Mne sa na tom celom najviac rata, ze "pro-Trump" bot vyhalucinoval ze Obama patri medzi "historickych prezidentov", pricom skutocny Trump nemoze Obamu ani citit, a ma z neho brutalny komplex menejcennosti. :)

There's at least a dozen high-profile titles I've worked on that aren't on that list but should be so who knows the real number >_>

Interesting to know that the convention of changing a woman's surname in marriage was specific to the UK. Of course I knew it was not practice here in Spain, but I thought other countries in Europe did the same as well.


By 1910, the network of interurbans in the US was so dense that a determined commuter could hop interlinked streetcars from Elkhart, Wisconsin, to Oneonta, NY—a journey of 1,100 miles—exclusively by electric railway. 🚋🧵

🐺🐺Tak povídej, jak dopadl pohovor. Tvl, ten pohovor trval 3,5hodiny. Výsledkem je, že zájem mají a dokonce jsou ochotni mi dát víc zlaťáků než mi dává můj současný otrokář. Ale POZOR oni za to chtějí abych “pracoval”😱😁. No jo, je to dneska divnej svět🤷🏼‍♂️😁. Mám z toho dobrej pocit, přesto jsem si vzal týden na rozmyšlenou ( to se tak dělá, aby věděli, že neprodávám svou kůži zadarmo😉) Děkuji Vám všem za podporu♥️. Nechci chodit do práce jen tak, že musím a tady mě to bude fakt bavit👍

Still reading your post: seirdy.one/posts/2020/11/23/we…

I'm thinking if splitting it into separate parts (~30 min) may help the readers.

Side question: do you have a view on how to write math on the web? Specifically, without JavaScript support.

From Dillo I don't think we could implement anything close to MathML any time soon, but we have some patches to support SVG equations like the ones in Wikipedia.

yeah it’s more of a short book than a blog post. use the ToC to split it up or read out of order.

How about making the Video in the Post accessible with some subtitles?


Here's my latest update on Newton, the #Wayland-native, #Flatpak-friendly #accessibility project for the modern #FreeDesktop ecosystem, developed as part of @gnome and funded by @sovtechfund. It's not ready for production yet, but this blog post includes a demo video and links to GNOME OS and Flatpak runtime builds you can try. As a bonus, because I'm integrating #AccessKit into #GTK, GTK apps will finally have #a11y on Windows and macOS. blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1…

@13hannes11 @forteller still amazing, and at that speed you can read a text? that seems much faster than how I read a text (with eyes)


oh, good, SPD is planning to expand their license plate reader program and contract out the data storage to Axon, who can be subpoena'd by states which have passed anti-trans laws.

I wonder what the actual numbers on 41 vs. 45 are, right now. Because they've already upsized to the point that the current small model (41) is almost the size of the original large model (42). And I know a lot of people with a 41. I can't imagine this would be received well. I might go for a 49, but I'm not even sure whether that would fit me as well as my 45.
