The best take I've read on that sculpture in Boston: "On a deeper level, this dismemberment represents the misremembering of MLK’s legacy. Simply put: The deliberate forgetting of America’s history plays a crucial role in the self-understanding of White Americans. It makes them feel safe and innocent. It absolves them of the need to feel guilt, anger and empathy — all of which can be necessary emotional catalysts for change." washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…

This week, NV Access founders Mick and Jamie, travelled to Samoa to share the great benefits of NVDA. This article appeared in the Samoa Observer. From the article (in speaking about NVDA): "Samoa Blind Persons Association President Mata’afa Faatino Utumapu said the software held unlimited opportunities for the blind to study and find employment."
A software has been brought to Samoa that will help the blind access computers through a screen reader which enables the visually impaired to access information on their computers.

Layoffs are yet another area where companies refuse to follow the science. Here's what the science says.
Layoffs: - don't save money - don't improve company performance - don't increase stock pricess - destroy trust - have huge impacts on health, well-being, and income of employees
So why do layoffs? It's a network effect: execs lay people off because other companies are doing it
Today’s moment of #transjoy. I went to change my title to “Mr” at my local #barclaysbank branch, and teller asked me if I wanted change my gender in their record as well. I told her I don’t have a #GRC. With a very professional—but very big—smile, she replied that, as far as they’re concerned, it doesn’t matter.
An astounding image of our moment at the precipice:

He tracked his bag to Montreal and said airlines wouldn't give it back
Villains involved in this, one airline I swore to never fly ever again after they scolded me for being too tall, and another airline for which I'd rather not fly because they the monopoly that don't believe in science.

would be grateful if somebody would write up (or better, create a tool) to upgrade postgresql running in a container. I just want to selfhost and not become a database expert. Every upgrade 'guide' I find has some differences and honestly why can't upgrades be easy and automated anyway?

tl;dr: electronic voting in two districts abroad for the French elections didn't work properly, so the election in question was voided.
Le Conseil constitutionnel annule, en raison des dysfonctionnements intervenus lors du vote électronique, les opérations électorales qui se sont déroulées dans deux circonscriptions des Français établis hors de France...

Yesterday I've released my first EP of 2023 (yes more are coming, thanks to last year's weekly beats). Organic, my previous release, happened just around the time I got involved with GIMP and FOSS (99).
Big shout out to @ilzxc who reintroduced me to the joys of electronic music last year. If you listen to the EP on Bandcamp, you can check out a bonus track of his remix of Bratwurst. Really enjoy his special seasoning. Let me know what you think!
hey this is crazy but what if we passed privacy legislation for the internet era that meaningfully held giant corporations and executives accountable for repeatedly over-collecting consumer data then repeatedly failing to secure it
@schmaker Raději se na to nechci moc upínat, abych pak nebyl příliš zklamaný. Tohle totiž taky může vyburcovat Babišovi voliče, kteří by normálně k volbám třeba nešli.
@stepan @schmaker A co se týče druhého kola, tak Babiš je na mém žebříčku od začátku na třetím místě od konce. Feministka se tam nedostala, ale nějak se tam to druhé nejhorší stejně dostalo s ním.
@Archos :distros_arch: :matrix: @Štěpán Škorpil :skorpil_cz: Já jsem v klidu, jednoduchou matematikou mi to pro Babiše prostě nevychází. Zároveň i kdyby se Babiš na hrad dostal, nemyslim si, že může bejt zásadně horší ve funkci, než Zeman. Ale nemám potřebu nad tím nějak přemýšlet, protože se to prostě nestane :)
Zároveň je strašně pěkný, když lidi spojuje vize budoucnosti namísto nadávání, co všechno je na hovno .. to já rád
snažím se věřit, že vyhraje, ale zase jsem se za poslední roky naučil lidskou blbost vůbec nepodceňovat. Mám z něj dobrý pocit. V pondělí jsem měl takovou pesimistickou náladu po tom hnusu, co se vyvalil. Večer jsem si pustil jedno video s Pavlem a úplně mě to hodilo do klidu, najednou jsem věděl, že tenhle týpek tu není, aby prohrál.
