accessibleAI hat Websites ausgewertet und einen Index zur Barrierefreiheit gebaut. Klingt nach einer guten Sache, zumal der Index aufgezeigt hat, dass sich die wenigsten um Barrierefreiheit scheren. Man kann natürlich glauben, dass Besserung der Welt das Ziel sei, aber accessibleAI verkauft eine Dienstleistung, die Angst vorm BFSG benötigt. Und wenn sie jetzt auch noch unverlangt E-Mails verschicken, ist ein Hebel da, sich zu wehren
If you're in favour of ditching digital services/platforms run by US billionaires, there is a Westminster debate this afternoon on #DigitalSovereignty. It is broadcast live online, and that debate is third of three debates starting at 14:30. Hard to say exactly when it will start, so check back a few times over the next hour or so:
After a volatile morning, European stock markets are still in the red – but off their earlier lows – after steep losses in Asia-Pacific markets overnight.
The oil price is still trading over the $100 mark, on track for its highest close since 2022.

UK’s FTSE 100 share index: down 112 points or -1.1% at 10,172 points

Quite happy with how the page/component lifecycle log messages are coming along as part of my push to get the new stateful components over the line in Kitten¹.
This should make it very easy to ensure that things are happening as you think they are and to conceptualise the behaviour of your stateful component hierarchies. (You can also use stateless components, of course, as is the currently documented workflow.)

More civilians (over 50 million) died from the flu than from both World Wars and the Holocaust combined. Another 500 million civilians were incapacitated by the flu."
