None of the age verification options are perfect in terms of protecting information, providing access to everyone, and safely handling sensitive data.
That’s just some of the reasons that EFF is against age-gating mandates,
-- and is working to stop and overturn them across the United States and around the world.

So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?
This blog also appears in our Age Verification Resource Hub: our one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what age-gating laws actually do, what’s at stake, how to protect yourself, and why EFF opposes all forms of age verification mandates. Head to EFF.org/Age to explore our resources and...

Just about to publish, Chrome updated, I re-tested, and my results for dynamic descriptions went sideways. So, I dunno, QA that for me?
Won’t it feel good to correct me? You know…

This post does not discuss whether live regions are good, nor is it a post about the best way to use them. This post only covers how they are exposed to the audience who experiences them — screen reader users. Written by a non-screen-reader user. If you’re here because your…

I'm a little behind with posting my recent photos. but here you see one of my favourite lokal "afternoon hills".
This is one of the RARE hills, where I often walk without camera. But that day the clouds were so low that I just brought it - hoping for some exceptional shots... Exceptional for the location - not wordlwide exceptional ;-)
Enjoy!

A serene winter landscape unfolds in this tranquil scene, where a light dusting of snow blankets the ground, creating a peaceful and almost magical atmosphere. A winding path, partially covered in snow, leads the eye through the image, inviting exploration. The path is bordered by tall, dark evergreens and bare deciduous trees, their branches reaching upward into the misty, overcast sky. The trees on the left side of the path are lush and dense, their dark silhouettes contrasting sharply with …

Mind the gap: Revealing sidewalk networks at scale
pdf: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.
Nice to see important research on the both most important and neglected mode of transport 🚶

Figure 2. Schematic pipeline of the network construction process. The deep learning stage (a-c) begins with (a) tiling high-resolution aerial imagery (5000 × 5000 pixels) into smaller patches (512 × 512 pixels), which are fed to (b) a segmentation model (DeepLabV3). This model generates (c) binary output masks identifying sidewalk pixels. The masks are then reassembled to reconstruct the full segmented tile. In the network construction stage (d-f) the merged predictions undergo a (d) binary clo…

This are everyday heroes, risking their lives for justice. Sadly, having found a life-sacrificing way to advance their fight. As a society we have a moral obligation to make their goals attainable without resorting to suicide.

Clearly, Pam Bondi's performance was strategic.
It was part of her goal of deflecting attention away from Trump and the fact that his name appears more than a million times in files related to Jeffrey Epstein that were released by the Department of Justice, according to Raskin.
She beclowned herself and perhaps it worked.
Most headlines were a variation of the Daily News’: “Bondi shouts down Democrats in hearing on Epstein files release delays.” 
At one point, t…

Pam Bondi is daring the Democrats to impeach her
The reasons for her contempt are secondary to the contempt itself.

A winter scene. In the foreground is a white, wooden fence dotted with snow. Behind it, the frame is dominated by a tree, naked branches reaching towards the sky. In the background is a golden glow in the sky, signifying the arrival of the sun. Above that, the few clouds are lit in shades of pink and purple.

All sides in this war are using fossil fuels as a weapon of war,”

“Fossil Fuels as a Weapon of War”: U.S.-Israeli War on Iran Exposes World’s Dangerous Reliance on Oil
Oil prices surged past $100 a barrel this week as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran threatens global energy supplies and the broader economy. Iranian officials say no oil will be allowed to leave the Middle East until the bombardment stops, raising fears of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which about 20% of the world’s oil and gas flows. This comes as Israel has struck oil depots in Tehran, blanketing the capital in smoke and toxic rain. “What we’re seeing is jus…
