Love that
Y’all get a lot of good use out of Discord?
Once: apparently the number of times someone has said “I enjoy being paranoid“
I’ve grappled with “retard” & “bitch” (made a thread about it a couple months ago too, trying to form/reform my opinion).
Clearly we have to be careful with any messages industry pushes. With that said -
What do you think about these statements from Special Olympians?
Neat, trying it out really just to support since this is the exact kind of thing we need in the world
Grabbing archive from here now:
User could’ve been referring to:
Oh hi, you're awake from your coma. A lot has happened in the last 40 years. Culottes came back, but are already out of fashion again. There's more, but I'm not sure where to start.
How long do you think it would take to set up?
For all their faults, Apple knows accessibility. Good job Timmy.

As the bulbs flash, I can't help but think of cyberwar - When the arcing death of electric transformers will light the night, leaving our nation in darkness.

Horizontally stitched screenshots showing a Google Meet call on the iPhone where the microphone mute icon is highlighted in active mute status while the lock screen displays a mute icon which is not selected and inactive.
Always been this way for months. ~~IIRC, the lock screen mute button is nonfunctional.~~ Mute functionality detailed here.
Latest Versions: iOS 17.6.1, Google Meet 260.0
I should report this bug to Google and not Apple, right?

Dear [Lemmy],
As reported last month, Vice Media will no longer publish on its flagship website, Vice.com, resulting in many journalists furiously trying to save their work before the feared deletion of the entire website. Similarly, news sites like Gawker and The Messenger have faced similar fates in recent years—websites currently devoid of reporting or articles.
The loss of these websites is a reminder that access to information must remain a fundamental right for all who seek it.
Thankfully, the Wayback Machine has become a vital resource in the fight to preserve media and knowledge for all. Journalists can save links to their works on the public archive, researchers can access original pieces of reporting, and nostalgic readers can revisit old favorites. And as the fight against misinformation and disinformation continues, the preservation of access to the historical record is more important than ever.
We have always provided our resources for free, powered by donations from individuals like you. If you find these services useful, please consider donating to help us build the digital library we deserve. If you cannot contribute, we understand, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Together, we can continue to advance universal access to all knowledge

PS: I would link the email, but it has my name in it. Also, if you're a millionaire the Archive would probably appreciate like half of it, and more normal people can do five bucks a month (but I get it you might be broke!). Donation link
