I called EMS once and police showed up before paramedics (paramedics were busy).
The first thing they said? “You don’t look sick.”
They waited for paramedics who took me to hospital - but that initial response stuck with me.
It’s why mask bans are dangerous. Police aren’t trained to make medical decisions. They shouldn’t be the ones deciding who can and can’t legally wear a mask.
Many illnesses are invisible - you wouldn’t KNOW we’re disabled to look at us.
Most of us have experienced gaslighting from friends, family and even doctors - people are quick to judge and decide you’re “not that sick.”
So are we really expected to risk criminal charges by wearing a respirator & just HOPE police will believe we truly “need it”?
Not to mention that medical exemptions leave behind anyone who wants to mask to protect and preserve their health - as well as caregivers and family of disabled people.
We rely on them to keep us safe - we NEED them masking in public.
I sincerely hope more people join the fight against mask bans soon - because if we don’t fight against them - more cities and states will pass them and more people will suffer.
A good respirator is excellent protection against covid & other illnesses.
We shouldn’t be further excluding disabled and high risk people from public - but that’s exactly what these ugly laws do.
Call your elected officials - tell them medical masks can not and should not be banned.
Don’t embrace escalating fascism and eugenics just because you don’t think it will impact you.
Don’t celebrate it because you hold a grudge about mask mandates.
It won’t stop with disabled people. Help us now & your future self will thank you.

I was trash talking advertising and while searching for a reference to something I vaguely remembered I found this discussion of a result showing the more advertising a society is exposed to the unhappier people are.
hbr.org/2020/01/advertising-ma…
"The University of Warwick’s Andrew Oswald and his team compared survey data on the life satisfaction of more than 900,000 citizens of 27 European countries from 1980 to 2011 with data on annual advertising spending in those nations over the same period. The researchers found an inverse connection between the two. The higher a country’s ad spend was in one year, the less satisfied its citizens were a year or two later. Their conclusion: Advertising makes us unhappy."

In other news: The #music industry continues its heroic quest to truly and thoroughly fuck everyone.
"In seinem Neujahrswort 1990 spricht der Thüringer Landesbischof Werner Leich davon, dass der lange "Weg in die Freiheit nur in Versöhnung und Gewaltlosigkeit" gelingen könne. Dafür hatten viele keine Geduld. Der schnellen deutschen Einheit folgte die sehr feste geschwisterliche Umarmung. Der gerade erst so hoffnungsvoll begonnene breite Dialog, die Kernforderung des Neuen Forums, war zu Ende, bevor er begonnen hatte. Damals mahnten Stimmen die Aufarbeitung der gemeinsamen Geschichte an, vor allem der vor 1945. Doch das Gespräch zwischen Ost und West gestaltete sich schwierig. Gesellschaft und Kirchenvolk im Osten hatten das Gefühl, bei der Gestaltung der Einheit von Staat und Kirche nicht auf Augenhöhe mitreden zu können."

'Fietsers nemen weinig ruimte in beslag, ze vervuilen niet en fietsen is gezond. Wat is er dan mooier voor een stad, dan het aantal fietsers te zien groeien? Maar daar moet je de stad wel op inrichten. Want -vooral in de ochtendspits – is het héél druk op de fietspaden.
Welke straat kan een fietsstraat worden?'

It's concise and comprehensive. Check it out!

I decided not to risk it and take the bus. Said bus took a wrong route, forcing me to run 500m in two minutes to catch my train. And *that* train is full due to reduced service, meaning I'll stand for the next 40 minutes next to a lady playing loud Schlager for all of us whether we want it or not.
Public transport is the *true* Köln Marathon.

It seems time again to remind everyone not to use ARIA `menu` roles for web site navigation:

From a technical perspective, there is no such thing as “dropdowns”:

That imprecise terminology leads to more miscommunication between sales folks, designers, and devs than is necessary. Then weird stuff gets built from scratch instead of leaning on existing patterns.
You should dismiss articles that conflate the two.
I don’t think most people realize how Firefox and Safari depend on Google for more than “just” revenue from default search engine deals and prototyping new web platform features.
Off the top of my head, Safari and Firefox use the following Chromium libraries: libwebrtc, libbrotli, libvpx, libwebp, some color management libraries, libjxl (Chromium may eventually contribute a Rust JPEG-XL implementation to Firefox; it’s a hard image format to implement!), much of Safari’s cryptography (from BoringSSL), Firefox’s 2D renderer (Skia)…the list goes on. Much of Firefox’s security overhaul in recent years (process isolation, site isolation, user namespace sandboxes, effort on building with ControlFlowIntegrity) is directly inspired by Chromium’s architecture.
Interdependence for independent components can be mutually beneficial. For something to be part of Chromium, it needs to build and test with a battery of sanitizers and receive continuous fuzzing. Mozilla and Safari do something similar. All benefit from libraries getting patched to meet each others’ security requirements. Without Google, Mozilla and Apple must assume responsibility to maintain these libraries to a browser-grade standard.
I see many advocates for Chromium alternatives say the Web would be better without Chromium. That may be true, but Chromium alternatives may also be worse.
For completeness: Firefox and Safari’s influence on Chromium in recent years includes the addition of memory-safe languages, partitioned site storage, declarative content blocking (from Safari), and a vague multi-year repeatedly-delayed intent to phase out third-party cookies. Chromium would be no better off without other browser projects.

Hledám pro matku práci. Má základní vzdělání a s počítačem neumí. Celý život dělala uklízečku. Na současnou práci už nestačí, protože jí z tahání těžkých věci bolí páteř. Ideální lokalita Hlučín, Moravská Ostrava. Na plný úvazek.

Am I misunderstanding something or does this article indicate that adding menu/menuitem roles somehow ensure keyboard operability of dropdown menus? (They don’t.) The use of <ul>/<li> elements is also superfluous as the added roles mean it could be just <div>s. Not a bad practice, but the article seems to indicate using a list is somehow helpful to AT users. (It isn’t.) I’d also recommend the aria-haspopup=menu (although equivalent to true, it’s more specific).
