"I feel terrified" - Inventor of "Glock switch" (auto-sear) technology, a $20 device that enables machine gun-style fully automatic rapid fire, says he regrets creation.

Meanwhile, 31 states exempt private gun sales from background checks.

Really just stinks that someone who has done so much great journalism over a long career - including journalism that I grew up reading and enjoying - is running cover for a hack and propagandist who does not give a whit about journalism or its values.

Dans mon collège, campagne sur octobre rose. Cette image m'agace : et si on parlait des femmes et pas des hommes, quand on parle d'un cancer qui les touche presque exclusivement (je sais, il peut toucher les hommes... 1% des cas...). Et ce possessif qui occupe toute la place...

Affiche d'octobre rose montrant un homme, avec à sa gauche des mots barrés (ma sœur, ma tante, ma fille...), et à sa droite Ma femme, non barré.

Exactly.

Thanks to this person for adding alt-text.

Archangel Beth @archangelbeth.bsky.social · 13h

Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.

Thank you.

Six panel, cartoon-style graphic titled, why use alt-text?
First panel: slow internet. Next to a line drawing of a phone showing a social media post with an image, where the alt-text is visible while the image is unavailable. Text reads: Alt-text is shown in place of unloaded images.
Second panel: Findability. A line drawing of the top of a phone, showing the search bar, reading "dog with banana". The text above it reads: Alt-text helps to search content.
Third panel: screen readers. In lieu of the image, a blank square with alt-text shows up; the text above the box reads: Alt- is read out to people using text-to-speech software.
Fourth panel: translation. There's a line drawing of a phone, showing the Google translate box, reading "English to Deutsch". The text above reads: Alt-text can be translated.
Fifth panel: readability. There's a line drawing showing very poor writing inside a dialogue bubble; next to it the clarifying text "a character says 'hello, guys'" The text above the drawing reads, Text in images can be made legible.
Sixth panel: disambiguation. The line drawing of the phone again, showing part of an image that, depending on how you look at it, seems to be either a bunny or a duck. The clarifying text reads, "my pet bunny".

An infographic titled “Writing Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Source: veroniiiica.com Credit: Puzzle
