It occurred to me that maybe the Apple Intelligence AI could be useful for this one thing. Turns out no, it's not. Deactivated it again.

The latest build of Firefox Nightly just prompted me with this window I don't think I've seen before.

Bonus tip: if you’re leaking an image with faces in it, Signal’s camera has a convenient feature to blur them.

I love this live interpretation audio feature that @mayfirst is using in their membership meeting. They have English and Spanish speakers on the virtual panel as well as live translators. This slider lets you change who you hear, depending on what language you understand. It works really well!

“On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake's order to vacate a row of 4 seats in the ‘colored’ section in favor of a white female passenger who had complained to the driver, once the ‘white’ section was filled.”

I contributed a small safety feature to an article @apodaca just published.

“Press the ESC key three times to instantly leave the page.”

It's inspired by a similar mechanism on thetrevorproject.org.
