While #Ladybird is trending, keep in mind the devs are misogynist and transphobic fucks 0:-)
The whole internet loves Milkshake Ladybird, a lovely browser not based on Chrome! *5 seconds later*

Once I told my colleagues that I despise capitalism more and more, the older I get.
My boomer colleague said exactly this to me...
Well no, I still despise it more, with every minute I live.
I turned 41 on Sunday and I've only gotten more radical since my 20s

Die ARD-Journalistin Kathrin Schmid demonstriert in ihrem Kommentar zur »Chat-Kontrolle« ihre offensichtliche technische Unkenntnis, indem sie Grundrechte polemisch gegeneinander ausspielt. In einem Beitrag zeigen wir, dass mit weniger Oberflächlichkeit und mehr Sachverstand der Sache des Kinderschutzes mehr gedient wäre. 👇

#TIL The sun is a huge high-gain antenna due to gravitational lensing. A hypothetical Voyager 3 can supposedly reach its >= 550 AU focal point in 50 years, which would allow a high-resolution optical scan of an exoplanet, or to receive alien livestreams from Alpha Centauri at 10 Mbps/watt with just a 1-meter telescope. https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.05570 https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11871

The last boost got me blocked by Aral, so now I'm treating it as a general message: If you're frustrated with the state of accessibility on Linux, please help us understand what isn't working for you or for those you care for. And please understand that we want to do better, and we're actively working to do better.

Really positive news on Wayland and accessibility for Linux users:

Further funding is needed to pay the developer to enable this to continue.
Fedora: “The Fedora Quality Team is joining Week of Diversity with an Accessibility Test Week!
Much like other Test Days, the goal of this week is to put Fedora through its paces and catch as many accessibility related issues as we can for our disable users.”
Me: Fedora, your screen reader is broken.
Fedora guy: Patches welcome 👍

In 1968, at 30 years old, Lynn Conway transitioned. In doing so she lost her wife, her children, and her job at IBM. She continued on, living authentically as her true self and continued her career as an electral engineer. In 1978 she became an associate professor at MIT and taught a course in VLSI (very large scale integration) that became the basis of the Mead-Conway VLSI Design Methodology, changing how we design integrated circuits. In 1985 she became a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, and later the associate dean of engineering.
32 years after transitioning, Conway came out publicly as a transgender woman. Since than she has been a advocate for transgender people in the tech sector. In 2020 IBM formally apologized for firing Conway for being trans, over 50 years after the fact. Just a bit of #transHistory I learned today.
Big news: Kitsune Tail's Steam Next Fest demo is live now! Go get it at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 and experience the first part of this queer furry love triangle wrapped in an SMB3 jacket
You should definitely check the options. There's a CRT shader in Kitsune Tails made by @JoshJers which isn't on by default (because people get upset by that kinda thing) but playing with it on is totally the recommended experience
And for those of you who have Steam Decks, we've verified it works on that, too! And there's a new reveal trailer, showing off some of the bosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBcm5fagUU

Es gibt ein „KI-Dilemma“.
Das Recht stößt nicht an technische Grenzen.
Die Technik stößt an rechtliche, ethische, moralische und ökologische Grenzen.

What do the Prime Minister of France, the founder of #CreativeCommons, the COs of #RedHat and @opensuse and thousands of children have in common? They all love 💕 "Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream"
💥 We want to go create an animated movie about Ada’s story!
🚀 To produce the movie in English, French, German, and Italian will cost us €40,000. Your donation will make a difference for many children who will be inspired by Ada!
I've read at least 3 very good posts/essays about why "no politics" rules are inherently conservative political stances in their own right and harmful to marginalized people, whose lived experiences are politicized, does anyone have a link to one handy?
I'm hoping to convince the moderators of a popular Discord server to change their "no politics" policy into a more proactive and supportive one. They've already said they're willing to consider it if I can give them a good argument
Please boost for wider reach
