    It is #DisabilityPrideMonth! I used this occasion to write a bit about accessibility in GNOME, ableism, and share some ideas about what we can use this pride month for. I&#39;m looking forward to learning about the perspectives of other disabled people #AccessibilityInFreeSoftware https://blogs.gnome.org/sophieh/2026/07/07/accessibility-in-gnome/

    Stock buybacks are just dividends in disguise and hence a tax evasion scheme. Sure, you would have to pay taxes when selling the stock eventually. But the ultra-rich are just not selling and instead use stocks as collateral for massive loans. We have to tax wealth. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/nvidia-approves-50-billion-stock-buyback-time-buy

    It&amp;#39;s not only Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ but also World Backup Day! Therefore, Pika Backup 0.8 is available as of today.

    So, condemning everyone who uses AI is the new purity test for some bubbles now. And it this binary approach makes me sad and scared. I have seen so many of these rules to define in-groups. You are eating animal products? How can you, killing the climate. You are not using the exact expected set of content warnings? How can you be so ignorant. You are shaving your legs as a woman? How antifeminist of you. You are using a car? How can you justify all the bad impact of this.
