„Ich will aber billigen Sprit!“ Einfach Benzin und Diesel billiger machen, auch wenn die Versorgungslage angespannt ist. Das da noch niemand drauf gekommen ist. www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/verbra…

Text Shot: Für Anja Genehr ist es irrelevant, wieso der Spritpreis so hoch ist. Sie fordert: "Macht den Sprit wieder so günstig, wie er vor zwei, drei Jahren war, mit 1,60 für den Super. Dann können wir alle damit leben." Erst dann kann sie wieder mit weniger Frust und Sorge zur Arbeit pendeln.

Text Shot: Was kostet der "Tankrabatt" und wer zahlt das?Die Bundesregierung erwartet, dass 2,485 Milliarden Euro weniger Steuern in die Staatskasse fließen. Diesmal sollen aber die Länder die Hälfte der Kosten tragen; dafür tritt der Bund ihnen etwas weniger Umsatzsteuereinnahmen ab. Das ist ungewöhnlich - die Länder finanzieren Entscheidungen aus dem Bund oft nur ungern mit.

Kinda glad I stopped using Flexibits products, now that they put personal data through Anthropic’s servers. (I plan to switch to Linux, so I waned myself off of 3rd party tools a lot. But this would have been a reason to cancel anyway. The email reminded me that I need to close my account.)

Dear Flexibits customer,
We are writing to let you know about the following update to our list of subprocessors we use for Flexibits services:
• We added Anthropic (San Francisco, CA)
• We added Slack Technologies (San Francisco, CA)

The thing about writing is that it is exhausting, that it takes tangents. That is how new topics form. I have a lot of half-written blog posts or stubs, or ideas, or notes. I have written articles with three topics in them and then extracted them into individual […] [Original post on yatil.social]

As somebody with ADHD and a chaotic brain, when writing blog posts or documentation, I have a tendency to go off topic or down rabbit holes. I end up on enough tangents and with enough content that the blog post feels bloated, and it’s not always clear what point I’m trying to make.

Also, this process is exhausting. What starts out as a blog post which should take a couple of hours to write can take me days or weeks to get something into a state where I’m happy with it. If you want a glimpse into the chaos of my brain, looking at my drafts folder, I currently have 34 part-written blog posts. Some have been part-written for so long that I’ll probably never publish them, because the stuff I wrote is unlikely to still be relevant or interesting.

Comment by yatil, yesterday 10:43pm – I know someone who overstepped its usefulness, and that’s you, Matt. Do you really think this is how to lead? Do you think this is how to encourage voluntary participants? Why anyone, especially my esteemed colleagues from the accessibility community is still putting time into what is an open source product by name only is beyond me. Don’t you see the impact of this program and how it helped people adopt WordPress? How many organizations could only use it because of the proven accessibility-readiness? Maybe you don’t give a shit and are tired of pretending. But boy, oh boy, I’m sure other people are also tired.

I must say it’s interesting how the WAI header icons went from W3C making the standards, WAI gives you the tools to make your stuff accessible, You create. To: W3C: Book. WAI: Unrecognizable tools. You: Screen. Not saying that the initial icons can’t be […] [Original post on yatil.social]

The icon for W3C shows a book with pages, it is quite detailed, as are W3C standards. The WAI icon shows a hammer and a wrench. You show a computer screen with a browser with a stylized HTML tag in it.

W3C now only has a book, one page black, one page white, and very abstract. For WAI the hammer has become a screwdriver, so you have a wrench and a screwdriver, which is great. No nails anymore. The wrench is also heavily obscured. And then You is just a very generic monitor icon as you would find it in any icon set.

A rocket with steam coming out of it, a map with a dashed line between two markers, cogwheels, and a little plant. The footer in grey and dark grey is very similar to the end result.
