It takes a lot to shake me but this abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Ph.D. student and Fulbright scholar at Tufts is bone-chilling.
Plainclothes, masked agents bundle her into an unmarked car.

It appears her thought crime was co-authoring op-ed in the Tufts newspaper, asking the university to take action in opposition to Israeli war crimes.

She's been whisked off from Massachusetts to Louisiana.
This is the new America.

I filed two issues today on W3C Group Draft Note “Accessibility of machine learning and generative AI.”
• Note fails to discuss sustainability aspects of using AI

• Replace ‘overlays’ as a section

Note: raw.githack.com/w3c/ai-accessi…
Issue #13 touches on this, but I think it warrants its own section in addition to ethical aspects. While the Web Sustainability Guidelines are structured as a recommendation and testing framework, ...GitHub

This months Reaper Made Easy meet-up happens this Saturday, March 29th, at the slightly irregular time of 3PM Eastern and 7PM UK.
The change in time is of course due to the very evil Daylight savings time changing on different dates in different time-zones. So this is just a heads up for those who live where the clock has not changed to summer time yet. Such as the UK.
I so wish they'd stop doing that. Aaarg.
With that frustrated growl out of the way, Saturday. Scott and JennyK will be live, helping as much as we are able for a couple of hours. It's all about using Reaper, Osara, and how we go about this accessibly. Beginner questions take priority in these streams so don't hesitate to ask.
If you have a question, chances are others have that very same question in their head as well. It's a win win win to bring it to us. We all learn together here.
All you need to know about connecting with us via TeamTalk or listen in by other means can be found on reaperteacher.com.
and do hit the upload button on that site and send us something to listen to during the stream. We try to give a bit of feedback and troubleshooting if that is something you'd like. We all learn and have a bit of a chaotic few hours of fun on these meet-ups so do join.
There will be a reminder before go-time on Saturday.
See you there.
Jen

In the last commits in gitlab.gnome.org/jrb/libipuz/-… I'm doing this hack:
- get a json-glib JsonNode from the caller
- reserialize to a string
- pass the string to Rust code
- deserialize with serde
- spit back out an IpuzStyle to the C code
And this seems to be a nice, temporary way of moving libipuz's JSON code gradually to Rust.
This is a work-in-progress effort to do the JSON processing in Rust, both deserialization and serialization. First, I'm using it as a learning exercise for serde_json,...GitLab

We had an amazing morning. Cannot wait to share this little story in detail some day. For now, here's the culmination of our joy when Tashi got to photograph the hand of Kumari :)

Questrial, designed by Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer
During colonial times, European colonial powers in Africa made their languages the official ones. Many African languages still lack typographic support, making it hard to write them correctly due to missing letters and diacritics in most fonts.
In post-colonial times and to address the lack of open source fonts for African languages, @googlefonts gave me the task of expanding Questrial for that purpose

A reminder that if you're interested in #SVG and the #WebStandards process, and specifically about trying to get SVG standardization back into gear, there is an open meeting on the topic today. It's hosted by Eric Meyer ( @Meyerweb ) of Igalia, as part of W3C Breakouts Day.
Starts in 5.5 hours. You'll need a w3.org account to sign up; meeting is via zoom with irc chat.

@federicomena @doctormo And to be clear, spec issues would still be useful despite all that because:
They provide a record for whenever someone is working on it again.
They provide evidence that there is still a demand for a better SVG spec, from devs working on all sorts of projects.
Not ideal, no, but yeah, if you have the time to at least post cross-links to your own bug tracker, it will hopefully make a difference eventually.

And yes, I have a few crawlers running here to find interesting apps to add. While IzzyOnDroid gained some popularity meanwhile, not all developers are aware of it and know they can request inclusion. Thanks to FOSS licenses giving us the 4 freedoms – and thanks to you applying such a FOSS license
Today is my birthday and the release on my album on audiotape and VHS!
"Objectivity" is an audiovisual critical study of the western industrial paradigm that sees nature as something that can be analyzed, tamed and counted.
Side A is a deep drone trip through analogous soundscapes. Side B is a versatile compilation, from a post-punk song "Predmet" to a musique concrete opus Holo Electron using a weird French machine from 1960s that is supposed to heal all your pain using electromagnetic waves. "Proctor" is a drone walk through the northern sea using analogous wooden synthesizers made by a friend of mine from Karelia. "Dissolution of Hierarchy" is a drone hymn to equity of all sounds.
The album can be purchased as a hard copy or downloaded for free or for a donation here:

Following popular request, here is a proper announcement about editing and deletion of messages available in app stores now. It briefly highlights how Delta Chat actually works contrary to how even some experts thinks it works :)
TL;DR Delta Chat is not a classic e-mail client. It uses special messages to co-ordinate encryption, metadata and group interactions and now edit/delete. Delta Chat implements a Peer-to-Peer messaging paradigm without any server state.

Namiesto toho je zaseknuté v nejakej obludnej časovej slučke, v ktorej tí istí ľudia majú stále tie isté škandály a vysvetľujú ich stále rovnako a so stále rovnakým výsledkom. Intelektuálne je to výživné asi ako nosenie dreva do lesa, aj písanie receptu na zemiakovú kašu je zaujímavejšie."
