Some people may be unable to use a mouse, and instead rely exclusively on keyboards, or use assistive technologies such as speech recognition, head pointers, mouth sticks, or eye-gaze tracking systems. If a website is accessible only to mouse users, these people will be excluded.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library is unconstitutional.

The law is blocked for our clientsโ€™ school districts while the case continues.

sproqet by jonah-srg looping color collector

After a long jam hiatus, I am back and have submitted what is perhaps my most primitive game for this year's GMTK jam: sproqet
jonah-srg.itch.io/sproqet

I am simultaneously self-conscious and quite proud about this little thing, and I'll tell you why in a thread here.

Perhaps banning tech only exacerbates the issues. What if we tried helping students use tech responsibly throughout their daily lives? What if we taught digital wellbeing? #CSEd #Education

As lawmakers continue to ban devices & social media for students, it's important to remember that these kids are part of a different generation. Perhaps leaders also need to rethink how schools operate & teach. #CSEd #Education

The UKโ€™s Online Safety Act doesnโ€™t make kids safer onlineโ€”it just censors the internet and invades everyoneโ€™s privacy.

The cover to the book, "Writing Your Own Program: Creating A Database: Adventure Game." Each line is in its own font. The computer (a black affair with rainbow keys" depicts a scuba diver swimming, handcuffs in hand, as it is attacked by a giant cross octopus; the painted octopus is literally bursting out of the monitor. A tiny little banner in the corner states: "For Commodore 64 And Apple IIe Computers"

Reality check: you cannot call your city a sanctuary city if there is any uncertainty about where your automated lisence plate reader data is going. Thereโ€™s no room for ambiguity: local PDs cannot share digital data with ICE.

AI Could Exacerbate Inequality, Experts Warn | ACLU At the ACLUโ€™s Civil Rights in the Digital Age AI Summit, leaders convened to evaluate the civil rights landscape of artificial intelligence and tech, and how we can call for policies that center privacy, fairness, and equity.

At our first ever AI Summit, we brought together civil society, nonprofit, and industry leaders to ensure protecting civil rights and civil liberties is prioritized wherever AI is in use.

Here are our takeaways.

You know, if enough of us say on the internet that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish, eventually ChatGPT will start telling cybertruck owners that.

Big Tech split? Google to sign EUโ€™s AI guidelines despite Meta snub The code provides guidance on how to meet the requirements of the EU's landmark AI Act.

I'm actually happy to read about Google's commitment and stance on AI regulations and guidance. We need more of this to protect digital creators and citizens from unethical and biased AI tools. #AI #CSEd

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content โ€“ under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.
