I’m a challenge for the simple mind to try to make sense of,with labels, prejudice, & stereotypes.

If you've ever posted your wallet address, or anything that might indicate you have a significant amount of cryptocurrency, I recommend going back and deleting it. Even if you're not a public figure, it's not difficult to find someone's home address. These kinds of attacks are becoming more common.

Due to the current chaos in the US I’m no longer able to present at @rightscon.org and I strongly encourage YOU ALL to attend—remote is an option.
🔇 Will you be Rightscon in Taipei? If so, say hi, I'll be attending the conference in person for the first time & will be participating in these 2 sessions 👇🏼

All of them have to do with tech facilitated genocide. Such is the time we're in.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."

Folks: I understand your fear and exasperation and why so many of you are demanding that Democrats "DO SOMETHING" to stop Trump. I want you to know this Democrat is doing everything he can of to meet this moment and make a difference. If you have better ideas, I'm all ears.

Any economics folks?

We have to set minimum wage regulations because some employers will take advantage of workers.

Why don’t we regulate minimum/maximum profits?

We're entering a dark period in US #accessibility.

The White House home page has a bunch of links with "aria-hidden" and "tabindex=-1".

This hides the links from assistive tech like screen readers & makes them unreachable with just a keyboard.

Critical #WCAG compliance errors! But who can sue?

Native *can* be faster than the web - but not by default.

The web can render a LOT of content and scroll through it effortlessly. By default. Native apps? Not so much.
