I saw something I thought was important to read, but it was posted on Twitter/X. Which is literally impossible to even look at on my phone without installing its app. I wish people who like to post these links understood why this is a problem. #accessibility

@feorlen This means a lot. Former twitter platform has a very clear policy on which target it's addressed to. People with disability are not welcome.
As soon as Musket acquired it, he fired the accessibility team. And the first thing I did was permanently delete the profile. I think that every person caring for social causes should escape from there; I know, Jesus went to sinners, not to "pure" folks. But you can not pursue any cause if you're invaded by rubbish. -

The previous web UI was always meh for me, only usable on desktop as well. But there was an entire ecosystem of 3rd party apps. That is the only way I could use it on my phone.
Now for mobile it’s the official apps or unusable for me web in a browser. I don’t trust most mobile apps and particularly those for services where I’m the free content/data creator and not the customer.

@talksina I used to be an early adopter of social media services, ones many today have forgotten or never heard of. Being in tech can be like that. Not only did many friends rush to try them, many also worked for those companies.
Which maybe explains why now I only publish my updates here. From a small instance of people who met on a previous social media service that tried to be different but couldn’t survive in a world of big, shiny, and “free”

@feorlen Twitter had those 3rd party apps working good. We didn't even care about the web interface. And this is the main disadvantage of having a system which is open to 3rd party clients. It lets you neglect the effort of reporting bugs in the center of the echosystem: web interface.

Proton Mail ha sospeso gli account dei giornalisti su richiesta dell'Agenzia per la sicurezza informatica. I giornalisti stavano denunciando presunti hacker nordcoreani. Proton ha ripristinato i loro account solo dopo una protesta pubblica.
Proton, l'azienda che gestisce il servizio di posta elettronica Proton Mail, si descrive come un "rifugio neutrale e sicuro per i tuoi dati personali, impegnato a difendere la tua libertà".
Ma il mese scorso, Proton ha disattivato gli account di posta elettronica di giornalisti che denunciavano violazioni della sicurezza di vari sistemi informatici del governo sudcoreano, a seguito di una denuncia da parte di un'agenzia di sicurezza informatica non meglio specificata. Dopo una protesta pubblica e diverse settimane, gli account dei giornalisti sono stati finalmente ripristinati, ma i giornalisti e i redattori coinvolti vogliono ancora sapere come e perché Proton abbia deciso di chiudere gli account.

Guida per i manutentori open source su come dire di no. La gestione nell'era del codice a basso costo
Uno degli aspetti più difficili del mantenimento di un progetto open source è dire "no" a una buona idea. Un utente propone una nuova funzionalità. È ben progettata, utile e non presenta evidenti difetti tecnici. Eppure, la risposta è "no". Per l'utente, questo può essere sconcertante. Per il manutentore, è un atto di gestione necessario.

@mcdanlj for a moment there I thought maybe a Blue Alert was for notifying the public about cops doing crime. But, that would blow up everybody's phone all day every day, so maybe not a great idea, either.

The two others stopped in the last few years.

Hey, thanks for all the responses. I am yes, but only one of three (two terrestrial, one wireless).

A defining characteristic of fascism, that you can find in any textbook on the subject, is picking a powerless minority to scapegoat to unify its base while distracting from the crimes of the government and its allies.
This comes to mind for no particular reason.
