Confronting disgrace for his disgraceful decision to showcase Trump and his MAGA supporters in a townhall meeting, CNN president Christ Licht says Trump supporters have been “ignored” and need media exposure.

Tom Nicholls responds:

“How anyone—especially the head of a news network—can believe that this group of people has been ignored is astonishing.”

FedEx has a new RESTful API. Great! We’re migrating to it at work. Finally, we can throw out SOAP and XML, and use JSON. Great! FedEx didn’t release any client libraries for this, not even in popular languages like PHP or Java. Annoying, but okay. Request a response, and you get headers and JSON. Great! Exactly what you’d expect. But what’s this? If your request results in an error, you get… You get… GZIP? Why? FedEx, why are you compressing 200 bytes of error data? WHY????

ok, like, you can’t ask people to opt out of features which can cause disorientation and other epileptic symptoms. this is usability 101.

telling me there is some checkbox that you can check to make misskey turn off animations is missing the point.

the checkbox should be to *opt into that feature*.

We appreciate that AccessiBe’s CEO is at least publicly attempting to repair their reputation. But actions speak louder than words, and unless they completely give up on the one-line-of-code-will-make-websites-accessible pitch and get serious about accessibility, this apology is merely the first step on the all too typical rehabilitation tour. https://nfb.org//images/nfb/publications/bm/bm23/bm2305/bm230503.htm
