I spoke to a doctor who switched to a new hospital which had a different patient tracking software.
The hidden scrollbars in the user interface made it so that the doctor nearly forgot to see a patient who's name was not initially viewable in the list.
Had the scrollbar been persistently visible, there would be a clear visual indicator that there were more patients to visit.
Design can be life or death, are you really going to let your hatred of affordances kill someone?

well, regardless, I wouldn't really care. If Amazon's edge can't deal with ICMP related attacks you're beyond help anyway
It isn't that Linux is "better" when I say I enjoy it. It's just that the quality of MacOS has gone so far down that the issues with Linux are no longer any worse than the issues with Mac.
Of course this doesn't apply to app availability but, for the core OSes it is very much the case these days.

Odečítání chytrého vodoměru SUEZ
Brněnské vodárny nám před časem nainstalovaly chytrý vodoměr, který každý den hlásí svůj stav, ale ten není nikde dostupný v jednoduché strojově čitelné podobě. V blogpostu jsem se rozepsal o tom, jak jsem odečítání vyřešil a integroval ho do Home Assistantu. Vzal jsem to také jako experiment, jak si s tvorbou takového projektu poradí AI.

A newsletter I'm reading is saying they want to move to the nazi bar....
Fuck this.
I actually gave feedback. With citations. And preemptively said that adding me to any substack suscriber list would be breaking the law.
Reminder that it doesn't matter which Mastodon server you join, as long as you:
Don't join one that's too big;
Don't join one that's too small;
Don't join one using server software your client doesn't support;
Don't join any of the hundreds of servers that are widely blocked by admins;
Don't want to move servers more than once in some cooldown period; and
Don't care about leaving your posts behind when you move.
Other than that, it's a completely inconsequential choice and totally like choosing an email provider.

Wow this sucks so bad.

Rather than OCRing them, they were fed to chatGPT with a system prompt that told it that it was an expert at OCR.

Sharing Insights on Accessibility: ABILITY at the European Blind Union Podcast
We are delighted to share that a member of the ABILITY project team recently took part in the European Blind Union’s podcast “EBU in Action”.
At ABILITY, we believe that the design of new assistive technologies must be guided by the real experiences, needs, and aspirations of blind and partially sighted people.
You can listen to the episode here:

Oh, yesterday, an interesting milestone set by EU Regulation 2024/886 just passed without being noticed:
> Payment Services Providers that are located in a Member State whose currency is the euro shall offer receiving instant credit transfers in euro by 9 January 2025, and the payment service of sending instant credit transfers in euro by 9 October 2025.
And on top of it:
> Any charges shall not be higher than the charges for other credit transfers.

@martenson že od včerejška všechny banky v eurozóně musí umět odesílat a přijímat okamžité platby SEPA a nesmí za to účtovat příplatky.
Banky mimo eurozónu, jako ty české, mají ještě půl roku čas. Pokud vím, tak jen Fio už má splněno (taky díky pobočce na Slovensku)

Fwiw, it’s good to warn folks like this, Tuta (i have a pinned tweet about IDN homoglyph attacks because it’s a pet peeve masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/… ) - just keep in mind hackers protecc, not always attacc.

You should know:
Vaxry once told me, in private, around a year or two ago, that I should not be writing software if my vision impairment prevents me from being unable to understand his code.
This comment was uncalled for, since my eyes were not the reason his code was hard to understand.
I didn't want to name him publicly at the time but this is a decision I honestly somewhat regret.
Absoluely no one should be deciding whether you're allowed to embark on a hobby based on having a disability (physical or otherwise).
Your ability to write software does not give you the right to dictate others' capability to write software.

@Tutanota Just a FYI, the new super low contrast appearance of the website view for email (and presumably the rest, but I only use it for email) is an accessibility issue and just plain harder to read. I have really good vision and it still is unpleasant for me. Reducing contrast to almost nonexistent levels may look better to some people, but overall just is much worse of a view. Sometimes simplest is best and email doesn't have to look fancy.
At least give us something closer to the classic color scheme to choose. Though ideally the more color options the better. (Or even add a custom theme option?)
