I missed this from @scottohara when it was published back in January:

“Setting expectations for asking ChatGPT web accessibility questions
Or: Hey computer. I need 5 accessibility, pronto. How do I even”

Related to last re-toot: if the new hip VC-backed social platform you choose to join is also inaccessible — and you work in anything that touches front-end — you have told me all I need to know about the lip service you pay to users of your work.

I am looking for a good windows calendar solution that isn’t outlook, luna, or thunderbird, which will grab every one of my googgle calendars and stick the events in one place, preferabley in a list format. If you don’t have the answer please boost. If I can find this, my life would be so much easier.

Stack Overflow wants AI companies to pay up for training on its data, too.

The company is the latest to demand payment for training data, following Reddit and various publishers around the world. Wired has the story:

> “Community platforms that fuel LLMs absolutely should be compensated for their contributions so that companies like us can reinvest back into our communities to continue to make them thrive,” Stack Overflow’s Chandrasekar says. “We’re very supportive of Reddit’s approach.”

I was tagged into a conversation on overlays on LinkedIn (a platform I avoid) and apparently the Overlay Community Group is having its desired effect since some folks believe it will create overlay guidelines. It won’t. It’s just chaff.

Love when I’m told to “put up or shut up”—I get to do nothing AND not talk to anyone.

I found this in the on this day section of my journaling app this morning.

What if the sun isn’t a star but another planet with really lousy fire departments?
