@blockadeaustralia can you please put alt text on your images. It makes it easier to share.
Apple is now going to be selling your data through a rebooted Apple Ads 😔

Read about these shitsacks first.
These people would see me and my friends dead.

For those of you still following us, we would like to express our solidarity with #dropkiwifarms.
In 2019 they disrupted the #glimpse Matrix channel, then they targeted individual contributors, some of whom are still hiding and/or have threads on them today.
Outside of our own project, Kiwi Farms has driven their political enemies from their homes, off the Internet, and in some cases to suicide. We will all be safer when that website is finally gone.

@HiRezCanDo not exactly what your looking for but maybe https://farm.bot/pages/software could do some of what you want.
@Elizafox then you create an 'other' to make your enemy and say to the exploited 'you are better then those people, don't be like them'
@spla@soc.catala.digital @aral @gitea @codeberg@mastodon.technology if Gitea is not good enough for their developers to pull away from GitHub ... yet. Do they expect anyone to move away from GitHub to Gitea?
I would love Gitea to succeed and like the idea for Federation, but they are not leading people.
Just had a look at #Gitea and they don't even use Gitea! They use GitHub!! The screenshot on their homepage looks like GitHub with the icon switched. What's the point?
The cost of cars is very high and our governments pump billions of dollars making people buy and maintain these expensive machines.

First Nations Greens senator Lidia Thorpe calls Queen Elizabeth II “coloniser” during oath of allegiance.
What a legend.
@alcinnz yes! I had to create a modal for work and trying to make it keyboard accessible and not destroy everything on the site is near impossible.
@KatLH@scholar.social if you give me a block I'll go running from the front line to the nearest toilet 🤪

Plese boost for reach: Why have a single person, or even a team, working on accessibility? In an organization, in a company, in a dev team, in any collective that works on software, media, books, art... Everyone should be focused on accessibility in anything they create for others. If you are, then everyone else has a better time! Maybe someone wants to read a picture, or hear a book, or relax their eyes while doing computer work. It helps *everyone* when everyone is included. #a11y
@nosat @downey @daveshuken @be vaccines are very good to reduce deaths and serious illness. It also reduces spread and lowers the potential R value. If the aim is to stop spread at a conference then mask requirements, hygiene, and distance is best.
In WA we locked our borders so we could live our normal lives. When most people where triple vaxed we opened up and the spread happened but we had low deaths and hospitalisations. Totally worth it!

Please boost for reach. So, anyone that is working on FOSS projects like web apps, sites, Linux apps, desktop environments, or other user interfaces, please let me know if you want them tested for accessibility. I can do both CLI, web, and GUI testing, and app testing on Android. I'm running Debian (on a ChromeBook but that's not too important), so just give me the name of the package, or the URL of the site or app. I can also do Flatpak!
Awful

@dean Wow. Yeah the Github issues should speak louder than the accessibility statement.
@devinprater WHAT! My company just put that into our code. We just want a searchable dropdown list for 1000 items. It is okay for mouse use (not best) and from their website . "Accessibility is important. React-select is committed to providing a custom experience to all users and relies heavily on the aria-live spec to provide a custom experience for all users."
