I think you could say an animated loading UI is "essential" since it conveys to the user the program is not frozen. Maybe you could implement a "simple" loading animation if the default one is exceptionally flashy.

1st paragraph of the WCAG linked by OP:

unless the movement, blinking, or scrolling is part of an activity where it is essential;

And further down:

Note
An animation that occurs as part of a preload phase or similar situation can be considered essential if interaction cannot occur during that phase for all users and if not indicating progress could confuse users or cause them to think that content was frozen or broken.

Even further down:

A "loading" animation
A preloader animation is shown on a page which requires a certain percentage of a large file to be downloaded before playback can begin. The animation is the only content on the page and instructs the user to please wait while the video loads. Because the moving content is not presented in parallel with other content, no mechanism to pause, stop or hide it needs to be provided, even though the animation may run for more than 5 seconds for users with slower connections.

Disclaimer this was a joke I'm not a lawyer and I have no idea if this would actually work... 😆

Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.

What's happened with the Index? They're still selling it right now.

The guy in the recent case had his business paying the rent for the condo where he lived. The judgment is against the business that was paying the rent, not the guy himself. Which is why her statement is qualified with the word "individual".

Dude had the business paying his rent because “it was easier from a bookkeeping point of view”.

Just smile, look a little shy, and say thank you.

Imagine not having all your system settings in plain text files 😬

I have used Windows since I was a child and I still need "documentation" to do routine things, because they hide stuff 8 levels deep inside an obscure settings window that requires an arcane ritual to access.

Bury me in this:

That's so crazy, why come back to Canada if you know you're wanted? Did the Indian government ask nicely for him to get out, is prison in Canada just nicer than living in India?

This is like when you buy an e-book to learn how to get rich quick.

Me when my blood gets oxidized: 😔

They don't need a reason to stop you when you're driving. It's a regulated activity and you're required to be licensed. They can stop you to check your license just because they feel like it.

That's three words.
