Q: “How many devs on a message board does it take to screw in a light bulb?”

A: “Why are you trying to do that?”

If you leave description texts off of your image posts, then that is a choice that excludes obligate screenreader users. It makes things a harder for everyone else too.

It doesn't make you a bad person. Sometimes that choice is understandable: chronic illness sucks, never know what to write, language issues, spoons missing, bad brains today. All of that stuff. If that's you, stick an #Alt4Me on it or tag @imagecaptionspls and I'll try to help out if I see it OK? #accessibility

This week, LastPass, and its parent company GoTo, both published blog posts about their recent data breach: http://tcrn.ch/3ucMvBx

But if you search for GoTo's blog post in Google, you won't find it, because GoTo hid its breach notice from search engines using "noindex" code.

“Skele ton” or approximately .907 tonnes de squelletes.

Some reputable security researchers and SREs on birdsite are sharing that Hive has already had a major security breach and responded to private disclosure with public whataboutism instead of immediately patching:

Avoid, avoid avoid avoid with anything resembling sensitive data. This is about as big a red flag as they come.

Survival shouldn't be a subscription service, and living shouldn't be DLC.

Since it's now #BandcampFriday I have pushed the big "release album" button on my Novembeat collection for 2022, at https://sockpuppet.bandcamp.com/album/novembeat-2022-original-soundtrack

But if you don't have a lot of my music already, maybe consider getting my full discography! It's pretty cheap, at $45 for over 20 years' worth of music releases, and I have a lot of music in a lot of different styles. Some of it is even kinda-sorta good, I think. Or at least that's what people tell me sometimes.

Anyway XOXO happy friday
