Yet another #recall

“Publix, one of the nation’s largest supermarket chains, has voluntarily recalled pouches of baby food sold in its stores after routine testing found it may be contaminated with lead, according to the company.”

House Republicans began to mark up their monstrous spending bill this week, and it is not going well...at all. As disability advocates protesting Medicaid cuts shut down one House committee hearing, MAGA Republicans demanding even steeper cuts stormed out of another, imperiling Trump's big, not-so-beautiful bill. Take a look at more of this week's bright spots: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

Good News For Progressive Views The Week Of 5/9-5/15

The Republican House unveiled their devastating cuts to Medicaid this week, and it’s going about as well as you’d expect.

🦀 Flattening #Rust's Learning Curve | corrode

｢ Your learning pace doesn’t have much to do with whether you’re smart or not or if you have a lot of programming experience. Instead, what matters more is your attitude toward the language.

I have seen junior devs excel at Rust with no prior training and senior engineers struggle for weeks/months or even give up entirely. Leave your hubris at home ｣

The Spanish words 'año' ('year') and 'España' ('Spain') contain the letter ñ, which is called eñe.

It comes from a double nn. One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ.

For instance, 'año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn.

However, 'puño', 'España' and 'viña' come from 'pūgnum', 'Hispāniam' and 'vīneam', which didn't have nn.

My graphic explains how they got their ñ:

Auf Wunsch habe ich einen neuen Artikel geschrieben – diesmal über #Publii

Ein CMS, das ganz ohne Datenbank, Tracking oder komplizierte Serverlogik auskommt.

Ich hab mich dabei besonders auf den Sicherheitsaspekt konzentriert:
Warum Publii viele typische Risiken gar nicht erst hat – und was es besser macht als klassische Systeme wie WordPress & Co.

Vielen Dank für den ausführlichen Bericht!
Ich bin damit bisher auch sehr zufrieden.
Dein Schwerpunkt liegt auf Sicherheit.

Mir ist auch wichtig, wie es mit der #Barrierefreiheit aussieht.

Zumindest das web #accessibility evaluation tool bewertet meine Seite ganz gut und das sollte grundsätzlich auf alle Publii-Seiten zutreffen, wenn man an die Alt-Texte denkt:

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the home annual license for JAWS is no longer listed on Freedom Scientific's shop page. It is still being offered; see this link.
store.freedomscientific.com/pr…
However, it is not listed on their shop page. Instead, they list a JAWS home subscription, which starts at $623.00
No bashing, please. I'm asking about this in order to gather factual information and not to trash the company or the product. In fact, I'll likely block anyone who does so responding to my question.

I heard directly from FS today and they did confirm that the price of the Home Annual license is no longer on the site, but did not give a reason why. The $623 mentioned on the site is a new 3 year deal they are offering for new perpetual license. Basically speaking, It is a way of purchasing Jaws with a SMA over a 3 year period. So if you are new to Jaws, you can pay $623 for 3 years and in the end, you will own Jaws along with a SMA. I read over that page several times, and I did not get that from it at all. They definitely should explain that better on the site. The gentleman from FS said if you are interested in an Annual License, then you need to call customer service for help. Makes you wonder why it was removed from the site.

Thanks @masonasons for the tip that yt-dlp can download from RSS feeds. Here's the command I came up with to download all available podcast items from a feed in chronological order (oldest first) to nicely numbered files with the title and date.

yt-dlp --no-abort-on-error --color "no_color" --download-archive ".download_history" --windows-filenames --embed-metadata --embed-chapters --playlist-items "::-1" --output "%(n_entries+1-playlist_index)02d %(title)s (%(upload_date>%B %d %Y)s).%(ext)s" --format bestaudio "example.com/rss"
