One of my favorite jokes is about a socialist who's just joined a nudist colony. He sits down next to someone and tries to strike up a conversation: "So, have you read Marx?"
"Yes," replies the other nudist irritably, "it's these damn wicker chairs."
@Miniver
Ah, the octagon house near my office in Irvington, NY!
@stux You shouldn't run on a bike... put your feet on the pedals and make them go around in circles instead. :D
@thunderbird
For voice/video chat integration, you COULD add webrtc plugins for things like Webcall servers or Jitsi Meet servers. Here's an example which someone built for Outlook: https://community.jitsi.org/t/plug-ins-for-adding-jitsi-meet-links-to-appointment-requests-emails/21564
@lutindiscret
2nd this! At least for the encryption compatibility. DC doesn't really "require" a chat style UX, (email works with any UI design) but a UI option that enables that style is definitely welcome.

Got to try some sweet new Lenovo laptops. https://pocketnow.com/hands-new-lenovo-slim-laptops

Also, if you prefer to still follow twitter users without an account and without using a bot mirror for mastodon, you can use #Fritter, a pretty decent client for Android that doesn't need an account to work, available on f-droid

For newbies here like me, a very good explanation of what is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse

Ha! I made my first mobile responsive site in 1999. Worked great on IE with CDPD on a PocketPC.
@leah Awesome. "Constanty" typo on page 18 though.

✨️ I made a thing! 🎉️
Check out my brandnew webcomic, "Contra Chrome":
Subtitle: How #Google‘s browser became a threat to #privacy and #democracy.
Featuring Shoshana Zuboff, vegan Piranhas, and everything you ever wanted to know about #Chrome but were afraid to ask!
Read and download for free – hope you like it! 😊
And if you do, please spread the word!

Thanks to @NLnetFDN and @NGIassure, the desktop version of Briar will get groups, forums and blogs. It will also run on Windows and MacOS.

I wrote another article about Briar so people know about a decent way to communicate in emergencies. https://pocketnow.com/how-keep-communicating-when-your-internet-disrupted
@alexandra The direction of pull of the strongest gravity field within range?
Here's a nice mid-range pen display. https://pocketnow.com/huion-kamvas-pro-16-pen-display-review
@naln1 @catgirl@flauschig.social Right, Briar won't work on iOS yet. Only Android & Linux so far. :-( Signal won't work if the internet goes down or its central servers are blocked, but it's better than Telegram or Threema.
@catgirl@flauschig.social I feel like Briar would be the better choice, especially if there are internet outages.
@catgirl@flauschig.social Not on Telegram though! As the article says, that's a bad idea. This one too: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2022/02/25/ukraine-warned-over-danger-of-russian-spying-on-unencrypted-telegram/?sh=3757d8487f82

If you work in product, content or UX design, accessibility is part of your job.
Not someone else’s.
Pass it on.
