RE: mastodon.laurakalbag.com/@laur

Laura’s book was one of my all-time favorites in our former publisher’s library, and I’m just DELIGHTED that she’s managed to bring it back.

(And yes, I can confirm: it absolutely holds up.)

And on a personal note: accessibility also deserves better than an army of lawyers, who put efforts into finding loopholes so that your products don't have to comply with EAA (European Accessibility Act). Let's stop this nonsense, and, put budget into training developers, designers, project managers, even stakeholders.

Burning CD's.
Millennial witchcraft.
😂

A post from social media from someone named Actually Chloe that says - "Serious question for millennials... my older cousin said she used to 'burn' CDs for her crush. Like... with fire? Was that a ritual? Did it work? You guys were literally practicing witchcraft just to get a text back and I'm scared of y'all.

A reply from someone named Jake Zel says "The old magic will not be discussed with the children of new."

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that "it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all."

Someone sponsored a pile of copies of 1984 at our local indie bookstore so they could give them away for free.

They were gone in less than 3 hours.

I found out this morning that another anonymous person donated $500 to restock the supply.

I assumed anyone who wanted to read 1984 would have done so by now, but clearly that's not the case.

Good news for the community, good news for the bookstore, just plain good.

Screenshot of Facebook post describing give away of 1984 books with photos of the display.

Un banco me avisa de que comienzan a usar RCS para que sus mensajes sean más fáciles de diferenciar de los SMS malignos.

Porque claro, que no se pueda enviar un SMS falso con un encabezado que diga "nombre de banco" es IMPOSIBLE.

que yo entiendo (aunque no me guste) que tu canal de comunicación siga siendo X, pero... ¿abrir cuentas en otras redes y replicar la información?

(y de montar un servidor de Mastodon a nivel administración pública y ofrecer cuentas a instituciones y empresas ya no hablo, claro)

On January 14, 2006 John Resig introduced a JavaScript library that came to be known as jQuery! Wow!

jQuery is over 20 years old?! 😱🫠

Thanks @jquery standards team for helping me to get involved!

Wikipedia turns 25 today! 🎂📚

To celebrate, we’re looking back at its baby pictures—some of the earliest captures of the site, preserved in the #WaybackMachine.

Take a nostalgic peek at early Wikipedia ⤵️

Countries where non-voters would be the strongest voting bloc / party

A map of Europe indicating countries where non-voters would have been the strongest political entity in the most recent parliamentary election between 2021 and 2025. Countries highlighted in red are those where the percentage of non-voters exceeded the vote share of the leading political party. Countries in green indicate that the strongest party received more votes than the number of non-voters. A few countries are shown in grey, likely indicating missing data.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from Open Source, or if you're simply interested in questions about digital sovereignty, please visit ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r for details on how to contribute.

Hey all,

I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.

Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?
