Human composting should be a third option after burial and cremation.

My wife, Tui Davidson, spent her volunteer energy to provide a not-for-profit funeral service for Canberra. Five years later, they are a successful operation.

On Thursday, I was honoured and proud to attend her graduation from a social entrepreneur course called GRIST from Mill House Ventures. Earthly Remains is her human composting initiative and, as well as working with partners to develop the technology, she is lobbying the ACT government to create legislation to allow it, as 13 US states have done.

The GRIST program supported the creation of a short video which explains it better than I can.

She is also looking to collect data about community attitudes and would appreciate your input on a survey found at the website below.

Sorry, stupid question.

How do you paste file in directory with Gnome Files (v46.2) when directory list takes all window space?

Older version had paste in that locationbar menu.

the "paste" menu item was there in the past because you could not click on the empty space on the side, top, and below the items; these days, you can.

There's also the key shortcut, of course.

Buenos días. Hoy sigo enfermo así que me quedo en casa.

Tuve un sueño muy desagradable de que llegaba una diligencia de ordenación en un asunto acumulado criticando el cómputo de plazos en la Administración, se filttraba a la prensa, y me echaban a mi la culpa de todo. A ver, mente, faltan problemas como para que te tengas que inventar esto?

Currently adding these sections to about windows of some popular apps whose developers I know have multiple well-known projects. My hope is that these people get inspired to replicate the change to the listed apps as well 🙂

@bagder@mastodon.social My project has gone much longer than that despite being far more complex. (this is of course a sign of how little people are looking at my project and says nothing about security)

This fun little test scene is using #SVG textPath elements to make an arching caterpillar, some bees, and a trail of ants coming out of an anthill. Except all the bugs are made out of #braille that spells out the type of bug it's making up. Using the Braille36 Tiger font and using Unicode Braille Pattern characters for the braille itself to be visifle and embossable. It's really fun reading the braille in a non-standard way around the paper! #Blind #TactileGraphics #BlindSVG
A leaf made out of grey outlines and a stem is in the center of the drawing. On top of the leaf, the braille characters spelling out "caterpillar" are arched mimicking the body posture of a caterpillar inching along. An anthill is at the bottom of the drawing, with a line of braille ants coming out of it and marching down the side and along the ground. Two braille bees are in the upper right and lower right areas of the drawing, flying in different angles.

I wish we could get an update for the glasses that would allow us to only record audio. Given that these things have 32 gigs of onboard audio you would have a wearable digital recorder right there with you. The stereo recordings overall with these things are pretty awesome.

Private browser windows in Firefox have the text "Private Browsing" in the title bar. The word "Private" in that phrase gets treated as a title by Eloquence because of the capitalization, so I find myself imagining a private in some military named Browsing every time I hear it.

I thought that was just me, good to know.
Also, when I got given my first Windows 9x machine, the person demoing it to me used Microsoft Mary. the drive letter and closing right parenthesis in the properties of a drive in Windows explorer used to be pronounced "c smiley". Originally I believed it to be a smiley because I had lots of free space and, if I filled up the hard drive, it'd turn into a frown.

@BorrisInABox @cachondo I used to sometimes get the same "C smiley" effect by using an emoticon dictionary (maybe Doug Lee's?) with JAWS. I think it was designed for Skype but sometimes application settings didn't get switched properly straight away

@graham @BorrisInABox I don't think JAWS switches config until you release the alt key when alt+tabbing, so iirc, the titlebar of any other window you're about to access is covered by the dictionary of the originally focused app.
So that would make a lot of sense.

Danke #Merz! Der Typ hat echt mal so keine Ahnung von der Realität…

Wie kann ein normaler Arbeitnehmer solche einen Typen bzw. die dazugehörige Partei wählen?
Politik für den Bürger? Fehlanzeige!

Und den Umweltschutz auf der Strecke lassen, ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht der jungen Generationen.

Wer #Merz oder die #CDU wählt, der wählt Rückständigkeit und soziale Kälte

taz.de/!6036751/

Text Shot: Doch kaum verklausuliert macht Merz auch klar: Unter seiner Regierung soll es einen ordnungspolitischen Rechtskurs mit weniger Sozialleistungen und Klimaschutz geben. Merz fordert eine „Agenda 2030“. Ar­beit­neh­me­r:in­nen müssten dazu gebracht werden, „wieder mehr zu leisten, als im Arbeitsvertrag steht“ – nur so könne die Bundesrepublik „Land der industriellen Fertigung“ bleiben. Das gerade erst eingeführte Bürgergeld will Merz genauso abschaffen wie „die überbordende europäische Bürokratie“.

I was at a masked meetup in Golden Gate Park today, enjoying the company of fellow #CovidIsNotOver peeps. There's a discord server that we use to coordinate, and it's usually just an informal hang. We're not completely off the beaten path, but let's just say parking isn't a problem.

Guy (properly masked) walks up to us and asks us if we're a #CovidConsious group. He'd never heard of us, and thought he and his wife were the only ones.

Visibility matters, y'all.

Every time government leaders get a raise, minimum wage should be raised by the same percentage.

Every time a CEO gets a raise, including bonuses, all workers should get their pay increased by the same percentage.

If they need raises in their living wage, it only goes to follow that everyone else does as well.

Weitere Fragen zur #Barrierefreiheit und #Screenreader

Ich habe ein Manuskript, das vor allem aus Dialogen besteht, also wie ein Hörspiel oder Theaterstück. Eine Hörspielumsetzung mit echten Personen ist wohl unrealistisch.

In der visuellen Version werden die Sprechenden durch Emojis vermerkt, die kann ich leicht durch Namen ersetzen, als AltText oder in einer extra Version.

Wie würdest du so etwas lesen wollen?

Namen sind wahrscheinlich einfacher, da ihre Aussprache vorhersehbarer ist – Emojis werden immer standardisierter und die meisten sind zugänglich, aber sie können oft auch eine längere Beschreibung haben – was nicht ideal ist, wenn sie wie in Ihrem Beispiel regelmäßig verwendet werden.

Benutzt du einen #Screenreader oder Ähnliches?

Vermute ich richtig, dass eine einfache HTML-Seite (ohne JavaScript oder kompliziertes Layout) bei gleichem Inhalt grundsätzlich barrierefreier ist als eine PDF-Datei? Wie ist es mit ePub?

Wertet dein Screenreader PDF-Tagging und Alternativtexte aus, oder liest er nur vor, was an der Oberfläche zu sehen ist?

ConTeXt ist eine TeX-Variante, Parallele zu LaTeX, aber mit einer viel kleineren Community.
Bei LaTeX wurde in letzter Zeit mit erheblichem Aufwand das Tagging für barriereärmeres PDF verbessert. Die ConTeXt-Entwickler stellen die Validatoren zufrieden, im Bewusstsein, dass gutes semantisches Tagging anders aussieht. Solange man TaggedPDF aber nur mit Acrobat Pro analysieren kann, und das niemand finanzieren möchte, wird nicht mehr passieren.

A five star review from Calvin: “I love my fingers” Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014 One day I did something stupid and jammed my thumb into the spinning blade of my table saw I expected 3/4 inch of the end of my thumb to be gone, blood all over the place, and a $10,000 trip to the hospital. Fortunately that spinning blade was on a SawStop saw and I received only a tiny nick. Just down to the pink, no bleeding. I put a band aid on it and sat in the corner until my heart rate slowed to normal. The brake cartridge and blade were toast but less than $200 to replace. If l'd cut off my finger it would have been my fault, no question. But since we all eventually do something careless this system is worth every penny. Besides, it is a great saw.

I find myself really irked by the headline here. The problem is not a "simple website bug", the problem is that they wrote thousands of lines of code without ever thinking about what the trust boundaries are, or should be.

This is a massive design flaw. The idea that cars should be controllable from some mothership is bizarre (and not needed for app control - have a digital signature from the mobile device). The idea that cars are enrolled even if the user didn't set up an account is similarly broken. This isn't a "simple website bug" but a massive failure to consider the security implications of features.

The Most Effective Ways to Keep Your Home Address Off the Web cnet.com/home/security/want-to…

Some of these science videos I see on TikTok are so absurd I'm convinced I'm being trolled.

There was one where they were putting a bunch of bees into tiny chairs in a miniature classroom. Then they placed explosives in front of the class and only fed the bees which attempted to investigate the explosives. As a result the bees became conditioned to instinctively stick out their tongues expecting food whenever they detected the scent of explosives. So they built a handheld explosive scanner where the cartridges are literally just rows of bees in tiny chairs and a computer vision algorithm which monitors how many bees stick out their tongues at any one time.

I though this has to be an elaborate prank, but according to Google, this is actually a real device that someone made.
