Facebook is in its 'fuck around find out' era. A colossal, decaying platform emboldened by Musk telling advertisers to go fuck themselves. Experts it used to consult with on hard issues say they haven't heard from the company in years

Well, I did something.
Written some ramblings about #scala and the syntax/way to write typeclasses.
Just the start. Basically notes to myself, but maybe useful for others eventually.
I should turn this into some blog post or put it into a personal wiki or wtv. But ain't nobody got time for that.
So just a bunch of code, hosted in codeberg (gotta start using it more), with a bunch of comments intended to be read from top to bottom.

It is written in #Rust, but a C binding would be very easy to write.
I am really thinking if it could maybe at some point be used as the GIR parser for #Vala
Overall it looks very complete and straight forward, also it will be used in the Rust bindings generator, so it will probably be quite stable.
@sonny @flyingpimonster GIR would be indeed nice, probably needs a bit of extra code to do some type registrations, but other than that, it shouldn't be a problem.
the GIR parser has a GIR API :)

The state of Unix/Linux accessibility is even worse then I feared 🙈 . Fedora has been shipping with a broken screen reader for NINE YEARS?
Orca doesn't work on any distribution that ships with Wayland by default? 😭 (thanks @aral for bringing it my attention)
Do all the distributions and such know that next year they should be accessible?
I can't code and I am not familiar with testing desktop apps, but I would really like to know how I can help to fix this.
(allthough it shows a bigger problem in open source and it's culture)

Fedora has an ableism problem but woe to you if you point it out.Aral Balkan
I am really dissappointed.
if you work in software or on a operating system: if you don't care or don't do anything on accessiiblity, you are ableist. Do better, open source.
@fireborn I agree it is disappointing, but the problem space is so big and complex, I find it hard to fault individuals spending their free time in focussing/contributing to things they can actually control and/or achieve.
If anything, focus scorn not on 'the community', but on companies' c-suite who make money off of FOSS and not caring enough to specifically invest back in inclusivity and thus enabling/empowering those developers who do care.

Woman allegedly tried to drown Palestinian-American girl, aged 3
The US’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization is calling for #hate #crime charges to be filed against a Texas woman accused of 🔸trying to drown a three-year-old Palestinian-American girl 🔸while saying that the child’s mother wasn’t really American.
For now, the suspect in the case has been booked on counts of attempted murder and injury to a child.
The case dates back to 19 May, when police in Euless, Texas,
were called to an apartment complex swimming pool where there had been reports of a disturbance between two women, according to the local NBC affiliate.
Witnesses told police “a woman who was very intoxicated had tried to drown a child and argued with the child’s mother”, said a police news release reviewed by CNN.
The child’s mother told police that the alleged attacker
– since identified as 42-year-old Elizabeth Wolf
– questioned where she was from and whether the two children playing in the pool were hers, police said.
Wolf also made statements about the mother not being an American, police added.
In a news release on Friday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) said the child’s mother wore a hijab and modest swimwear,
and she was watching her children play in the shallow end of the pool when Wolf approached her.
“The alleged attacker reportedly approached the mother with racist interrogations then
jumped into the swimming pool and
grabbed the children to the deep end of the pool to allegedly drown them,”
the statement said, adding that the mother’s six-year-old son was able to escape but her three-year-old daughter was unable to do the same.
“The alleged attacker snatched off the mother’s head scarf and used it to beat the mother as well as kicking her
to keep her away while forcing her daughter’s head underwater,”

Vor 2 Wochen habe ich mir neue Kopfhörer gekauft. Modulare Over-Ear Kopfhörer von Repeat. Das Versprechen dieses jungen niederländischen Start-Up ist, dass man hier seine letzten Kopfhörer erwirbt. Durch die modulare Bauweise lassen sich einzelne kaputte Module einfach austauschen, ohne gleich die ganzen Kopfhörer wechseln zu müssen. Für einen Aufpreis kann man zu den Kopfhörern die lebenslange Reperatur dazu kaufen. So geht nachhaltiges Design.
Das wichtigste aber, der Klang begeistert.
Ich kenne mich mit sowas absolut nicht aus, habe mich über die Symbole auf der Seite gewundert und hatte eine Theorie die eine kleine Recherche bestätigte:
Auf der Seite sind Überwegsymbole nach DIN 32981 verbaut (es ist ein crossguide EK533 von Langmatz).
Faszinierend!

Finally, lets talk about Apple's factory exhaust into the ambient air next to thousands of homes and two public parks.
Much of Apple's solvent exhaust was vented out "as is" (unabated) from the main system.
The illegal solvent treatment tank exhaust did go through the untested carbon boxes, but then it was released out of a tiny vent pointed *down* at the building. Any gases heavier then air would be directed to the ground level to pool into toxic vapor plumes.
There were no permits.
My civil lawsuit against Apple includes 2 toxic tort claims for what theyre doing at this factory. I alleged Nuisance + Ultrahazardous Activities. The US Judge is letting me proceed with both claims.
casetext.com/case/gjovik-v-app…
Apple can keep flailing around, but we're in US court now & they will be forced to face the music. I'm also waiting to hear from US Dept of Labor Judge if I can add RCRA, Clean Air Act, & TSCA retaliation claims.
Finally, its also possible DOJ could pursue criminal charges.
