Petty as in 'small and does not really matter' or petty as in 'vindictive'. All administrations do many small things that may not ultimately have much impact, but often those may be for benign reasons. Understanding the reasoning behind the decisions would help in determining what kind of 'petty' this is.


Absolutely vindictive. He goes out of his way to cite "DEI" in his comments.


Both.

It's so utterly juvenile and unprofessional. The kind of thing a petulant twelve year-old does for attention.


> if a person is visually impaired, why wouldn't they have tools at their disposal to make things readable?

If it's on a screen in a browser, probably. If it's printed, or on a display not under a reader's control, probably not.

FWIW, I'm partially split. I generally prefer sans-serif overall - have for decades. I think I slightly prefer serif for some printed material visually, but... when I actually have to engage and read it, for long periods, I think I tend to opt for sans-serif. Noticed this on my kindle years ago, and kindle reader now - I usually swap to sans-serif options (I think it's been my default for a while).


But it's not a joke. We've had a decade of reports with insiders indicating he doesn't read daily briefings. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-looks-at-charts-in-int...

Can he read? No doubt he can read some. I can't say he's illiterate. But functionally, he's nowhere near the reading and comprehension skills of what we should expect from a national leader.


Can't edit but... an adult who grew up in the US their entire life who can't read out "acetaminophen" or "yosemite" is certainly under-literate.


Thought I'd missed something. Agreed.


Pipe operator is probably the biggest visible addition, but there's been quite a few bits since 8.4, with some quality of life improvements.


Dorian Gray jokes never get old...


Except for that one written on the last page of the notebook that definitely did not age well.


SE, 12 mini and 13 mini user here. Yes, I bought them.


i'm not sure i get the point here. at some point, i don't want to be carrying something by holding it in my hand. i might need to use my hand for something else. so I put the item down, or put it in a container that I bring with me (pocket, shoulder bag, etc). Are they 'admitting' that people move around with things and sometimes have more than one purpose for their hands during an outing?


I passed this on to some accessibility folks at a couple conferences in the last month - everyone was impressed :)


That's awesome, thanks!

I'd also keen to hear from people who are interested in accessibility but don't know much about it too. I've tried to explain the WCAG contrast rules in the simplest way I can (interactively, via the live mockup example on the right and contrast indicator icons that appear on the left) but there's quite a lot to cover.


My brother had an issue with Gusto, but I've not yet, after having used them for... probably at least 10 years now. Maybe longer. I was a refuge from quickbooks payroll which managed to screw up state filings such that I had 2 years of bad filings with the state where they were charging me late fees for things QP screwed up. Huge hassle, cost me days of time and a drive to the state capital to turn in paperwork in person. I swore off quickbooks payroll and have been happy with gusto ever since. But... I'm a single person who occasionally does payments to subcontractors, not dealing with payroll for dozens/hundreds.
