US Big Tech: it’s okay to spy on users and send all this data to the other side of the world. :blobcatcoffee:

TikTok: okay! :blobcatcool:

US Big Tech: wait, no, not like that! :blobcat0_0:

I am not saying something should not be done about TikTok. I am saying the same thing should be done about all other privacy-invading social media crapps. And in fact should have been done years ago. :blobcatthinksmart:

Design is not art.

No, I don’t mean that design isn’t artistic. I mean that when you ask the questions “what is art?” and “what is design?”, you get fundamentally different answers.

Art has no function, it’s pure form.

Design has form and function, where the first priority is function.

So, to complain that accessibility is a creative barrier to good design, is like complaining that nutrition and hygiene are barriers to good cooking.

Whenever I feel stressed out this little guy comes to me and smooshes his little face against me and purrs.

And I remember I’m doing the best I can, that’s all I can do.

Here’s some #foodForThought : For some #disabilities, #accessibility in #gaming has historically been so bad that their only respite was to make their own games that work well for them, but rarely for other target audiences. This has created what may as well be separate worlds of games that will rarely intersect, and exceptions to the rule can be counted on two hands. This perpetuates segregation, and I wish we could all see just how much of a problem it really is.

people say that data protection and privacy law is dull and ask me why I do what I do. I do it because without privacy laws, shit like this, and much, much worse, can happen: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/09/catholics-gay-priests-grindr-data-bishops/

This toy is a twofer.
Summer spends a few minutes going around and around uncovering the hidden food.
My husband coaches from his recliner.
It keeps them both entertained.
With superb coaching and boundless enthusiasm, the food was found and consumed.
Rainy day California north coast antics.

Just like we should always ask “Could this meeting have been an email?”

…we should always ask “Could this PDF have been a web page?”

Please boost for reach: Fedora Linux is focusing on accessibility for the next five years. I’d love to see people with disabilities, very much including blind people, comment on this. If you’re interested in Linux, or free and open source software, your voices are valuable. I hope Fedora finds our voices valuable too.

Biden FCC nominee withdraws, following bruising lobbying battle. “It is a sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators,” Sohn said in a statement shared exclusively with The Washington Post. “And with the help of their friends in the Senate, the powerful cable and media companies have done just that.”
