Monitoring for 4xx can be indicative of a bad deployment, like a form not sending the right information anymore or dead links. Can be quite handy to get paged for client errors to proactively fix these issues.

Too many projects working on fixing (merging PRs and building patched images) the latest PHP incident? Causing a DoS on Github would be a quite "funny" side-effect of this whole thing.

Doubt so, none of the links is working on the site. It doesn't inspire trust, wouldn't spend money, yet even create an account, on a site that has no privacy policy or terms of use.

There are plenty of friends of that one famous financier roaming the old continent, who probably won't ever see a courtroom or prison cell in their lifetime, despite a lot of incriminating evidence.

The same governments pushing for this type of regulation are also the ones that fail to condemn high profile individuals involved in the crimes that these regulation are supposed to help fight. Makes you really wonder if it's about protecting the children.

It's possible to do it in 2 ;-)

Sadly accessibility often lands at the bottom of priorities because developers mostly don't care. Yet, it's relatively straight forward to implement in most modern systems if you start building it with that in mind. Similarly, adding i18n to an application as an afterthought requires more effort than if you would have done it from the start.

Accessibility doesn't only mean easing access to your application to people with disabilities. Accessibility makes it also easier for people with temporary or situational impairment to use your software. A simple example that comes to mind is single finger zooming on map applications, where you tap once and then hold-swipe up/down to zoom in/out, which makes it easy to be used with one hand. I know it's difficult to relate to people with permanent disabilities, but we can definitely relate to situational ones where we wish something was easier to use with one hand because the other was busy. Now imagine if it's the only way you can ever use it :-)

Ultimately, it leaves out no one and benefits everyone.

Looks really smooth! Would love to see that write up, or even the source if you would be willing to share it.

When I set up my iPhone and it asked who's iPhone it is, I thought it would be funny to put in Kim Jong Un. Now it shows up as "Kim Jong Un's iPhone" when I enable my hotspot. Or even better, it says it out loud when I connect to some Bluetooth speakers.
