", the U.S. telco giant said it sent out letters notifying more than 51 million people that their personal information was compromised in the data breach, including around 90,000 individuals in Maine.

I ordered a device called a BT Speak about a week ago. It is a PDA-like device, with an 8-dot Perkins style Braille keyboard and speech output for the visually impaired.
When I got the device, it did not boot, and I contacted the company about it.
I was able to get the device working again by myself rather quickly, however here in lies the reason for my post.
The company were so quick to respond that a replacement unit is already on the way.
After some discussion, what has been decided is that I will be donating the replacement device, brand new, to a visually impaired child who may not be able to procure assistive technology via other means.

I do not actually know many parents of visually impaired children in the UK. So, I would be very appreciative if one of you kind souls would point me in the right direction to find someone who could make use of it.
The device usually retails for £1400, not including VAT and import fees, all of which shall be paid for.
If you do not know anyone, then boosts for reach would also be appreciated.
Thank you all for your assistance with keeping our young visually impaired children learning Braille. #blind#fedi#mastodon#UK#disabled#donation#AT

AT&T’s botched network update caused yesterday’s major wireless outage - Enlarge / Cellular towers in Redondo Beach, California on February 22, ... - https://arstechnica.com/?p=2005545#at&toutage #policy
An AT&T service outage that impacted a huge number of its customers across the U.S. on Thursday was NOT caused by a cyberattack, the company’s initial investigation has revealed.
Instead, the cellular and internet outage was the fault of work that it was carrying out on its systems, AT&T said in a message posted on its website on Thursday evening #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#USA#AT&T

Freedom comes not from following others, doing what they do because they say to do it, constantly being fearful that we will make the "wrong decision."
Freedom arises when we question, observe, learn, try -- and through that process gain a confidence in our innate intelligence and inner voice.
For our third episode of Decentered, we talked to Ryan Barrett, the creator of Bridgy Fed! Ryan has a lot of experience in working with a variety of decentralized social web protocols, including IndieWeb, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr, and has a lot of interesting thoughts on making them talk to each other.
Ich habe es wieder gefunden*: die verfehlte #Einwanderungspolitik in #Deutschland und #Österreich fördert aktiv die Wahl der autoritären Partei #Erdogans in der #Türkei: die voll integrierten #TurkishAmericans wählten in nur mit 16%, während 63% der türkischstämmigen Mitbürger in #DE und sogar 71% in #AT#Erdogan wählten--weitaus mehr als in der Türkei selbst (52%).

People who know more about this than me - is it feasible that Masodon (ActivityPub) and BlueSky (ATP) could be made to interop so we can follow/interact with users across the networks?
On the plus side, they're both open protocols (for a given value of open), though obviously it's not a trivial thing to implement if it's even possible.
Whether or not this is desirable is a different conversation!
