oh and one more thing: it has apparently a digital (probably IP-based) PA system so there's 100ms-ish latency from the microphone to the speakers.

This makes it uncomfortable for the train managers to give announcements as they hear themselves delayed. Many are solving this by speaking very soft or from distance so that they don't hear themselves. The problem is that then nobody hears anything.

@Oskar456 I was almost commenting on that. I thought it was just that the system is bad.

Also, the toilet is already in a really bad state. The door closed halfway and the opened again. The door handle was falling off and there was water standing in the wash basin. I know NS refuses to properly maintain the toilets, but this is a new train.

„Ich wollte Mama etwas fragen, aber sie war immer noch sauer und hat so getan, als wäre ich gar nicht da.“
„Das habe ich dir doch schon dreimal gesagt!“
„Wenn du nicht mitkommst, dann gehe ich ohne dich!“
„Gleich setzt es was!“
„Wenn Du nicht sofort aufhörst, gehst du heute ohne Essen ins Bett.“
„In einer halben Stunde muss die Küche tipp-topp aussehen. Sonst darfst du deine Serie nicht gucken.“
„Es war ja klar, dass du wieder eine Vier nach Hause bringst. So wird aus dir nie eine Ärztin!“
„Du hast 2 Wochen Hausarrest!“
„Du machst alles falsch!“
„Aus dir wird nie was!“
„Mama und Papa haben sich angeschrien und ich hatte so Angst, dass Papa Mama wieder schlägt.“

"Psychische #Gewalt hat eine ähnliche Auswirkung wie kÜrperliche Gewalt und begleitet die Kinder und Jugendlichen ihr Leben lang. Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam ein Bewusstsein fßr psychische Gewalt schaffen. Denn sie ist allgegenwärtig."

"Nicht selten leiden diese Kinder und Jugendliche bis ins Erwachsenenalter unter Depressionen oder Angstgefßhlen. Sie sind weniger belastbar, stressanfällig und haben Schwierigkeiten, ihr Leben und die Herausforderungen zu meistern."

“It turns out the Tesla’s 12-volt battery had died, rendering the car a giant brick. We’ve seen this happen before. When this happens, there is an emergency switch not many people seem to know about located near the driver’s side armrest that will open the doors. In this case, however, that latch would have been of no help; Sanchez was outside the car and there’s no way a toddler would know to release an emergency latch.”

Anyone else spend way too much time thinking about the grammar of linking to things?

In this fragment I'm not at all confident about the "backs up that data" link, maybe I should have included "as JSON" in that link...

Anyone seen a comprehensive style guide that addresses this?

Do any screen reader users have tricks for locating a Youtube video's description? I was viewing this one on the web. He talks about specific audio cables he's ordering from Amazon, and there's a link to them in the description. I've tried with both JAWS and NVDA, but can't find a fool proof way to jump to a video's description, or for that matter, even get to the comments. #a11y youtube.com/watch?v=I0yFQi4b5c…

I’ve written some thoughts on Blind Spot: Exploring and Educating on Blindness by Maud Rowell, a short book that packs a punch! These essays are so insightful, writing about issues I’ve been thinking about recently in a far more eloquent way than I could ever manage #blind #Braille #Disability #accessibility #art #museums #bookstodon#BookReview #Storygraph @bookstodon @disability

Wer kommt mit nach Sarajevo?
Vom 26.8. bis zum 2.9.2024 (vorletzte Woche der Sommerferien in BW) biete ich eine Mischung aus Einsatz und Studienreise nach Sarajevo an. UrsprĂźnglich war das mit Jugendlichen aus unserer Gemeinde gedacht, da haben sich aber zu wenige interessiert.

Sarajevo ist die Hauptstadt von Bosnien-Herzegowina, eine spannende

In response to their continued dismantling of valuable digital libraries, I officially refuse to buy any more books from members of the Association of American Publishers (AAP).

Yes, I'm aware this includes huge publishers like Penguin and Macmillan.

From now on, if I need a book from an AAP member for work or research, I will obtain it by other means.

If that means I have to steal it, so be it.
I will consider (CONSIDER) ending this strike if the ruling is reversed.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonti! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐕
Bouřilo i v noci, trošku mi to obouchalo rajčata, kedlubny mají potrhané listy, takže možná i pár krup nakonec spadlo. Mini bouřka tady byla i před chvílí, když jsme se vrátili z procházky. Byli jsme brzo, protože máme odjíždět na Hlubokou.
Teda doufĂĄm, Ĺže pojedeme.
MezitĂ­m se znovu rozprĹĄelo.
Snad jste všichni v pořádku a vstáváte s veselou náladou. Je sobota, den válení se, dobrého jídla a výletů! 😊👋

@djc yeah, xmlparser is more like a high-level tokenizer, but one has to implement the actual XML semantics oneself (last time I looked). I'm waiting for someone else's XML parser (based on xmlparser's tokenization), but I don't think they've made it public yet...

Good luck with instant-xml! It seems practical for things like configuration files and things that are much more constrained than SVG.

Top Ten Shows I’d Like to See on DogTV

I just became aware of an on-demand TV service called DogTV. Apparently, this channel offers programs for humans as well as their dogs, probably similar to the channel which provides entertainment for babies. I knew that television was going to the dogs but I never knew this was literally the case, until now. After giving this some thought, I have compiled a top ten list of shows, movies and music that I hope to find on this channel.

1. Game of Bones
2. Keeping Up With the Cocker Spaniels
3. Regis and Collie
4. Designated Retriever
5. My Big, Fat Fabulous Labrador
6. Toy Poodle Story
7. That zombie classic … The Walking Dog
8. In music … I Want to Lick Your Hand … by the Beagles
9. Chicago Puppies
and finally …

10. Old Reruns of the Price is Right … with Bob Barker

Apple Says It Won’t Ship Major New OS Features in the EU This Fall Due to DMA Uncertainty macstories.net/linked/apple-sa…

"The fact that the EU interior ministers want to exempt police officers, soldiers, intelligence officers and even themselves from chat control scanning proves that they know exactly just how unreliable and dangerous the snooping algorithms are that they want to unleash on us citizens."
