Accessibility, The Origin of Innovation: In this article, I will discuss the details of 10 innovations throughout history that were only possible through unlocking the power of accessibility and including the voices of people with disabilities. In the #disability community, it is a deeply believed and often repeated fact that improving #accessibility leads to innovations that improve the world for everyone. Necessity is the mother of invention is, after all, a proverb so frequently quoted that it has become a cliché. And yet, people with disabilities still find ourselves left out of research and design, and all too often we don’t get a seat at the product development table. This leaves our inventions overlooked, unrecognized, and sometimes unrealized. stuff.interfree.ca/2025/12/16/origins-of-accessibility.html#a11y#InclusiveDesign#pwd#blind
you may find this article from Bobbie Hickey in the Irish Times this week of interest. Touches on some of the same points. irishtimes.com/health/your-wel…
@DavidRedmond thanks! There are some more offline examples in this article that I didn’t include because I was focused on the story of digital. I’m glad more blind folks are writing similar articles.

The UN has reported that Israel has rejected more than 130 aid cargo entry requests in October alone. The majority of these rejections affect small organisations that distribute aid.
This follows a pattern. Israeli occupation authorities reject life-saving commodities, such as food, shelter, health and building supplies. They also reject equipment required to deliver vital services at scale.
L’ONU a rapporté qu’Israël avait rejeté plus de 130 demandes d’entrée de marchandises humanitaires rien qu’en octobre. La majorité de ces refus concernent de petites organisations qui distribuent de l’aide.
Cela suit un modèle. Les autorités d’occupation israéliennes rejettent les produits vitaux, comme la nourriture, les abris, les soins de santé et les matériaux de construction. Ils rejettent également les équipements nécessaires pour fournir des services vitaux à grande échelle.

Today, I am going to be removing a favorite user feature: picking your own font for the Xogot text editor and La Terminal as now you need Apple's approval to use third party fonts installed in the system.
But at least my users will be safe from picking a font in bad taste.
The AppStore validation seems to trip if you have the original (and self-service) entitlement com.apple.developer.user-fonts - now you need to request the Font Enumeration or Xcode Cloud aborts. Have not bothered to build locally and upload a build to see if it passes mustard.
"No one who knew that the flag consisted of a bit of black stuff on the end of a broomstick would believe it. I wished to show that the laborers were dying of hunger and in need of work. It is the flag of strikes and famines."

O pasado domingo volvimos ás rúas de Compostela para berrar, unha vez máis, Altri NON! Máis de 80.000 persoas reclamamos á Xunta que, dunha vez por todas, denegue os permisos para a súa implantación. O pobo galego falou, de novo, alto e claro.

but the German government is right on this. #AI is a con for extracting trade secrets.
that’s why the chatbots aren’t meant to challenge users. they’re honeypots at massive scale, sucking in all information about the people using it to make money. the intention has always been, so that the owners of the AI ―the capitalists― can use that information against the users.
anybody using AI for their business should lose all rights to secrecy under patent and trade laws.
This is an absolutely wild story:
- a German inventor, unrelated to the defence industry, registers a patent
- the German military immediately classifies its contents as security related, including potentially endangering NATO’s nuclear deterrence…

Multiple news outlets report that the US unemployment rate has now hit 4.6%, a four-year high. There has been no growth in jobs since Donald #Trump proclaimed "Liberation Day." So much for Donald Trump bringing jobs back to the US. Promises made, promises broken.
In the case of Los Angeles, people seeking food stamps were granted more autonomy over the scheduling of their interview through access to a new caseworker hotline. As a result of this procedural intervention, applicants were more likely to enroll successfully in the SNAP program.
