El futbol llanero devora las chinampas de Xochimilco:

Desde hace más de una década en cientos de chinampas ya no se siembra, se juega futbol. Ya sea porque los propios chinamperos decidieron cambiar los cultivos por balones o porque otros fueron despojados de sus tierras. Se trata de una zona declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.

I recently discovered that the OpenCore boot loader has a screen reader built into it, which makes it the only boot manager accessible to the blind. OpenCore contains UEFI drivers for different hardware and filesystems, and one of them is an audio driver that works with Intel HDA cards that are very common on both desktop and laptop motherboards. There is an option in its configuration file called PickerAudioAssist that enables the screen reader if the audio driver is configured. When this is enabled, OpenCore will speak which operating systems are available to boot, and then it will speak the selected option when you press an arrow key, and it will say which option it is loading when you press enter or when the timeout expires. It uses audio files of the words and phrases it speaks instead of using a speech synthesizer, so it is limited in what it can speak. For example, there are audio files for Windows and MacOS but not for Linux, so it will say "other OS" for any linux distribution. However, this is still much better than only hearing a beep and having to guess where you are or memorize the menu to figure out which option is selected. OpenCore was designed to boot MacOS on non-Apple hardware, so it implemented audio and screen reading functionality similar to what Apple implemented on Intel Macs but for all X86 computers, and you don't need to install MacOS to use OpenCore if you don't want to. dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Po…

Yep, a self-healing metal.

Scientists have discovered that metal-halide perovskite, a next-generation semiconductor material, can self-heal from radiation damage in space. And this could be a game-changer for space-based solar panels and future power generation.

Space radiation can damage satellites − my team discovered that a next-generation material could self-heal when exposed to cosmic rays

Spacecraft exteriors that automatically heal from radiation damage would change the game − one material shows promise.

Notes from Nerdsville.

Since I started watching all the classic Doctor Who espisodes in order, I've come to appreciate the quiet horror of the first Cybermen.

With minimal paraphernalia, and face coverings like bandages, they're easily the most creepy, evoking the sort of body horror their increasingly shiny descendants have lost. The weird, elongated pronunciation adds to the effect.

Bill Potts transforms into one of these monsters in The Doctor Fails.

Did you know? The menu theme for the old Monkey Business audio game is a MIDI file called rastamon from Passport Designs. Here's my attempt at replicating the render of the file that appears in the game. As played on the S-YXG50 VSTi, with the 2 mb ROM and XGLite enabled. Thanks to @pitermach for the initial discovery.

This coming Friday, July 26th, is the one year birthday of a major accessibility issue in documentation for website developers being pointed out, and little has been done.

Let's put it to bed without birthday cake.

Brain cancer has removed my ability to help, but I hope it's possible. If you've written HTML or CSS take the time to read over the issue, this is important.

Boosts appreciated 💜

@KE8UPE RIM is free if you're the person who is receiving assistance. I don't know if AIRA's free tier allowing for daily five-minute calls provides this capability so it would be better to ask them about this. Even if it did, you would be pretty limited as to how much help you could receive because of the brief time allowed per day. Now if Be My Eyes had agents who could do it that would be pretty amazing.
