Since the industrial revolution, industry has not been responsible for the side effects of their products. They are able to be profitable because it's future generations that will have to foot the bill for handling the waste and the side effects of that waste.

Current generations are footing the bill for some past industry behaviors, but the worst is yet to come. And we see it coming. But in the name of profits, we're doing virtually nothing about it.

All in the name of capitalism.

Do not organize conferences in Florida. After July 1, 2023, your #transgender attendees will not be legally allowed to use public restrooms.

Organizing a conference in #Florida puts all your attendees, not just your trans guests, at physical, emotional, and legal risk.

My wife's church choir has a testing requirement: all members must test before taking off their masks before church. Not all people take the test; they say they do but they don't (it's called lying, and people do it in church all the time).

Four days later, a quarter of the choir has COVID.

Fortunately, she keeps her mask with her and puts it on whenever she isn't singing. And that is why neither of us has #COVID.

Wear a #mask, people. It's literally the least and most you can do.

If anyone wants to #learn #HTML, I wrote a thing:
https://web.dev/learn/html/

I should add, if you think you really know HTML, I wrote a thing:
https://web.dev/learn/html/

Turns out there might be a lot more to HTML than you might have thought. I learned (and shared) a ton of nuggets along the way, and diligently updated MDN in the process.

Yes, the 20-part Learn HTML series has no article titled #Accessibility because accessibility isn't a separate topic.

The 20-article learn HTML is a 20-section series on learning HTML, which is accessible by default. Our job as developers is to not fuck that up! Teaching you how to not fuck up accessibility, and rather ensure accessibility, is covered in Every Single Section of the series because it is the core of HTML.

@aral 1000% agree. Same experience. I railed on AMP for years and it always fell on unwilling ears. Similarly, the initial toot only got one interaction initially, until I boosted it again and again. People don't want to hear that the companies they rely on (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc) are at this point doing more harm than good. @nice2meatu

@nice2meatu I saw @aral post on Google/Facebook commoditizing our data years ago, but don't think I saw the discussions you're referencing. Link?

Back in 2016, Google boosted "news" from AMP sites in a news carousel. Breitbart, FOX, and NYPost were AMP'ed. The BBC, WaPo, and NYTimes were not. Google search results boosted fascist sources.

AMP is gone, with the news carousel now showing what's popular on Twitter. Elon's Twitter algorithms promote fasists and ban anti-fascists reporters. Once again, Google News is boosting fascism.

Once again, no one is doing anything about this, not even acknowledging it
