  1. Now using Tuskie app with "auto-load images" turned off.

    So many posts without alt-text for the images.

    If an account is posting images sans alt-text multiple times a day then they're being #Exclusionary.

    And I'll be seeing them again in a 180 days. (180 day Muting available in Tuskie app.)

  2. While at first this seemed like a promising response and action, it soon became clear to me this movement is NOT the way to effectively challenge the patriarchy.

  3. CW: Tech musing subtoot, twist to lie

    The only way I can change even a #FOSS program to my wishes, is if I learn how to code & program first, then with that knowledge & skill base set - find a solid start of a program & go from there.

    I really do believe in the basic FOSS concept, but not all of us know how to or are ever going to learn to code & to expect we will is rather ridiculous.

    I don't expect abled programmer's to know how to & manage to walk a mile or more a day without having anything but deep pressure sensation in their feet, nor to manage gardening & animal tending tasks with that & similarly numb hands, as I do to live decently, as that'd be almost as ridiculous as those programmer's. I'm disabled so instead of that second expectation that they really endure one of my disabilities- I instead expect that eventually they'll get an open source operating system to be compatible with a rugged smartphone that doesn't have added accessibility hurdles like biometric ID scanners, is sold in my country & fits minimally in the center, but better at the lower end, of average smartphone costs.

  4. Have cancelled the arcane shebang as following the instructions, which are meant to be very beginner friendly and optimised for my new version of #LinuxMint, has input of xed admin:///etc/default/grub getting "Could not open the file admin:///etc/default/grub.
    xed cannot handle admin: locations."

    @!** I hate computing.
    This stuff is just so very unfriendly to those without the knowledge.
    #Exclusionary

    This sort of stuff if far to common across consumer computing.

  5. #US files #antitrust suit against #Apple
    "The 88-page lawsuit, filed in US federal court in Newark, New Jersey, said it was focused on “freeing #smartphone markets from Apple’s #anticompetitive and #exclusionary conduct and restoring #competitive to lower smartphone prices for #consumers, reducing fees for #developers, and preserving #innovation for the future”.. Apple has already been subject to antitrust investigations & orders in #Europe, #Japan and #Korea"

  6. So if you are a developer and you do not live in one of these countries, you cannot implement Stripe for clients? Even if the client does live in one of these countries?

  8. Top #strategic #risks to #Ireland include (11) "#SocialCohesion risks being undermined by a wide range of factors, including any decline in economic prospects, intergenerational and other inequalities, and increased prevalence of #misinformation/#disinformation and #extremist #exclusionary rhetoric" and (13) "#Integration: #SocialTensions can be exploited by extremist groups, such as through the spread of mis/disinformation, including by #malevolent actors."

  9. CW: CW: Silly rant about gatekeeping bicyclists

    I don't use a kickstand, but the amount of hate that people get over at 's /r/bicycling when people ask about kickstands is ridiculous.

  10. The suit adds to Google’s mounting #legal challenges, as the company is already fending off a separate federal antitrust lawsuit that was filed in fall 2020 during the Trump admin. That suit is scheduled to go to trial later this year & alleges that aspects of Google’s contracts w/other companies are #exclusionary & serve to reinforce Google’s #dominance at the expense of rivals. #Google also faces multiple #antitrust #lawsuits led by state attys general.
