@washingtonpost I thought a subscription came with no-strings-attached gift links (limited). I just shared an article using the gift link and the recipient said it requires creating an account. What's up with that?

Hey @netflix , I asked support about an accessibility issue & got brushed off. I trust you don't intend to block vision-impaired users & #ADA issue just hasn't risen to the right level; how can I escalate? Can't read titles, so browsing listings is hard! cellio.dreamwidth.org/212648…
I happen to know an open-source alternative that would welcome help of all sorts: more participants, platform development, community-building, publicity... I'm happy to chat more with anyone interested in helping @CodidactQA .

I've had more power outages in the last year than in the previous five put together. I'm not counting flickers, just outages of more than an hour (a couple were close to a day). @DuquesneLight what's going on? Infrastructure problems? Is this going to get less bad?

Whoa, retroactive ruling:
"[A non-disparagement] provision must not only be both “narrowly-tailored” and “justified,” but limited to statements by an employee that fit the legal definition of defamation, meaning purposefully and maliciously untrue."

I don't know about "euthanize", but I found the article interesting.
My debut at @Slate: Venture capitalists are parasites who couldn't be trusted with the financial institution that held up their industry, let alone the direction of our technological development. Euthanizing them is imperative if we want a better world.

I know capacity is limited. When a person or another shelter wants to provide a home for an animal, I expect an org with "humane rescue" in its name to help make the match, not say "too much trouble" and kill the animal. This is heartbreaking. Reconsidering my donations to HARP.

This happened a while ago but I only saw it now. Reminds me of R' Shimon ben Shetach and the gem he found in the saddlebag of a donkey his students bought for him. It was legally his, but when asked why he was returning it, said "am I a barbarian?".
Outstanding thread on the kinds of things that keep maintainers of large systems up at night:
I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

#AlleghenyCounty #PA voters: if you voted by mail, check this list of invalidated ballots: alleghenycounty.us/elections… . You can still correct it by going to the county office or by casting a provisional ballot. (But don't assume the poll workers will know how; it's complicated.)

Continuing the "what else is out there that might be useful?" thread: are any of you on Mastodon, and if so, which servers? Navigating that list is, uh, challenging; where do I already know people?

I am now @cellio@indieweb.social . Still learning my way around. Can Mastodon show me a list of all people I follow including ones from other servers? The list seems to be local-only, but looking up specific external profiles shows I'm following.

"If our rhetoric about each other, where we don't just disagree but demonize, make wild crazy allegations about them, that creates a dangerous climate. Basic civility and courtesy works. [Without it] we get distracted from what's important - squirrel!"

Agreed. My FOSS project team is small; we might not get to a bug right away, but we still care & plan to act. We HUMANS might close a bug as "won't do", w/an explanation, but I don't want a bot deciding it's too old and auto-closing for me. The bot can't evaluate content; I can.

"We are quick to assume ill will; quick to be offended & not generous enough to give benefit of doubt. If I don’t like your position, I'll berate you in public w/a tweet - easier than calling you to discuss & seek common ground, & gets more attention." themodernrabbi.com/2022/10/0…

Thread (thanks @fretmistress for pointing it out):
Off to conference with my fellow infectious diseases! (You think only humans have conferences?) Looking forward to leading sessions on “How to make humans pretend you don’t exist” and “Developing a good (immune) escape plan.” Any of my #pandemicposse gonna be there? #infectacon22
