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.

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.
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.

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.

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?
