Has Star Trek ever been where no one has gone before? Aren't there mostly aliens there?

I'm not sure about projects that tell you how many people have different disabilities. Feels like that feeds into capitalist metric tendencies - focus on the biggest groups, some sort of hierarchy. We should be designing and building inclusively full stop

Anyone had much experience with Lemmy or other Reddit replacements? #redditBlackout

Incredible how hard the #redditBlackout is hitting Google. What do they have left? Quora?

all power to the #redditBlackout. People who build these empires on work provided by others need to wake up

I like some of Android's animations but they overdo it so badly my only option is to turn them all off

I’ve been enjoying the podcast If Books Could Kill. The presenters tear apart some really popular (rubbish) non-fiction books (e.g. Men Are From Mars…, Freakonomics) and it’s amazing. https://pca.st/podcast/c1f1e8b0-3c87-013b-efca-0acc26574db2

When there's heads of digital, tech, data, but no heads of design, research, accessibility, inclusion, equity, ethics...

The cost of living crisis is such a misleading name. It's a greed crisis. Companies and CEOs making record profits

Do you make sure your #Git commit history is nice and neat, squashing commits, good messages and so on?

once again, a status page that does not report an error is completely useless. On #Heroku right now I can't:

• deploy from github
• sign in on the command line
• access support(!)
  and their status page is all green. Useless
