Only one thing on everyone’s mind? The genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people? No? Oh, a song contest sponsored by Israel that Israel is using to whitewash its genocide. Ah, my bad, sorry.

Are you ready for the most fabulous, glitzy, glamorous #geoweirdness thread of all time? 🕺💃🎤
Here in Europe there's only one thing on everyone's mind this week: the annual Eurovision Song contest.
What about October the 7th? Yes, Netanyahu is a criminal and he uses his power and this war to avoid being put in prison, but why no one remembers about October the 7th absolutely horrific attack where this girl survived hiding under a pile of dead bodies of her neighbors?
@menelion That's not a justification for committing genocide and you know it. Two wrongs don't make a right. You should have learned that in kindergarten.
@BernieDoesIt I do know it, of course, and I started my reply with it. Everyone knows that he will be immediately in prison if he finishes this war. My point was just not to accuse this girl personally, that's it.
@menelion @BernieDoesIt Who’s accusing “this poor girl?” We’re accusing Eurovision for giving a country – Israel – a platform to whitewash itself as it commits genocide. Not surprising, of course, given that their main sponsor is an Israeli company.
Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day everyone. The third edition of Personal Power: Getting The Most from iOS as a Totally Blind User is ready for your enjoyment free to all. If you want to use an iPhone without looking at it other than to show it your face, this is how it's done. michaelfeir.blogspot.com/2025/… #GAAD
@cachondo Thanks. I appreciate your saying so. It always feeels strange since nobody in my closer circle of friends and family really benefits directly. For the most part, they have an incomplete sense of what I've done. They know I've worked hard on it and that the book really helps other people. I can usually help with any tech troubles my family and friends might experience, but that's about as far as it goes. (1/2)
My family are like that, my wife's only so involved because she's a screen reader user herself. My grandmother goes as far as saying something's "like JAWS" (which she saw me unbox in the 1990's) and that's as far as we get.

@martin hlavne tim, ze ma nemovitosti hodne a nevyuziva je zpravidla to byva pravnicka osoba, s vyznamnymi prijmy plynoucimi prave z obchodu s nemovitostmi predpokladam, ze odbornik by to dokazal definovat mnohem lepe
@martin obavam se, ze momentalne nikdo kdyby byl problem s bydlenim opravdova priorita, mohl by to mit na starost treba katastralni urad nebo socialka a mohly by tlacit na majitele, aby se nemovitosti pouzivaly (treba zvysujici se dani z nemovitosti o inflacni prirustek ceny nemovitosti) jenze nase velkomozne pany z Prahy bydleni netlaci, naopak maji vsichni hezky zainvestovano
@albi @martin Stačí oživit původní prvorepublikový zákon a trochu jej zmodernizovat. Máš volný byt? Obec má právo ti tam dát za garantované nájemné nájemníka a zároveň má povinnost ručit za škodu, kterou by ti mohl způsobit. Obec by tedy platila pronajímateli nájem odpovídjící místně příslušnému průměru, nájemníka by si kontrolovala a majitel by měl jistý příjem a garanci náhrady případných škod. A pokud to nechceš, navýšit obec daň z nemovitosti.

@archos Já v té tabulce vůbec nejsem. Taky když se dostanu do rukou novému lékaři, tak hned měří znovu, případně zkouší, jestli přístroji nedochází baterky. A já vysvětluji, že 44 je normální stav. Byl jsem na kardiologii a tam to konstatovali taky. Akorát mě štve, že hodinky při sportu pořád píší, že jsem v zóně zahřívání a jen občas se dostanu do jiné. 🙂
I love stuff like this so much because , like, to the eels these are just cozy tubes to hang out in. They know not of the context that makes these funny.
"Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents lied to federal judges about the reasons they needed warrants to enter the homes of Columbia University students and arrest them, according to attorneys investigating the matter."
According to the allegation, the warrant application was a "pretext" so they could "try to arrest two students, including one green card holder, in order to deport them."

It's almost time for Global Accessibility Awareness Day and I can finally share my thesis in an accessible format 🎉
Due to the mandatory template used, the thesis PDF is not accessible. So there was no way I was going to share it with the world. It took a year, but I managed to create a website with an #accessible #version of the 160-pages thesis on #AccessibilityOverlays, and some additional content!
This thesis, published in 2024, investigates the impact of accessibility overlays on the usability and user experience (UX) for individuals with permanent visual impairments.
Yes feed your 20 pound baby 11g of sugar per serving. Why are American children so fat? Who knows. Trust the Gerber RT: friedcheese.us/objects/9b8a3c7…
Human breast milk (HBM) is essential for the infant’s growth and development right after birth and is an irreplaceable source of nutrition for early human survival. Various infant formulas have many similarities to HBM in many components, but there .
consider that lactose is 5-6x less sweet than sugar and is digested more slowly. Our bodies react differently to different types of sugar. This is an extremely important detail that should not be overlooked
edit: also different sugars affect the dominant colony of bacteria in your gut
@Jamie Teh Damn! It sounds brilliant. I've listened to it from the begining to the end in one go right away. It's your and Michael's style and at the same time you have something unique in there. I like the song "It'll Be Alright" the most. Do I hear correctly you have some guest vocalists in this song? I find "Scourge" something you have very likelly taken off. And also "Smoke and Splinters" is very nice too. It's all great and heartening.
Thanks to both of you including your close friends and families. My all time nth degree favorite piece is "CruelToBeKind".
@pvagner Thanks Peter. Really appreciate the kind feedback. The two guest vocalists in It'll Be Alright are my two sons, first my 12 year old in the orchestral section, then my 10 year old right near the end. What do you mean when you say "you have very likely taken off" regarding Scourge? I didn't quite get it, haha. Wow, Cruel to be Kind is a blast from the past! I have a special place for that song, even if it's from a previous era. I feel like you've followed our music since the very beginning. Thank you for that. :)
@Jamie Teh Regarding sourge I wanted to say it's kind of special, mixture of genres, a bit of electronic at the start, then metal, and that unusual singing immediatelly before the last chorus. I hope you had fun while arranging that.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing! Love the melody and the chord changes all around! BTW, I think I recognized the string quartet from Native Instruments in one of the songs! :)
I am all over the place as far as NI instruments go. Love their "Session" series though. BTW, I am using Shreddage Fretless here: youtube.com/watch?v=sxgSjdoMvb…

@vick21 Oooo very nice! I do particularly love the thick, lush, layered, spacious character in this and your other work. It's a lovely immersive ear treat. :)
As much as I admire the work of the LetsEncrypt team, making a policy change that effectively raises the cost of competitive and independent agency at the behest of a browser team that's at risk of being split off from their corporate sponsors specifically because of anticompetitive behavior in the domain of that agency... this might be technically justifiable, but it's not the right decision for an organization being run for the public's benefit.
Let’s Encrypt will no longer include the “TLS Client Authentication” Extended Key Usage (EKU) in our certificates beginning in 2026. Most users who use Let’s Encrypt to secure websites won’t be affected and won’t need to take any action.

NASA engineer Ed Smylie, who helped keep the Apollo 13 astronauts alive using a combination of a spacesuit hose, sock, plastic bag, cue cards and duct tape, has died at age 95. Four hours after the explosion that tore through Apollo 13 in 1970, Smylie became concerned that the crew would suffocate due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air. He and his team of 60 came up with a plan, tested it and explained to Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert how to build it during their emergency trip back to Earth. Smylie, who died in late April, received a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service to the space program. Here's more from @Spacecom.
What is my stance on the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses? It's good, helpful, and a more affordable assistive technology device than what's currently available... but it has it's challenges... I have never thought of connecting it to WhatsApp and using ChatGPT with it! Thanks Tim Dixon for sharing lots of insights! ⬇️ timdixon.net/blog/2025/04/blin…
NASA just pulled off another miracle save: 🛰️ The spacecraft’s primary roll thrusters, offline since 2004, were believed permanently dead 🧯 With backup thrusters at risk of failure, JPL engineers gambled on a high-stakes heater reset 🔥 If wrong, it could’ve caused a small onboard explosion 📡 If right, it would restore control — 15.6 billion miles from Earth
They were right. The thrusters fired. Voyager 1 can still hold its course.
This wasn’t a reboot. It was old-school problem-solving, deep systems knowledge, and the audacity to trust an idea that might just work.
The most distant human object is still flying — because a team believed it could.

This evening I am porting my #Digalog #WatchFace to fenix 7. This is the first successful build. Btw I originally implemented this watchface for the first Pebble watch. ⌚
I thought 7€ on this kit would be a good splurge because I've been meaning to sew my own handbags and this way, I naïvely assumed, there would be a ready-made set of tools and clear instructions. but the instructions are wordless and I'm already stumped. unlike the zipper pictured mine has these little tails that make it jut out from the trim band, should I fold them? cut them out? sew them as is? am I supposed to sew the head or the tail of the zipper? does it make a difference? aah
