Warning! The new Thunderbird 115 and the most recent Thunderbird 116 betas are a mess in terms of accessibility, and the issues affect NVDA and JAWS equally. Even expanding/collapsing folders via Left/Right generates huge delays and triggers the CPU, and tabbing around the interface is a pain. The older Thunderbird 102 has none of this. Definitely avoid these releases if you want no hiccups. Just wondering what's happening on the other side of Mozilla.

I think we have given hateful and bigoted instances more than enough opportunities to change their ways and not be sources of abuse and harm.

So now they are going to adapt to us.

And expecting people to have a standard of basic decency and decorum is not too much to ask.

It's the bottom rung of the lowest ladder of human interaction.

I'm not a centrist.

I don't believe there are legitimate 'two sides' to the moderation and safety debate.

There are people who believe in safety, and there are those who will not respect the agency and boundaries of people they dislike and try to harm them because of it.

There is no 'middle ground' when it comes to respecting the autonomy and boundaries of another person. I am not 'negotiating' how much harm is acceptable.

If your version of 'fairness' requires marginalized and targeted communities to be 'reasonable' and 'understanding' of places that cause harm, you're in the wrong place.

#riscv diehards and nerds, has anyone you know of or have you yourself ever seen or used the XCalibyte risc-v laptop? I am thoroughly convinced that the whole thing was a vaporware crypto scam given everything the company stated. I am curious to see if I'm wrong, and if not, to track down what that story really is.

The #AltText and broader #Accessibility community has stepped up in a big way, and we've reached a good place to start on next steps for https://alt-text.org

We're still looking to connect with folks who might want to help in the future, especially those who can help us test the accessibility and usability of the project for those who rely on alt text.

Everyone can help by boosting, and following to get updates.

Een groep boeren op Schiermonnikoog die met succes de uitstoot van stikstof heeft verminderd, is bang om het eigen succesverhaal naar buiten te brengen.

Veel van deze boeren wordt door boeren op het vasteland verraad verweten. Dat zegt Jan Willem Erisman. https://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/binnenland/10490189/boeren-op-schiermonnikoog-wordt-verraad-verweten

@kiwa speaking of retro installers, I wasn't ready for ultra wide install shield blue gradient

Something we ALL need more practice with…saying “thank you but I don’t want to”

No searching for “excuses”

No overthinking

No anxiety

No guilt

Just a simple “thank you but I don’t want to”

i've been looking at single board computers and it's kinda disappointing how many of them have ~AI accelerators~ now tbh. i don't need 8 teraflops of numberwang, i'd rather have some SATA ports

Several times people at this conference have expressed gratitude that COVID is "over" or "past", yet talks keep getting cancelled because presenters "aren't feeling well" 🤷

I'll keep my mask on, thanks

Bring back computer monitors with massive bezels around the edge.
I have nowhere to put stickers lol

I don't think bluesky is ever gonna do their federation thing. If they were, they would've done it already, so they can massively scale up infra and user count while their main server is still restricting signups.

Just a reminder that you typically find #bugs and #spiders in your sink because they fall in and can't get out, not because they want to live there (though the water source is probably welcome). Not all small creatures can climb smooth surfaces.

If this is a frequent issue, you can make a little escape ladder by putting a bit of string or toilet paper down so any critters at the bottom can climb out.

David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"

I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!

ETA: Apparently it was a parody account that said the stairs line. I still want it on a T-shirt.
