Replying to @impulsater @firefox
I switched to the Developer Edition a few weeks ago and haven't yet found a thing which it doesn't have that Chrome has. I thought it'd way harder to switch.

If you care about the internet as we knew it, try to use @firefox at the start of every day.
A switch has silently been flipped in millions of instances of Google Chrome: those browsers will begin sorting their users into groups based on behavior, then sharing group labels with third-party trackers and advertisers around the web. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/go…

Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard. 🧵

My plea to decision-makers in institutions everywhere: Please, *please* stop publishing potentially important reports only as PDFs. If someone who could only afford to access the internet on a phone asked why you chose to make it so hard for them - what would your answer be?

Wikidata is one of the best options for an open, common knowledge graph of background information for use in an application or AI system. SPARQL is the most common way to access the data and here's one resource to get help in learning how to use it effectively. #knowledgeGraph
#WikidataTips Did you know that there are editors happy to help you write a SPARQL query if you need it? You can find these lovely people here: wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:R…

I think it's really important to include situational disability (ie. holding a baby) & temporary disability (ie. broken arm) when it comes to a11y conversations. This normalizes accessibility needs to cover a larger swathe of your user base, helping prioritize it on your team.

I've thought about this a lot and anyone who wants to obfuscate URLs can go fuck themselves. It's not okay.
