2 Monate Fahrverbot und 150 Tagessätze für den Todesfahrer von Andreas Mandalka. Das erscheint manchen wenig, die Geldstrafe ist aber fast ein halbes Jahreseinkommen. Nichts kann ein Menschenleben aufwiegen.
Artikel in den BNN ohne Zahlschranke, der auch den Autofahrer erwähnt, der in die Gedenkfaht gefahren ist: bnn.de/pforzheim/enzkreis/neuh…
If you are like me, you often need to type or copy and paste things over and over again. For example, I have a couple Zoom meetings I host. Even though I email the Zoom info to people, there is always somebody who calls me or emails me and asks for the Zoom info again. This used to be annoying, until I found out about the text substitution feature of Microsoft Word and Outlook. Note, I do not know if this feature works in the new version of Outlook. I have only tried this in Outlook Classic. The way this works is that whatever text you need to put in a Outlook email or Word document often, you create what Word or Outlook calls a building block with the text. As an example, I created a building block with my personal zoom room and called it pz. To do this, I did the following:
- I started a new email in Outlook.
- I copied the Zoom info from Zoom into the email.
- I selected all of the text containing the Zoom info.
- I pressed Alt F3.
- A box came up asking me for the name of the building block. I typed pz. You can type whatever word or phrase you want.
- I pressed Enter.
Now, whenever I need to put this info into an email, I type pz followed by F3. Just like that, my Zoom info is in the body of the email.

Mandated wiretap interfaces and cryptographic backdoors are *expensive*, both in terms of money and, more importantly, exposure to risk. Worse, those burdens are borne inequitably.
Overall, almost no one is the subject of a lawful wiretap, even in places where wiretapping is an important investigative tool. Most people aren't suspects. But these mandates degrade security (and impose other costs) for *everyone*, the vast majority of whom will never be wiretapped.
Qué terible brutalidad, y qué sentimiento pone esta chica... bueno, ya abuela supongo. Hasta se le quiebra la voz cuando lo cuenta.
Mozilla's CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now.
tl;dr: "LOL get fucked"
They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in surveillance advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way....

3.2.2 and 3.2.5 talk about unexpected changes of context, and opening a popup then moving focus to it is a change of context, but the criterion hinges on whether that change is “unexpected”.
It could be argued that this kind of popup-login pattern is quite common, and therefore not unexpected. If I was auditing, I wouldn’t fail them for that.
So yeah I share your frustration and annoyance with this pattern, but I don’t think it’s a WCAG failure.
@siblingpastry I have no way to predict whether a given website will be using Google as just one of its many login providers, before I visit and get this dialogue in my face. From that point of view, could we reasonably claim that if something is impossible to predict, it's also unexpected when it does happen?
I would only truly expect a Google related login prompt to be forced on me if visiting a website owned by Google. I don't much enjoy the idea of disabled people expecting bad behaviour by default, and hence it becoming normalised.
Meanwhile, if a website offered 15 social providers and they all followed this behaviour, it would be hugely disappointing if WCAG had nothing to say about the web essentially becoming un-browsable.

While Heinlein had a valid point in this authorial insert, he tiptoed around his own cognitive biases: if entertainers and athletes were inappropriate, WHO did he think deserved to be taken seriously? And why are entertainers and athletes disqualified? Consider President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, or President Vaclav Havel of Czecheslovakia—a comedian on one hand and a satirist on the other, both went on to be statesmen.
I'm amused even Heinlein drew a line on organ trade in The Cat Who Walked through Walls:
As for the foot itself, by invariant local custom "spare parts" (hands and feet and hearts and kidneys, etc.) were not bought or sold; there was only a service and handling charge billed with the cost of surgery.
Galahad confirmed this. "We do it that way to avoid a black market. I could show you planets where there is indeed a black market, where a matching liver might mean a matching murder--but not here. Lazarus himself set up this rule, more than a century ago. We buy and sell everything else... but we don't traffic in human beings or pieces of human beings."

in reply to Hannu Ikonen • • •Which brings me to the NIAID political hack normie so-called doctor equating mask hesitancy to acknowledging trauma:
ohai.social/@thatkatharine/113…
Mask / covid denial is the **OPPOSITE** of acknowledgment.
Denial is what you seek to create around you, not a safe space for trauma therapy.
Fuck.
Outta.
Here with that bullshit.

in reply to Hannu Ikonen • • •Tip for the "gotta meet em where they are at folks:" You do that by listening, modeling, and validating the valid. You don't do it by denying reality. You don't do it by feeding denial & modeling adverse coping strategies (such as not masking during a pandemic).
Literally part of the six levels of DBT validation.

People crave being heard. What they don't crave is cowardice equated as leadership when it comes to public policy that is meant to create a safe space.
None of this denial bullshit solves the problem, makes it better, makes it bearable. It actually perpetuates the insult, the trauma, through a #COVID19 carousel that people cannot disembark from.
White leadership's response to #COVID19 across the board, across all political parties, is a total failure of leadership, courage, validation, empathy, & willingness to stand taut against injustice that is a pervasive, arbitrary risk of disability from infectious disease.
Here's Carl Rogers, LISTENING to a black man's pain, rather than leading the discussion from the top down.
Levels of Validation:
- Shows interest
- Reflects
- Interprets and applies to other comments & thoughts
- Validates the valid
- Appreciates the emotion given the determinant causes of it, even anger.

It's never too late to stand up and do the right thing for you and those around you. #WearAMask

in reply to Hannu Ikonen • • •When I see a world denying an airborne viral pandemic, and I have grown up seeing hand hygiene, cooking, boiling, and all sorts of other sterilization-centric activities intended to prevent disease embraced, *and on top of that* I see the consequences of COVID denial in front of my face, day after day, in the minds & bodies of the injured,
I start to feel like I learned that 2+2=4 but the majority of the 'professionals' around me did not get that -- that math, or reality, or a virus don't give a fucking shit about your desire to will 2+2=5 into existence. That reality is telling you to stop trying to make Fetch happen, ya bunch of covid denying Weiners.
