribe to Substack newsletters, refusing to share Substack links. But this is why. Substack is a right-wing social media platform that uses its token left-wing writers and apolitical newsletters as cover. I don't want any part of that.

I'm attending one of the best academic AI conferences (ACL) this week, and the vast majority of papers presented are now from China. I've been to one session where, out of 8 papers, every single one was presented by somebody from that country.

This is my first time at ACL, but other attendees have said that this is not how things have been at previous editions.

The fraction of Chinese participants also went up, from ~30% last year to 51% this year. The US is at 18%, everybody else is single-digit percentages if that.

а вот с вопросом об остановке Израиля военным путем - мысль очень интересная.

сама хезбола явно не может, раз обращается к прогрессивному человечеству. а что боеспособного есть у прогрессивного человечества?

армии нато - сша и германия не одобрят
россия - вся под покровском
иран - ну вы понели

How to shrink your feed

I posted asking for help on this a bit ago, and while I didn't get any solutions, it did get my brain thinking outside of the box, and I found the solution, its easy, but proof that the UI, especially the settings layout really needs some work around here.

For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks

The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.

Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.
