I always enjoy Posy's obscure deep dives. I'm impressed in 1993 this device could show a list of nearby radio stations using RDS.

Firefox's newest update introduces a "Copy Without Site Tracking" context menu button.

I feel like I'm in the minority of users that painstakingly removes tracking params on every link I share, so this is a really nice QoL improvement.

Everyone should immediately stop contributing to the stack overflow and its network. The human touch is what made it unique. Delete your profile from SO AND all your answers. Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions.

Over and over AI is being deployed as a way to avoid the high cost of human mental labor.

You'd rather have a bank of servers huffing clouds of carbon into the air than just paying some people to solve the design problem.

I know hiring programmers to work on UI isn't glamorous, and the work is slow, the results aren't flashy, but we just can't keep on skipping this step or wishing that some cocktail-shaker full of matrices and stolen data will paper over the issue.

Regarding last boost, reminder that โ€™s product still does not work:
https://indieweb.social/@NicMakesStuff/112352097486830058

No overlay product is capable of remediating a site and all of them (that I have tested) introduce WCAG violations.

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@aardrian Yeah it's true. We have one client, who's site is fully WCAG 2.0 AA compliant, but they keep it only because they think it looks good from a PR perspective (we've tried to get them to remove it). And another client who Adrian had actually mentioned in a previous blog post about getting sued despite having accessiBe, and today they would rather pull their site offline than have an a11y overlay run on their site.

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@aardrian Right. Though I'll say the client who got sued, in response they brought on a dev who really cares about accessibility. I've never had a client come back with so many QA bugs on screenreader experience. So, I gotta say it was a win for a11y, and frankly I learned a lot too. Just unfortuante it had to happen that way haha.

edit: I realize now that I'm also on fosstodon, so green would be the intended color.

I would like to personally thank the Sun for blasting out four solar flares simultaneously on the same week I explain solar storms and also warn folks about the dangers of them.

@badastro The article says CME's don't emit a ton of visible light, so let's say this theoretically occured during the eclipse, you probably still wouldn't get much of a show as a naked eye observer? I presume no more than a prominence that seems to flicker.

I gotta say since switching to FOSS finance tool, Actual Budget, I've been really happy with the experience. They've struck a nice balance between minimal, but powerful.

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@proactiveservices I have not, but I'm surprised by how readable it is. I used to use Mint and similar finance tools that basically sell all of your data, so that's the driving factor I started looking at self-hosted solutions like Actual Budget.

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@proactiveservices Yeah for real. I actually work at a marketing agency now, while I do fight the good fight, I can say that decision makers at any business when faced with the question, "do we want data about our customers", it's a no-brainer and hard to convince otherwise!

People are definitely becoming more aware of how apps use their data, but I think the real issue is we don't have enough alternatives like Actual Budget.
