Hm, pred 8 rokmi mi aj "iba" jeden terabit stál za napísané blogu:

A tuto hajzlíci potvrdzujú (prenesený) Moorov zákon a už nás to ani neprekvapuje. Tak aspoň tootnem.
Together with other organisations we are currently blocking the Rogier metro station in Brussels as part of the ongoing #StopFossilSubsidies action.
€400 billion in subsidies was given to the fossil industry in the EU last year, which is about €1000 per EU citizen. (1/3)

Vivaldi seems to be mentioned a lot, so that's going to be the first browser I look into. What else are people here using (and happy with😉)?
There was a story that went around this week about movie studios' woes with "superfans."
A "superfan" is somebody who has attached their whole personality to hating an intellectual property they loved in their youth.

BTW, I have never heard no. People mostly even give me the email (not asking for it) as they want that picture as well.
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…
Listening to true crime cases from the 80s that "D&D Satanism scare" was some wild shit.
Was everywhere, propagated by sheriffs, detectives, unquestioning media, & the in-person equivalent of your out there Facebook relative.
Normies been fucked up about a lot of things for a long time.
Endlessly kvetching about masks is one way to do it, another way to do it is to make the NAIAD explain why so many youngsters are displaying brain changes consistent with the onset of Alzheimer's Disease.
To be clear, I'm talking about stuff like this:

Intersecting with this:
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 Christoph Derndorfer-Medosch • • •Not sure why anyone thinks #Vivaldi is better than Mozilla. Guess they have a pretty active fan club on the Fediverse.
Vivaldi is built on Chromium and free-rides off of the tracking that Google and other vendors who develop the core code in Vivaldi do. The same can be said of other vendors of course.
Worse yet, the browser isn't open source, so they aren't even as giving as Mozilla is.
Their translation service is in the cloud (Mozilla's isn't and open source).
