@rowdyamerican I know the feeling. I need to create more.

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

@annaecook Congratulations Anna!

Actions speak louder than words and this apology letter from the CEO of Accessibe makes me more suspicious than anything else. The fact that this letter doesn’t yet exist on any of their media also speaks volumes.

Can we please stop spending so much money on finding better ways to kill people, and get me the robot maid that the Jetsons promised me?!

Everyone has a
fundamental right to communicate without being observed by an undesired third-party.This was the norm before. It needs to become the norm again.
Privacy is a Human Right.
End-to-end encryption enforces this right 🔒✨

The FDA DID NOT end its ‘ban’ on blood donations. It EASED the restrictions. There is a MASSIVE difference.
Before:
Men who have sex with men must ABSTAIN from sex entirely for 3 months to donate.
Now:
People who have sex with a NEW partner, or more than one partner, in the last three months, cannot donate. And still no anal sex for 3 months before you donate.
Slightly better? Yes.
Now EVERYONE is being judged by the same criteria. But…. To say “No anal sex for 3 months before you donate” is STILL primarily targeting gay men.
And that is not better.
I remain perplexed, since it’s not like the labs aren’t checking donations to make sure you don’t have some surprise disease (I know someone who learned they had leukaemia from a donation).
Make a note and let them donate.

‘You almost feel like the blog post announcement is a cry for help from the team of engineers who built this, as it practically screams out “Elon demanded we get this done, and look, this was the best we could do in the period of time he gave us”‘ https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/11/twitter-launches-not-actually-encrypted-encrypted-dms/

@jason Oh, and the moderation disaster that is Bluesky. It's sort of flying by the seat of its pants with regard to moderation, and, should it eventually federate, that will have an impact on what's already part of the fediverse.

@jason Well, for starters, because Bluesky has promised federation, but has yet to do so. Next, there are concerns about what BS will do with content it has access to as a result of federation should it federate, because apparently it's the typical data hoover with the typical end result, selling data to create revenue. Hope this is helpful.

ARCHIVE EVERYTHING. Twitter’s inactive accounts policy is now 30 days without logging in – and they’re already taking accounts down.

Twitter’s announcement of so-called “end-to-end encrypted” direct messages is complete garbage and an exercise in gobbledygook. Here’s the major caveats:
1. It’s not available to all Twitter users — you must be subscribed to Twitter Blue
2. It must be deliberately opt-in for use
3. You can only send encrypted messages to people who follow you
4. Does not work with groups
5. Only works with text or links — don’t even think of encrypting photos!
6. Where are these messages being stored?With all those caveats, why use Twitter’s end-to-end encryption at all?
Even Elon Musk doesn’t trust this feature right now. He’s said, “try it, but don’t trust it yet.”
