If you missed it yesterday, I wrote a little about one aspect of this week’s DNC you likely won’t hear about on CNN or MSNBC or ABC or any other mainstream news org: accessibility.
I talked to VITAC general manager Doug Karlovits all about it.

I still haven't finished watching all the BSDCan presentations, but oh my gosh, someone gave a presentation on deejayin!
"DJ-BSD: DJing and music production on FreeBSD by Charlie Li"
toobnix.org/w/p/cnQ1NJHwU9SXVW…
I have applied for @nlnet grants and more (like, commercial companies such as Native Instruments, the company behind Traktor) to work on improving such things (e.g. @mixxx which is featured in the presentation) with funding, unsuccessfully, but at least someone was able to give a presentation on such things!

/me wonders what would have to transpire for @mixxx to gain "HID mode"/WIR support for Phase, similar to Serato and Virtual DJ.
I don't know what they mean by "compatibility modes" Phase already functions with Mixxx given that Mixxx already supports e.g. Serato timecode (which Phase mimics via RCA jacks) but MWM (the company behind Phase) is not exactly forthcoming about a lot technical details to folks such as I, even though I preordered the friggin thing (in hopes I would have it for an invite I had to deejay in 2018, it wasn't delivered to me until 2019).
IMHO, if they redesigned their battery layout, they could probably have it in the form factor of a 12" disc, but I provided such a suggestion and I haven't seen even the slightest inkling they are looking to iterate their hardware.
Moreover, I get the impression some might want to use it as a turntable "calibration" device (e.g. to measure wow/flutter) but that is just me thinking weird things probably.
For anyone that needs it, here is a site with, as far as I've found, Braille dictionaries designed to be read on a Braille display. There are also EPUB files too.

Wow, NYT. Really?
Via Andrew Weissmann:
The NYT editors are out of control.
Elizabeth McLaughlin:
The sneering tone of this headline from the nytimes says it all. I'm so tired of mainstream media. So damn tired.
Hey, Laffy the online and print editions had different headlines, the online one being much more of a bit of right wing click bait.
(Which might explain why people I know in NYC IRL don't know what I'm talking about when I say the NY Times is going off the rails. )
Could this be an online only trend? (Doesn't make it right.)
Turisti to maju kvazi lahke: nepaci sa? odidu a uz sa nevratia.
My miestni sme na tom horsie: musime sa na to divat resp. v tom fungovat. Pripadne sa zapojit do natahovaciek, ze kto, co, kedy, ako a za co s tym spravi. (Take to, ze ci stat, Magistrat, mestska cast, developer, alebo sami svojpomocne, atd. A ci na ruzovo alebo do hneda. A ci viac zeleno alebo viac betonovo. Atd. a pod.)

Android FOSS developers, please check if any of your dependencies are downloaded from JCenter or repo.spring.io. Both of those have shut down, resulting in failing (reproducible) builds (though you may not notice if you still happen to have them cached locally).
Many have moved to maven central, where a newer version may be available. But many others have simply become unavailable.
If you are the upstream of such dependencies, please publish them to maven central.

Die Unbeugsamen 2: Die widerständigen Frauen der DDR
Im Dokumentarfilm »Die Unbeugsamen 2« zeigt Regisseur Torsten Körner 15 ostdeutsche Frauen aus den verschiedensten Gesellschaftsbereichen der DDR. Ein Gespräch über Emanzipation und Stereotype.nd-aktuell.de
"Der sogenannte Westen weiß viel zu wenig über dieses Erbe, zumal der »Aufbau Ost« zugleich ein »Abriss Ost« war. Im Zuge der »Wiedervereinigung« wurde vieles, das man hätte bewahren müssen, ausradiert, weggesprengt, ausgemerzt, plattgemacht. Ich benutzte hier ganz bewusst brutale Bilder."
Developers, please stop embedding (build) timestamps in binaries (including Android APKs). They are one of the most common reasons for builds not being reproducible. If you really need a timestamp, please use e.g. the timestamp of the last commit, not the current time during the build.
Also no UUIDs or ELF build-ids please. And please be careful with listing files or embedding lists of any kind: reading from the filesystem and the iteration order of hash maps etc. are usually nondeterministic. Sorting helps here. A lot :)
