United Airlines has been in the news recently about their accessibility features. One feature, which was introduced in 2019, is not often talked about, the screen reader on the Inflight Entertainment System.
📅 Finding the perfect calendar alternative to Google doesn’t need to be a challenge: when it comes to best privacy and security the Tuta Calendar wins by far! 📅
My main problem when I tried the calendar was that if I was in a spotty coverage area, I couldn't access any of my calendar data. While Google Calendar would cache some data on my phone so I could still see something.
Another suggestion is some sort of syncing with Outlook. I like to have my work calendar and personal calendar together and making updates in 2 places is a pain.
Please add an ability to add subscribe calendars like e.x. officeholidays.com, calendarlabs.com. It's very useful feature so we can see our country's public holidays in Tuta Calendar.
Bruno Vitorino, que já tinha criticado o uso da expressão “pessoas que menstruam” pela DGS, defende que a ministra da Juventude e Modernização deveria “cingir-se” ao que está no Programa do Governo.
I am so damn tickled to find that the way I've been saying "work" all my life (做工 zuò gōng) refers strictly to physical labour in mainland China, never white-collar jobs.
Singaporeans truly are the descendants of coolies and farmers. 😁
La question est: pourquoi les utilisateurs D9 ont-ils presque tous migré alors que tant de D8 restent sur cette version, malgré la simplicité des migrations D8->D9->D10->D11 ?
Roger Hallam is one of the founders of Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, and a leader in the fight against global climate change. I would like you to read this statement he posted yesterday… 🧵1/4 _______________________
I've just been sentenced to 5 years in prison.
The longest ever for nonviolent action.
The 'crime'?
Giving a talk on civil disobedience as an effective, evidence-based method for stopping the elite from putting enough carbon in the atmosphere to send us to extinction.
I have given hundreds of similar speeches encouraging nonviolent action and have never been arrested for it. This time I was an advisor to the M25 motorway disruption, recommending the action to go ahead to wake up the British public to societal collapse.
I was not part of the planning or action itself.
In the trial, I swore before God to tell the truth. The truth is the science. The science is clear. We're heading for billions of deaths and ecological collapse. To prove this, I presented the jury with a 250-page dossier of leading scientists' research as evidence in my defence. This was denied by the judge as an invalid - climate science is now illegal in the British courtroom.
I then began to speak about the apocalyptic conditions humanity faces - floods, wildfires, mass heat deaths - and was silenced by the judge. He sent out the jury and threatened to arrest me if I didn't stop. Instead, I stayed in the dock and argued that until I was given the right to complete my defence – I would not move. Even the prosecution tried to argue in my defence and the judge let me continue.
When the jury had shuffled in again, I spoke about the legal concept of “equality of arms” – that as the prosecution had had a right to lay facts over a whole week, I also wanted an equal opportunity. I spoke of various cases where juries had acquitted defendants when they had heard the facts, such as the Extinction Rebellion cracking of Shell's windows in 2018 as a reasonable action against criminal destruction. The Dutch Supreme Court has even said that all governments have a legal obligation to prevent the emission of greenhouse gases. Whilst the prosecution accepted that emissions pose an existential threat, for the first time in British history no less, they still tried to convict us for public nuisance rather than praise us for trying to stop those emissions. Given the objectivity of existential threat, there were overwhelming grounds to be involved in a plan to cause some disruption to the M25.
In the British law on public nuisance, there is a ‘reasonable excuse’ clause. Science says there is an overwhelming threat to my life, my children, you and your children. To argue there is not a reasonable excuse directly defies the wish of this legislation. Things are happening that cause harm – people are engaged in physical acts to stop that harm – it doesn’t matter whether it’s a protest or not.
As I began to offer up some case law, the judge kept intervening telling me I was “wasting my time” and ordering the jury to disregard me. To illustrate that I was not talking about my motivations but speaking about real necessity, I referred to a famous case over a decision to operate on conjoined twins with the likelihood that one would die. In this dilemma, I quoted the 19th Century principle that the action was necessary if the threat faced was inevitable and irrevocable, that no more should be done than essential, and that it must be proportionate. I argued that there was a “duress of circumstances” including the objective danger I’ve experienced as a farmer unable to grow food, and the global significance of “food insecurity” – a euphemism for famine and starvation.
There has never been a moment in history where ‘necessity’ has been more supported by objective facts – more than 10,000 scientific and peer-reviewed papers, indicating an outcome of mass starvation and death from man-made climate collapse.
In response, Judge Hehir called for an early lunch and dismissed the jury. He turned to me and warned that I wasn't a lawyer and that “this is not the Roger Hallam show”.
He then gave me just 15 more minutes to put forward my “beliefs” - a totally fucking incoherent statement. This isn’t belief - it’s the objective threat of destruction of property and livelihoods of billions of people and the secondary effects of famine i.e. war, rape, and torture. _______________________

Be happy. Think of your wellness. Across organisations, private and public entities, government bodies and social clubs, the cult of contrived happiness abounds with ritualistic, clotting repetition, writes Binoy Kampmark.
A concept in economics that doesn't get nearly enough airtime is: the diminishing marginal utility of money. Succinctly: the more units of money you've got, the less adding another such unit does—the added value of any one unit drops very steeply.
Over about $200M (personal orbital tourism? Megayacht? Your own tropical island?) there are no more experiences/luxuries that money can buy you. (And over $50M there are very few—bizjet, luxury mansion.) mastodo.neoliber.al/@Legit_Spa…
The older I get, the more I realize how much of a failure of imagination all billionaires are.
Like, NOBODY needs a billion dollars. Nobody. There is no life circumstance where amassing that kind of wealth is necessary.
Pretty good point. If we look at money as labour commanded, I guess the experience it can give you is having control over more people's lives, but there's only so much society should twist itself to allow the kink of dominating tends of thousands of people.
This Economist article very politely points out that Gartner Research are consistently full of shit. But you gotta hand it to them; they carved out a comfortable economic niche that allows them to get paid for just always being wrong--quite an accomplishment!

Nepopsaných příběhů z doby sovětské invaze do Československa v roce 1968 je velmi málo. O to víc překvapí, že se prakticky nic neví o člověku, který by se dal považovat za zosobnění tehdejší zrady. O člověku, který v noci z 20. na 21.
