Adults often complain that their kids ask pointless and unanswerable questions like "what's your favorite letter?" But when my kids asked me those I often had a considered answer ready. (Mine is T. Least favorite is V.)
I don't know whether that made things better for them or worse than for other kids with more typical parents. That particular thing was probably better, but the aspects of my personality that gave rise to that particular surface feature probably came out in other ways less amusing.
From the people who brought you Type I and Type II errors:
· Factorising and collecting like terms are now "a class A manoeuvre" and "a class B manoeuvre".
· Topology is now known as "subtopic 7V".
· Pythagoras' theorem is now "Statement π".
Further terminology changes will happen if anyone starts to look like they understand.
There are analyzers to guide you toward that pattern too

@fexplorer What do you mean exactly? uploading images you mean? or like providing translations or something?
uploading on the mapcomplete panoramax instance can only be done via mapcomplete.org and adding images on individual images.
if you want to record many images (for actual street imagery), then you'd have to upload to a different instance (like panoramax.openstreetmap.fr )
Hello everyone! 
We are a new community #DEI initiative for #OpenStreetMap hoping to become a respected group to improve diversity all around the OpenStreetMap community!
To introduce myself, I'm Freya (@Venefilyn) and I created this as I found a lack of a community initiative to increase accessibility coverage within OpenStreetMap and be a safe space for individuals and groups who want to find others like-minded and strive for a safe space in organizing events or other things! 🙏
With 'accessibility', I suspect you mean accessibility for #wheelchair users? Or also for e.g. #blind of #deaf persons?
In either case, there is mapcomplete.org/onwheels which has support for some accessibility tagging. Of course, more tags are always welcome
@MapComplete Definitely! We want to highlight tools such as MapComplete or WheelMap as they serve as great points to improve accessibility around the place. Lots of different kinds of groups need accessibility in one way or another, which is all around you if you know where to look :D
I do not want to rush in with 100 different events or ideas to tackle, I want to start small and build a community with trust and respect, but yes 100% vision-impaired and hearing-impaired is included

Dame Maggie Smith, star of the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey, has died at the age of 89
A statement from Dame Maggie's sons says she died peacefully in hospital on Friday morning
Fellow Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville says she was a "true legend of her generation" with a "sharp eye, sharp wit and formidable talent"
A legend of British stage and screen, Dame Maggie won two Oscars during her career - for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in 1970 and California Suite in 1979
For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:
Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.
So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.
During the last weeks @vsz and me worked on curl's CI performance and reliability. We are pleased.🙂

Interne Untersuchung zu Pushbacks: Schwere Vorwürfe gegen Frontex
Anfang des Jahres war Frontex offenbar erneut in Pushbacks involviert - das haben Recherchen von NDR und WDR gezeigt. Jetzt stellen auch interne Untersuchungen schwere Fehler fest. Frontex-Direktor Leijtens steht unter Zugzwang.
Does anyone who does #GUI programming and uses or has users who use a #ScreenReader or #BrailleTerminal have the scoop on how well Tk (the GUI toolkit of Tcl, accessed via Tkinter in Python) integrates with these tools?
I saw some references to #accessibility as an area of focus in the 8.5 roadmap, and with 9.0 out now, I'd really like to use it - but I need to be able to support screen reader users.

- Painful eye operation:
A doctor tried in the 17th century to surgy a client suffering under an eye disablitation that would cause one eye to not develop properly. While this can be fixed very simply today (by just forcing the weaker eye to develop by putting an eye patch on the stronger one) this wasn't known back then.
And so there was an operation in which the doctor used a sharp knife to directly hit the weaker eye, yes it is exactly that painful as it sounds.
That isn't the worst, however. Back then they didn't know how to make the human body to don't feel pain. And so the client was fully awake, felt the pain and being observated by a large growth of other humans as surgies were done public then.
Not only that, sadly it turned out that this doctor just was a cheater and thus at the end it didn't even help.
I'll left you off with that thoughts. Keep in mind, it always can be worse than you ever could imagine.
1. Bartoš vyštínul dodavatele z ITC unie a ušetřil 1mld na nákladech
2. Bartoš ale musel postavit narychlo nový tým
3. Kterej to nestihnul a Bartoš udělal úplně blbý kroky v komunikaci a neposunul platnost legislavity (nechápu)
4. Mediální masáž (Půr&spol)
5. Analýza ministrů, kteří se v digitalizaci topí ještě víc
6. Bartoš odvolán
7. Převeleno na Min. Dopravy - nejspíš v rozporu s kompetenčním zákonem
Pane Premiére @strakovka s tím ne úplně zvládnutým managementem vás ve vládě bude víc.
Na straně @Pirati a Ivana Bartoše zejména bych chtěl: Víc politické prozíravosti (to je součást té práce a musí se to naučit) a určit víc pokory (zvorali jste to, to se může stát každému, ale je důležité to říct nahlas a říkat, jaké kroky povedou k nápravě).
Na straně ODS&Spol: máte máslo na hlavě úplně stejně a předáváte stát zpátky do rukou monopolních dodavatelů s vendor lock-in. Jste pro mě přizdisráči.
Půr: Nejedná v zájmu veřejnosti, pouze v zájmu svém. Jeho karma.
