A tale of two scandalous Justice Department firings, and how WaPo covered each. Which is to say: today, not at all. Democracy dies in broad daylight.

@MastodonEngineering Absolutely fantastic news as something I really want. Currently people putting links into a post is really inefficient & less accessible for me as a blind user - Much better when can just read the text of the original really easily

@sjtaylor I'm up in Cairns FNQ. And my wife, Jo, who is a Thermomix consultant (it was her blog post) tells me they said it is on the top 10 list but still no timing info or what the other items are on the list

@sjtaylor Where do you live by the way? Australia?

@sjtaylor Manufacturer is EU (Germany) based & the EU has much better disability discrimination legislation than Australia where I am so I think best to bring to European blindness orgs attention and coordinate efforts - whether that is letter writing or legal action will depend on their timeline as on dev list is very vague

@sjtaylor Blindness orgs in the EU were poised to launch legal action before Covid & then other priorities for many things took over. The TM7 was only just announced this morning Australian time & extremely disappointing that no speech on machine itself & not integrated with any voice assistants yet. Question was asked by consultants & on dev list apparently.

@glenngabe Do they mean search from Google.com or search on Youtube itself? I guess I am one of the few who still finds videos through Google search!

@Woody @graemeinnes Oh my god - poor you. I wouldn't fly on Jetstar unless it was the only choice & even then try & find a different airport and route! Have had multiple Human Rights Commission incidents with Jetstar in the past when they were the only option & never again

@Woody I always require the airline to provide one - Otherwise they are likely to say your mat doesn't comply etc and the mat wouldn't achieve anything anyway if an accident occured - Have travelled on both Virgin & Qantas recently & both provided the mat no problems

@rolle Really like Rocket.net that I host with & they have some great WP enterprise options. Kinsta of course is top tier & I am sure they could custom configure the right solution using top of the line Google Cloud solutions but it won't be cheap of course. In the past I would have said Pagely of course but under new ownership & management I don't know enough

@dangillmor @jaykuo And in addition Substack has a terrible UI/UX for readers

Matt Mullenweg Has Lost His Way And Is Taking It Out On The Community. The Latest…

Roger Montti over at Search Engine Journal reported that the latest in the WordPress Drama had dropped. Matt Mullenweg, the “leader” of the WordPress project has barred longtime supporter of the project Joost De Valk from speaking at WordCamp Asia, because Matt feels Joost stabbed him in the back.

Matt Mullenweg, co-creator of WordPress, posted a statement on X (formerly Twitter) announcing that Joost de Valk was no longer speaking at WordCamp Asia and was persona non grata for having “stabbed” him when he was vulnerable and betraying his confidence. Mullenweg cited statements by de Valk to prove his point, but those statements were presented without their full context, which significantly altered their meaning.

Matt is seriously unhinged. And what’s scary is that WordPress is suffering because of this insanity. WordPress powers ~40% of the Websites on the Web. There is a lot at stake here if Matt goes nuclear.

He brought this on himself. And now Matt is paying the price for his actions. But sadly he’s taking the whole fucking community down with him.

There are efforts to make sure this doesn’t happen, or hopefully doesn’t. But it has a lot of us on edge, me included.

Seriously, this is one more thing that many of us don’t need right now.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is no more.

It was created by Congress, not the executive. It is funded by the Fed, not the Treasury. By law, the president cannot shut it down. But Elon Musk has shut it down.

It protected consumers from lawless predation by the finance industry. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/113974644448981130
