Yet another shoutout for #a11y feedback…

If you’re based in (or have easy access to) London, UK and you primarily use a screenreader, would you be interested in testing out an image recognition app for an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington?

Do share around! Feel free to DM me for details.

Proud of my colleagues at Google and friends at Apple for collaborating on a technical standard for detecting unwanted trackers across Android and iOS. Working together protects all users, regardless of OS.

More to share at Google I/O!

fellow tech workers, looking at the screenwriters guild striking, do you not feel that we too need a union? how many pointless layoffs have there been so these huge companies run by trust fund goons could do stock buybacks?

we need a union.

If your experience of the Fediverse is that it’s just like Twitter in how much antisemitism you experience, that’s why I founded Babka and Babka Social, because that was my experience too.

Just having federation doesn’t make it safe for Jews online.

Babka makes a deliberate and focused effort to address antisemitism. It takes continuous hard work and dedication by myself, my staff, and the incredible volunteers who make Babka operate.
