I'm telling y'all, if sighted people had to deal with the kind of senseless bullcrap that blind people *have* to deal with, daily, there would be very widespread protests. Public ones. Miles of people.

So, imagine this. You go to Google. Or Kagi. Whatever you like. The text box has "search" as a placeholder text. When you type into the field, the "search" is supposed to be replaced with what you're typing. So you go to search one day, and find that when you search for "cat food", you get "csatf aroochd". No matter what you do, that "search" is there, messing up all your searches. If you backspace everything out and try again, you get the same thing. No matter what. Now, you can click outside of the box, and type and press Enter and it works, but you don't see what's in the search box. You can paste your search in from notepad, but do you *really* want to do that? And this has been a problem for weeks now. You start to wonder if anyone at Google, uses Google.

And while this isn't entirely comparable with what's happening with the iOS Facebook app right now, it's the closest I can get. Truth be told, I don't post on Facebook. I haven't posted on there in like a year or two. So I, personally, don't have to deal with this. But for some people, Facebook is their lifeline. And no, that's not some stupid cliche like it sometimes is when overused by marketing teams. No. For some people, Facebook is how they communicate with their communities. And you had better not come in the replies all "well they should use Mastodon." No. Humble yourself. So this issue is a huge problem for them. And when you have elderly people who just want to talk to the people they care about involved, who know how to do it one way, and just stick to that because technology is so vast that one can easily get lost in their view? Things need to change. People need to understand these things. And while bugs suck and new frameworks are cool and Facebook loves to move fast and break things, if you want to do that, you'd better have a testing team that includes blind people, Braille users, dictation users, as wide a net as you can cast. And you know what? Maybe that'd cut down on that damn blind employment problem too. Fucking listen damn it! And I could go on and post on Facebook about this, using my computer because I'm privileged enough to have one and know how to work around accessibility issues, while I could even grab my Android phone, or dictate into my iPhone, I'm not the general blind person. And this isn't even just about Facebook, or just about this one situation. Developers of anything of any size should take this kind of thing to heart. And I know people are tired of me all on here dampening the party mood with all this anti-fun accessibility talk since like 2017, but at some point, we need to take things seriously. Because devs' "fun", building, developing, trying new frameworks and new updates sparkle sparkle, effects other people.

I'm hearing that Mozilla worked with Facebook to build this malware that they silently injected into our machines.

Reminds me of that episode of Batman where Batman teamed up with the Penguin to develop a more citizen-friendly system of crime and extortion so that the Penguin could stop having so many people murdered.

Oh, no, wait. That never happened because Batman knows who the fucking bad guys are.

Zusammenfassung der Posts zur #rp24 über die drei Tage. Fediverse mit einem klaren Vorsprung vor #Xcorp, #Bluesky und #Threads sind quasi gleichauf. #Linkedin konnte ich nur unvollständig erfassen, weil sie Suche dort nur einen eingeschränkten Zeitraum zurückgeht (und Posts haben keinen Veröffentlichungszeitpunkt, nur einen Veröffentlichungstag). #Facebook abgeschlagen am letzten Platz. #Instagram kann ich gar nicht mehr vergleichen, weil die Suche nur noch Top-Beiträge anzeigt, nicht mehr die aktuellsten. #TikTok Suche ist ebenfalls ungeeignet, weil Hashtags nicht exakt gematcht werden und deshalb die Ergebnisse statt mit re:publica mit RetourenPrinz24 voll sind. Solltet ihr Vorschläge für andere Plattformen haben, wo öffentliche Kommunikation zur Veranstaltung stattgefunden hat, lasst es mich wissen.

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

For alternatives, see: fedipact.veganism.social

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

But, hey, I might be wrong and the #W3C now fully believes in its new ethical web principles. In which case, they will no doubt take action and expel members that only exist because their business model relies on violating them.

#Google is fundamentally incompatible with the W3C’s ethical web principles and should be expelled from the W3C as it relies on violating section 2.5 (The web must…respect people’s privacy).

Also, §2.2 (The web should not cause harm to society).

Ditto #Facebook, etc.

Meta thinks your #privacy is for sale.

Would you pay 160 euros per year to Facebook & Instagram for respecting your right to privacy?

The EU bans Meta's use of personal data for behavioural advertising.

The European Data Protection Board said Wednesday it had adopted a binding decision that will ban Facebook and Instagram owner Meta from using the personal data of users for targeted advertisements.

Earlier this year Norway imposed a ban on sending Facebook and Instagram users targeted advertisements based on their personal data.

Norwegen greift durch – aufgrund anhaltender Verstöße gegen EU-Recht durch #Meta hat das Land ein dreimonatiges Verbot für personalisierte Werbung auf Facebook und Instagram erlassen.

Stop making posts I would care about look the same as #ads. That's a design decision you can change, fuckers.
