"Seine Anwälte hätten das Video schon im Ermittlungsverfahren an die Staatsanwaltschaft schicken können, dann hätte die den Feuerwehrmann wohl nie angeklagt. Doch der wollte gerade nicht, dass dieser Fall wie so viele einfach in den Akten verschwindet. Er wollte etwas anderes: einen Freispruch. Und vor allem: 'Ein Exempel statuieren', sagt sein Anwalt..."

@Seirdy I'm not sure if it's a common ADHD thing but I tend to select and deselect text frequently while reading on websites, so sites that have pop-up UI when text is selected, or where there's a click handler somewhere in the text content hierarchy are awful for me. I've seen this a few times with sites trying to provide "helpful" tools for using the text selection. I hate it.

I’d like to request some more accessibility related feedback for my post, “Best practices for inclusive textual websites”. Specifically from neurodivergent people, especially from people with ADHD, dyscalculia, dyslexia, and sensitivity to overstimulation. What makes websites annoying to you? You don’t need to read the article to give feedback; I’m all ears.

If you do want to give it a read but find it too long, feel free to skip ahead to the “What contrast algorithms don’t cover: over-saturation” section to see what I already have on the topic: I cover the complex overlap between contrast algorithms, over-saturated colors, emergency colors (yellow, red), dark themes, halation, and over-stimulation.

A topic I hope to cover soon is reduced-motion and vestibular disorders.

Boosts welcome. #accessibility

Q: what do you call someone who is attracted to needy people?

A: someone who has a dependent type

There is one type of cybersecurity person who drives me absolutely crazy, might-just-block.gif, and it is the one who looks at any friendly and sociable internet trend that involves something that could be potentially used as a password reset question (no, I'm not talking about the fuckery like tricking people into posting their credit cards), and ruins the fun. They are the Fun Ruiner Pedant (tm).

"Don't talk about your favorite foods!"

"Don't talk about movies you like!"

"Don't talk about important moments on in your life!"

"Don't post your mom's obit, it has her maiden name!"

It's not peoples' fault that password reset methodology is fundamentally flawed, archaic, and ridiculously insecure. That's our problem to fix. And for god's sakes, everybody in infosec social spheres already knows their threat model around this information. Those are totally normal things for human beings to talk about in friendly conversation. So let's get to fixing the problems by making account security questions and processes less utterly ridiculous. It's almost 2023.

This is where I sat this morning.

NOTE: If anyone wants to be added to this list just let me know.

Ok so this seems to be most of the people who publicly stated they had interest in developing the "United Federation of Instances". All of you should have gotten the first draft and opinions were heard and discussed.

Today I will be moving the first draft over to git (either git.qoto.org or gitlab.com). From there I will encourage each of you to provide suggestions as to edits there, and raise discussions in issues. This way we will be public and have an open transparent forum that keeps the changes on record.

While public feedback is being debated on the proposal I will begin a rough draft on the complete by laws (which will try to represent the broader points in the proposal document). That too will be on gitlab and open to discussion

From there as the movement grows we can begin discussing launching it.

I suggest all communication on the fediverse about this use the #UFI hashtag so it is easily searchable.

Since this is a public post I will now share the link to the early draft here, please keep in mind everything here is open for discussion so if anyone doesnt like the current direction, please speak up, we want you to be heard.
