Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Reminder that if you build websites, the #Firefox browser has built in #accessibility checks. It's not everything, but it's a start. #UX #a11y
Open your site in FF, press F12 (or CTRL + SHIFT + i) and select the Accessibility tab
LLM/GPT shit, sarcasm
Great news! Now instead of straight-up using artists' work without proper attribution directly, YouTube music channels can launder it through an "AI" plagiarism machine to "create something original"!

please game developers, please, PLEASE, add font size options to your UI heavy games. I am so tired of having to bail from a game because I simply can't read the UI easily.

Does anyone in the US have experience or anecdotes regarding removal of those "Neighborhood Watch" signs?
I have one in my front yard, and they're all over on other streets (not all), but are otherwise invisible in the day-to-day because of their omnipresence.
I was just reminded of it the other day, and it seems to give off police-state/sundown vibes to me, and I don't want to participate in that or support it. AFAICT, they're not owned by any government agency?

For fellow instance admins
If you block that instance that's doing bad stuff EARLY:
1. You can actually *prevent* abuse rather than just feel bad that it's a thing that happens and wonder why nothing could be done about it
2. You can influence the other instance's policies if they see quick and decisive backlash
3. You can prevent an instance from becoming "too big to block" in the minds of others
But you have to actually block them at the FIRST sign of trouble, not after the damage is done

Meta, 'too big to block'
There's no such thing as an instance that's 'too big to block' -- don't let FOMO override your values. You can have a great time here on the fedi just hanging out with folks from small instances you really like.

use the word "classist" more
Whenever you see it
In your daily interactions
Offline and online
At work, at play
Don't be afraid to explain what you mean by "classist."
It's not a word people are used to hearing, and they should
