The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced progress this year to reduce customer burden by transitioning wet (physical) signature requirements to digital signatures for more than 30 forms as well as removing the signature requirements altogether for 13 forms. These actions simplify application processes, including removing a potential reason for claims to be sent back or denied.

Los brasileños se adaptan a la vida sin X mientras migran en masa a Bluesky: “Acabo de entender que estaba enganchada a Twitter”.
Antes o después lo entenderán también los jueces. Muchos de ellos tendrán que desengancharse primero.
Lo malo es que antes o después se vendrán para acá.

This "perfect #tea strength chart" pops up from time to time, and I struggle with the #maths of it.
At first glance it appears to show how tea strength changes in two variables. One variable is labelled 1-6, the other A-F, but (here's my first problem) it is not specified what is being varied along each axis. One *could* be brew time; the other *could* be milk quantity, but I don't know for sure, and even if I'm right there's no way to tell which is which.
Further, it appears to me that mugs along the same 45⁰ diagonal running from bottom left to top right have exactly the same colour. This may indicate that (if my guess at the variables is correct) any colour change introduced by altering brew time can be offset by changing milk quantity (and vice-versa), but this feels dubious.
I'm more inclined to believe that there is actually only one variable at work here (if pushed, I would guess that it's the amount of milk), and that instead of 36 different strengths of tea there are actually only 11.
I think this 2D chart should really be a 1D spectrum, and that the conductors of the study have chosen an unnecessarily complicated visualisation which implies things that aren't true. It's almost as if this isn't the result of dedicated and rigorous academic practice.
En mi ciudad #ElPuertoDeSantaMaría, en 2024, el gobierno del Partido Popular ha nombrado un parque público en homenaje a un ex alcalde condenado por por prevaricación, cohecho, delitos contra la ordenación del territorio y blanqueo de capitales y con una inhabilitación por 17 años para ejercer cargos públicos. Casi nada. Una vergüenza para nuestra ciudad y sus ciudadanos.
Escribo sobre ello en el periódico Viva El Puerto.

Do Nizozemska se lidé často stěhují proto, že je to jedna z mála zemí EU, kde se dá snadno domluvit anglicky. Při nejmenším ve velkých městech to určitě platí a ve svém okolí mám i pár kolegů, kteří se ani po víc než deseti letech pobytu jinak než anglicky…

The Council of Europe has made a #treaty on #AI (Treaty number 225), open to other signatories, and has been joined by the US and other countries. I've taken a quick look, and while it's mostly fluff (AI shall be used for good and not evil type stuff) there are a couple of useful bits.
There's a risk framework that states have to set up, to consider the graduated risks of AI in different areas. A possibility for a moratorium of AI use in specific high-risk areas. An obligation that, where AI is used to make decisions, people affected can challenge them and be given an understanding of the systems involved. There's also an obligation to assure to people that they are notified they are communicating with an AI rather than a human.
For more info, here's the treaty (PDF warning): rm.coe.int/1680afae3c

What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?
I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?
Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?

Finally! NVDA 2025.1 will be able to recognize and announce same page links, and buttons which point to text on the same page. It's part of Alpha 33850, and can be disabled, if desired, in NVDA's Document Formatting settings pane. So issue #141, opened on Jan 1, 2010, is closed. Thanks to everyone who helped materialize this: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

Not only the city steal and destroy property, but they do it so carelessly that they almost threw a person into the garbage compactor.
Shameful and criminal.
Wait a damn minute, look at that pull request discussion and the diff as committed… the CTO of #Firefox has amended #Mozilla's "Neutral" position regarding #JPEGXL to indicate that their "cost" concerns are mainly about the security risks of a decoder being 100k lines of C++, and that they would be "open to shipping" a memory-safe decoder that meets their requirements?
And some folks at Google are going to write that implementation in Rust?!
I… I did not expect that.
