@kimdanes @starbreaker firefox's reader view has a screen reader that uses your system text-to-speech (which would be orca afaict? it works automagicaly on my ubuntu box). The interface is pretty simple. Reader view only works for articles and blogposts and such though, plain refuses to open for a page that doesn't look like a single, giant block of text.

We don't need another scientific study to boost acceptance of transgender people. We need transgender people to start being accepted in workplaces, in religions, and in families:

@kimdanes fwiw I never even got around to watching End of Evangelion because I needed a break after finishing Evangelion and that break's been lasting about a year now and still going strong.
So, uh, godspeed you, may you brave the anime I never dared to face and emerge victoriously
(or don't do that, that's cool too, selfcare and stuff)
If anyone got any good resources on how to organise a hackerspace that would be cool
I should be studying for my finals rn but in a turn of events I'm in a brainstorm about organising a local hackerspace and also contemplating whether I should try out warframe again since apparently my 5 year old account still works and unlike 5 years ago I now have hardware that should run it decently

This would break the internet.
Imagine YouTube Content ID, but for everything: blog comments, tweets, Github commits, Instagram photos, replies to newspaper articles, rental listings, dating profiles.
This is being proposed in the EU. #Article13

The EU is about to update #Article13 to force sites to use YouTube-style content filters on all uploads.
This is a terrible idea:

Some MEPS are already fighting back:

but they need as many allies as possible:
Please email/call your MEP as soon as you can (as in today!), tell them that these changes are dangerous to European freedom, business and culture.
List of MEPs & contacts:
mapgies are really neat birbs I wish I could pet them

On June 20, an EU committee will vote on an internet-destroying copyright proposal that'll censor everything from Tinder profiles to Wikipedia: https://boingboing.net/2018/06/07/thanks-axel-voss.html
Folks in the EU: European Parliament Members need to hear from you! https://changecopyright.org

@garbados we hope you enjoy your experience working as a developer for the glow cloud 👁️
@kimdanes quick fun fact, besides windows NT you also have windows CE and windows ME, or windows CEMENT for short.
@kimdanes they called it that because it sounds better than NW95FS (Not Windows 95 Filesystem).
The entire OS is called NT, btw
