Every American should be able to turn on the faucet and drink clean water. That’s why our Administration is working to replace every lead pipe in America within a decade.
The Value of Open Source in Furthering Accessibility Goals Mike Gifford, Senior Strategist 5/4 04:10 ~ 04:40 @ R2 Open source has the potential to play a key role in supporting a more inclusive society.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has published standards for Indoor Air Quality (ASHRAE 62.1 & 62.2) and Control of Infectious Aerosols (ASHRAE 241).
I've done a first pass over the numbers published in ASHRAE 241, converting the cited numbers for various scenarios to cubic meters of clean air per person per hour. Then compared that to some of the air filters I've been looking at recently:
Excited to share a new blog post detailing GitHub's journey in fostering accessibility through our in-house Champions program. Learn how we empower accessibility advocates within our organization to drive positive change and gain insights for fostering accessibility in your own organization! 🙌
As part of GitHub's dedication to accessibility, we expanded our internal accessibility program and scaled up our assessment process to help remove or lower barriers for users with disabilities.
I don't knot whether you work at GitHub, but if yes, there is an accessibility feature I've been asking for years already, I did talk to GitHub employees, but still no dice… I'm talking about multiline commenting. I.e., in pull request view, you cannot comment on multiple lines at once if you are blind or at least if you don't use a mouse.
Hi @menelion - yes, I do work at Github and part of the team that responds to accessibility user feedback. Do you have an issue or post you could link to that describes the feature in more detail?
I brought it zillion times on various Microsoft accessibility channels, adding it here and hoping for good. I use GitHub every day with a screen reader (my preferred setup is Windows + Chrome + JAW...
@menelion - thank you for the link! I can't make any guarantees, but I'll at least boost it internally and look into any progress that may have been made
Hi again Carie! I was skimming through the comments on that discussion I created for multiline comments accessibility. And I wanted to bring one more thing: first, it would be nice to add it to the accessibility category. And second, the Accessibility category itself is a nightmare of a mess: lots of scam, lots of off-topic discussions. I'd be glad to help in cleaning this, but of course I have no access to do that.
Hi @menelion - sadly the `accessibility` board gets the most spam b/c it is the first one listed and robots are lazy, so not a ton I personally can do about that.
I will be reaching out to the maintainer of the board to see what we can do to "clean house" as there are definitely improvements to be made in quality of content. TBH I think this was an area that did not have as much focus on in the past, but hopefully that is changing as it is a great place to get community feedback
Apple ecosystem is overrated, welcome to the gnome ecosystem 🤓 (this is mostly a demo and you should not rely on these in a daily basis in a production environment) #gnome #gnomemobile #postmarketos
Another day, another malicious Open Source app clone on #GooglePlay
Of course, according to Google, this app does not violate the "impersonation" policy. Probably because they're making money off the malicious clone (given it contains ads) but not off the original app.
I can't put into words how I feel about Google constantly mistreating FOSS developers that just want to share their code to make the world a better place with increasingly hostile store policies even banning donations while actively turning a blind eye whenever Open Source apps get stolen and filled with ads/sold despite the license disallowing it, even when reported.
It's MAY! You know what that means? Well, lots of things, but this post is about MAY TROPE MAYHEM, our annual prompt-a-day creation event for fan and original works! Check out the prompts, learn about the event, and hey, maybe come create with us! duckprintspress.com/2024/04/30…
@helpers I updated my OS from Debian 11 to 12 (finally) and when I did, apache2 broke. I've got it reinstalled, but I'm 99% certain it's missing required modules. (see: social.jlamothe.net for the error I'm encountering). Is anyone able to help me hunt down which modules I'm still missing?
@Jonathan Lamothe The error is non-specific, you would have to look at the error log (/var/log/apache2/error.log by default on Debian) to figure it out.
PM: Senkung der Hemmschwelle durch den Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz – #Lavender und Co. sind als #Kriegsverbrechen einzustufen.
Wir fordern, die Praxis des „Targeted Killing“ mit unterstützenden KI-Systemen als Kriegsverbrechen einzustufen. Die derzeitige Nutzung von intelligenten Systemen und Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen in geheimdienstlichen und militärischen Sicherheitsapparaten muss gestoppt werden.
Wir stellen dazu ein #Positionspapier vor, das der Aufklärung der Öffentlichkeit und als Grundlage für weitere Diskussionen und politische Forderungen dienen soll.
The #LAS2024 Call for Participation is open! Both in-person and remote talks are welcome, make sure to submit yours by July 30! Learn more and submit your proposals: linuxappsummit.org/cfp/

India has the 2nd largest number of English speakers in the world, and yet when it comes to typographic design in the Latin script, we look to the West.
I’m excited to facilitate a speculative thought exercise at City Scripts 2024 to explore how the Latin alphabet might look if it embraced design influences from Indic scripts. Together, we’ll think, draw and imagine new typographic pasts & futures.
Last month, 28000 streams made £86. If 9 people bought a physical CD or a digital download of my album, I’d have made the same. The system is broken. Today is #BandcampFriday where BC waive fees. All proceeds of downloads and CD sales go to artists! Please order here ➡️ ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/album/io…
In #Berlin dürfen Eltern gerade je nach Schule ihre Kinder nur von dort abholen, wenn sie mit dem Auto kommen. Bestimmt weil der grobe Pollenfilter die giftigen Gase filtert oder so 🤦♂️
"Mehrere Schulen im Gefahrengebiet, darunter die Schule Königin Luise-Stiftung in Dahlem und die Athene-Grundschule in Lichterfelde, haben mitgeteilt, dass Schüler die Schulgebäude momentan nicht verlassen dürfen. Alle Kinder bleiben in den Gebäuden und die Fenster verschlossen. Die Kinder dürfen nur gehen, wenn sie mit dem Auto abgeholt werden, ansonsten müssen sie in der Schule übernachten."
Im südwestlichen Berliner Ortsteil Lichterfelde steht eine Fabrikhalle in Flammen, die Rauchwolken sind von weitem zu sehen. In der brennenden Halle standen auch Chemikalien, doch am Nachmittag gibt die Feuerwehr Entwarnung.
@WestphalDenn naja, die Befürchtung war eine Blausäurewolke über Westberlin.. da hilft eine FFP2 jetzt eher wenig.. ob ein Autofilter mehr bewirkt hätte oder ob der Weg zum Auto vielleicht noch gefährlicher gewesen wäre sei mal dahingestellt. Bei dem Gefahrenpotential ist eine derartige Warnstufe aber schon irgendwie gerechtfertigt finde ich.
@komaspieler Ja gut das erklärt die Alarmstufe. Glaube, dass an der auch nie ernsthaft gezweifelt wurde. Die Konzentration aufs Auto hingegen wirkt irgendwie willkührlich.
