Just to give everyone an update. They looked at the X-rays done on me this afternoon right away, and they saw the exact kidney stone that was giving me trouble. It was right where I said it was. Holy cuckoo clocks these things cause pain. But I think it's finally coming out. Kidney stones. I feel like some eged person discussing health issues.

Good one. No, honestly, it was not meant as a pun. I wouldn't joke about someone else's suffering; if the one doing the suffering wants to do so that's fine but it's not something I would ever intentionally do.

@DavidGoldfield I didn't think so. But I had to be sure. And it is passing, so we won't call it suffering so much as infinitely painful inconvenience.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

I've said this before, but I think Bluesky's growth spike should motivate folks who believe in the fediverse to build the sturdiest and most intuitive and safest fedi platforms they can in the next year or two, because if Bluesky does go the way you think it will, all those people heading there now will all need good homes.

(Full disclosure, I am going to mute this thread, as my kid says, immediently.)

Request Tracker, an open-source issue tracker we use at work, has had almost completely inaccessible dropdowns ever since 5.0. In the last couple days, I've been poking around, trying to work out why. They use Bootstrap 4.6, which is way behind, and even Bootstrap 5.x seems to have accessibility problems. They take an unordered list, a text input, and a hidden input, and try to simulate a select element. You know what's fully accessible? A SELECT ELEMENT! Just use what's already there, people!

I heard back from Best Practical, makers of the Request Tracker ticket system we use at work. In 6.0, they plan to replace Bootstrap and some other libraries, which they hope will increase accessibility. They will also be adding form field labels. They claim CKEdit should already be accessible, but I thought it was notorious for not playing nicely with screen readers. All these are good fixes, but 6.0 is still a long way off.

I always think about how companies prioritize fixing accessibility problems. If no sighted user could use the dropdowns in their software, you know there'd be a hotfix out in a few days. Because the problem only impacts screen reader users, though, it can wait the months or years until 6.0 comes out. Sure makes you feel good, doesn't it?

What To Use Instead of PGP

It's been more than five years since The PGP Problem was published, and I still hear from people who believe that using PGP (whether GnuPG or another OpenPGP implementation) is a thing they should be doing.

important context for the whole "The Onion bought InfoWars" thing. unlimited respect to the Sandy Hook families
post by Prokopetz on tumblr, 1819 UK time, 2024-11-14: While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies. Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly own subsidiary of Clickhole, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen. reblog addition by xeansicemane: The families have been saying the whole time it isn't about the money - it was about stopping Jones. And this is the most effective way to stop Jones.

Been out for a walk first time by myself. It was nerve wracking but I was determined to grasp the nettle. Was so glad to have met a lady on crutches who had broken her ankle she was flying along what are the chances?! We chatted exchanged ankle break stories she gave me some good tips and she had built up to walking three times a day with longer walks she is just brilliant. I went “around the block” not too far and sat on a bench to take in the Autumn night air.
