  • Wednesday, 10/18/23 ** 13:26 I hope that, in addition to video, to audio, to interactivity, to computationally-and-or-presentation intensive services, that your message can be presented with text - with plain text and compressed images and little diagrams, maybe even ascii art. Internet accessibility is escaping us because the mediums are becoming more dynamic, more interactive; but video is expensive and only a few - absurdly large - companies have the ability to host and support fast video infrastructure.

Interactive websites, too, require backends, assume stable and fast internet connections, assume fast code execution speeds; the M2 Macbook that the website's developer is using will never be the 2015 iPad or 400 dollar laptop that most of the world has access to. ** 15:16 Keeping up with the news doesn't improve your ability to accomplish goals in daily life or to help the people around you. If you're in an immediate position to help, you will find out through other means; you'll learn about the news by walking outside, for example, or through your workplace. You'll be able to help within your domain of expertise.

Following current events second by second and trying to piece together social media accounts, gossip, misinformation just makes you better at the bad reporting game; it doesn't help you progress towards accomplishing the goals you have in your everyday life.
