I'm sick of justifying ethical behavior in terms of profit. We use phrases like "adding alt-text brings more customers to your site" or "protected bike lanes increase revenue for local businesses."
You should add alt-text descriptions to images because it helps people.
We need to build bike lanes because it makes cities safer and more accessible.
Reduce carbon emissions because it's the right thing to do! Discussing these things in purely economic terms misses the point.
Its important to talk about principles but sadly many people are too deeply lost in their selfish capitalist mindset to undestand anything else, therefore a two pronged approach might be necessary!
In a public forum sometimes you need to be bi-lingual and speak both the language of compassion and the language of capitalism so that everyone gets the message.
There's nothing wrong with highlighting win-win situations because things like welfare, bike lanes, UBI reducing carbon emissions are not zero sum games
And what does Mrs. Mussolini think of her husband being executed with his mistress? WTF, NYT? She "is said to", which is to say she didn't say it to a reporter. And who cares if she did? This is not journalism. Not nearly.
Journalists: No matter who you work for, you have a new obligation: Save everything that is published under your name.
That is Step 1 of a process we all need to figure out together -- how to prevent our work from being disappeared, or having it owned by people who do not have the best interest of communities in mind.
Watching founders and investors who pay $8/month for blue checks on X complain that they can't read a deeply reported story by one of the finest tech reporters because it's behind a paywall that costs $7/month is really fucking gross, and sadly just the latest example why media is crumbling.
TIL if you have your iPhone plugged into your Mac and you do an AirDrop transfer, it can actually use the wired connection, so for iPhone 15 Pro/Max if you use a really good USB-C cable, you can transfer several gigabytes over AirDrop really quickly. Just used this to transfer some videos from the Blackmagic Cam app. WireDrop? 😅
@protonmail Nice to see this being added to web app also. However (even after reading the blog post linked at the top) I find it unclear how sending/replying from an alias works. Doesn't seem to be addressed in the blog post.
It's also not clear if emails sent to an alias address will show the original address of the sender or a modified address.
@jwz@neel@Laberpferd This "device verification" brings to mind Google's unholy vision for "Web Environment Integrity", requiring your browser to get signed tokens from third party attestation servers before viewing what you came for!
