@jookia @devinprater GitHub is not FOSS so is gitlab better?
@devinprater Introducing FossAbility! This project seeks to gather a community who can work together to make accessibility central to free open source software! #a11y #foss https://sr.ht/~devinprater/fossability/
@marauder @chaosexanima but I do agree with everything you want, we just need to understand what fedi is and not is, and sadly it is not any more private then Twitter.
@marauder @chaosexanima fedi is not private and if you are not already being mined then no one thought of us as valuable ... yet.
Log out and go to your profile page EVERYTHING is public like a normal website.

"Enough is enough. I can't see what is served by keeping Julian Assange incarcerated"

@maia make sure it's a multinational corporation so you don't pay tax and located in a country without extradition to your target countries.
Imagine #libraries don't exist, but there's this person who thought of them and is trying to convince everyone else about them.
-Borrow books for free? People are going to steal them!
-You can just come in to use a computer? Well that's just going to be abused by freeloaders.
-Staff? Who is going to pay them? Why should my taxes be wasted subsidising access to books for people who haven't saved and bought their own?
How many amazing things do we dismiss? What is our society missing out on?
@weirdwriter@writeout.ink yeah, some cases would be, kill the author so you can use their works, or like the author of Wheel of Time, he didn't finish the series before he passed and now Amazon is making a TV series based off it.
The authors family could inherent money or businesses but not their creative works.
@georift if it's for a chain and it's their own website and I think it's okay. Just as @barefootstache said for sites you don't know, add a note like fix me please physically check.
@georift how is copying the business details off the menu or window different to a website?
Please boost for visibility: Global Accessibility Awareness day (#GAAD) is on May 19th. I’d like everyone that can to turn off your monitor, or close the laptop lid and connect a keyboard, or close your eyes, and turn on your OS screen reader, and use your computer with it. How does it make you feel? Do you know enough keyboard commands? Does it give you enough info? Does it make you enjoy using the computer? Do you feel productive? Why or why not? #a11y #screenreader #blind
I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
