I adore the VoiceOver feature that causes activities to trigger later than you wanted them to, for example by switching to a voice for code snippets only for the text *after* the end of a <code> element.

I enjoy it so much that I'm considering making an NVDA add-on to introduce the same level of inaccuracy to config profiles. Imagine your Notepad settings only being applied after Alt-Tabbing away from Notepad, or your say all settings only being activated after resuming manual reading. Game changer.

We can have people who are asking for rights for Palestinians. Absolutely fine. But we can't have this kind of identity-based hate movement being taught in classrooms

“Bondi was a warning shot,” cautions Cary Kogan, professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa. “If Western governments aren’t going to deal with the issue (of antisemitism), this is what we’re going to end up with. And I worry; the intelligence community has told us very clearly that there are bad actors here in Canada, and you know, the government needs to listen.”

“In a very strategic and intentional way,” Cary asserts, “our universities are being used as a source of ideological propaganda. And there are bad actors who we know are doing that.” It makes sense, he adds, if you are trying to get some “intellectual ideological capture,” focus on university campuses; that’s where you have the most academic freedom.

Daphne update.

Our prayers have been answered. She survived the general anaesthetic, which was our first major concern as it was a risk.

The MRI showed she had a massive stroke today, the seizure behaviour was her having the stroke and then going into a massive panic attack because she lost her sight and control of her legs.

When I left her she was writhing around in a kennel and I put my face to hers so she knew I was there, she was panicking but licked my face as she knew it was her dad. I thought it was going to be our last interaction.

The specialist called and reassured us that she should make an almost full recovery. Mrs B has been in bits all day, I've been doing the stoic bit.

When the lovely specialist said "she'll be chasing bunnies again" I fucking folded. Glad she was on the phone and couldn't see me ugly crying.

Thank you all so much for your support. I appreciate the messages but as I said, just knowing people are thinking of us was enough.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) has been invited to speak at #39C3 later today. If you make it to the mic in time, here is an interesting question for her: "If I’m put on a boycott list by the Trump regime because I’m openly anti-fascist or oppose war crimes, will you adhere to US laws and block my access to #Signal?"

in reply to Daniel Gultsch

you are aware that there are only two answers to this question.

„No“ isn‘t one of them.

„We will follow all laws we are subjected to“ is the default answer.

„We believe the government is wrong and we will sue the government“ is the rare answer.

I believe this has only happened a handful of times in tech so far. DJB, (old) Twitter and GitHub have successfully done so.

Would be nice to see Signal join that list.
