Our NOAA weather Radio hourly reports started with the following.
"at 8 AM, at Pittsburgh International Airport, a thunderstorm was reported."
my question is, was it reported for being too loud? happy Wednesday.


So like

Protesting "the wrong way" is bad

Protesting "the right way" gets ignored

I think some folks just don't want protests of any kind tbh



The liberal, #climate science acknowledging, governments of #Canada and the #USA are banning affordable Chinese made #EVs, but this is fine...


What NVDA said thanks to interrupting popups:
"Boosting CBC News :press: Add-on updates available dialog Updates are available for some of your installed add-ons."
Apparently, NVAccess struck a deal with the CBC to alert the masses about NVDA addon updates. Or something.

haha love when that kind of stuff happens, it's the wierd coincidences in screen reader interruptions joining together like that that make life just a little bit more amusing throughout the day :D

Am schlimmsten finde ich das Statement von Spahn ("wir sollten EU-Recht einfach mal aussetzen"). Was für ein KATASTROPHALES, FATALES Signal. Zu fordern, demokratisch entstandenes Recht & Gesetz einfach "auszusetzen". Wen wundert es da noch, wenn Faschos auf der Straße auch einfach Strafrecht aussetzen und beleidigen, drohen, verletzen und morden?
Spahn ist mitschuld.


Last night I had a nightmare that Gtk+ had not been maintained by 7 years and that Owen Taylor had moved on to a secret Red Had project on social media and I was running frantically trying to get a new release out.

We’ve all heard the phrase “under-promise, over-deliver.”

But what about “over-promise, unsustainably deliver to crush competition, gradually erode consumer trust over time?”

As far as I know carriages only officially open to both sides at 5 stations.

🥳 NIST is making updates to their #password standards:

What do you think of these changes? How do you create your passwords securely?

It's still gonna be a while before universities and companies stop unnecessary password rotations for practices IRL.

🔥 Twitter vs Fediverso 🔥

A la encuesta de @ElSaltoDiario sobre si quedarse o no en Twitter podemos ver que:

En Twitter la mayoría quieren que se queden. El el Fediverso prefieren que lo dejen.

Pero en el Fediverso hay un 79% más de votos que en Twitter. Pero aún seguimos con la matraca de "es que en el Fediverso hay poca interacción y por eso he abandonado mi cuenta".

Twitter es un nido de ratas, huid de allí todes y venid al Fediverso! La reorganización es clave para nuestra sociedad.

Pedir a los rentistas que no sean avariciosos no es política de vivienda.

Hay que tocar los beneficios de los grandes tenedores e intervenir el precio de la vivienda.

Sí, intervenir el precio de la vivienda, ministra. Ya hemos perdido una legislatura, no perdamos esta también.

Na to že som minulý týždeň skoro celý robil a do toho cvičil... v pondelok po tréningu mohol teambuilding dopadnúť aj horšie. Necítim sa ale najlepšie po pravde.


Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:

Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.

A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.

Decoy phones.

Seriously, no one thought about this?...

@cachondo there was a vibrating watch called the Meteor. Not sure if it’s still available. I think it cost about 80 quid.

@dwilliams niche markets, I guess. Sad that scale should still pose problems with JIT production, 3d printing, that sort of stuff should have helped.


I heard they’ve made the world’s strongest suction cup.
