Why is zooming in on things on a phone so difficult? 1) Some apps let you zoom a picture a whole 5%. 2) using the text size OS settings are ignored by almost all apps, or implemented incorrectly allowing overlapping words etc. 3) zooming in on text doesn't resize the column, you have to pan L & R. 😕

finally some not shit news

NPR@npr.org

The DOJ released tens of thousands of new documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And, the Supreme Court ruled that the National Guard must stay out of Chicago. n.pr/496ztJY

So this guy is dumber than I thought, which was already very dumb. 230 gave us the Internet but keeping the government out of it. Repealing 230 would end free speech on the Internet, and likely beyond.

Senator Dick Durbin@durbin.senate.gov

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

The Internet sucks now. I feel sorry for all of you folks that never got to experience the real deal. It was about doing things differently and eventually finding a better way. Now the biggest revolutions are in ad delivery systems and ad blocker blocking.

Moving to Big cities so you can organize or ignoring the situation are not answers either.

This piece is even worse than I thought and I really wish someone smart in the disability justice world would write the takedown it deserves. It's so frustrating to see media people sharing this type of crap that just confirms a certain type of person's worldview and preconceived notions
