One irony of letting companies like Google run their spyware through our websites for "analytics" is how useless most of the information is to small/medium website owners.

Oh, 3% of my visitors are from Poland, and 8% use Firefox? Uh, OK, great insights … I guess. 🤷‍♂️

OTOH, that information is valuable to Google, because they can aggregate it with lots of other surveillance data for digital fingerprinting, etc.

We've been duped.

Sometimes just having someone there to listen for a bit does a world of good, especially someone that's been there before. I'm also in technology-centric spaces where design/dev/ops opportunities are posted fairly regularly, so I can help keep an eye out for you.

I know first hand how transformative it is to have that kind of support and want to pay it forward.

out of curiosity do people still actively use supernova/screen reader anymore? I'd think that with the increasing popularity of nvda SN would have fallen by the wayside by now

@cachondo @pixelate Last time I used it was back in 2013, in secondary school, just before I found out about NVDA.

@TheCube @pixelate as a screen reader I think it is quite poorly managed, but as a magnification first solution there's a lot of good in there.

@TheCube @pixelate of course it does; for folk with low vision it's great ... and far more stable than franken fusion

@jstark @TheCube @pixelate I've so far never encountered anyone in the U.S. who has told me they use it but I imagine it has enough of a worldwide customer base since it's continually being updated.

Reading "A Deepness in the Sky" by Vernor Vinge. It's pretty good, but is a little over excited about the magical power of markets and trade. (He gets a little preachy on this point and it's tiresome, without ever being so wrong that I felt the need to put it down.)

Like Asimov, Vinge seems to subscribe to the notion that a science like psychohistory ought to be possible. He shows us humans thousands of years in the future with choices informed by thousands of years of human history.

@modulux

That's good to know. My joy in reading it was starting to flag a little since it has been feeling a little like Ayn Rand for smart people with souls.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

The author has written some fiction on that line and is, I think, of that persuasion. Deepness transcends that a little, for me; though maybe because of some of the interesting readings that can be made of it. Curious to talk to you about some aspects of it when you finish it.


Why do servers even receive passwords in plain text? Wouldn't it be safer to use a challenge-response mechanism for users to proof they know the password without actually submitting it to the server?

Does any service do this?

Analýza digitalizace stavebního řízení (DSŘ), kterou svět neviděl, ale kterou teď celý týden žilo české X, se objeví zde herohero.co/mahdalovaskop už zítra aktualizovaná o nejnovější data.
Tato data ukazují, že problémy s DSŘ byly pro premiéra Fialu jen zástupný důvod k vyhazovu ministra Bartoše, a tedy i Pirátů z vlády.

Tuto analýzu jsme původně připravovali pro Seznam Zprávy. Ty ji odmítly publikovat, což způsobilo nečekanou vlnu reakcí. A zdaleka nešlo jen o náš okamžitý nedobrovolný rozchod s redakcí.

Majitel Seznamu I. Lukačovič se otevřeně a vědomě pustil do politiky. A zahrál si se svým médiem “na Babiše”, když veřejně hodnotil naši nepublikovanou analýzu. Obavy pana Lukačoviče, aby se k lidem nedostala informace, že DSŘ zase tak závažný problém nepředstavuje, otevřely nové kolo otázek o budoucnosti české nezávislé žurnalistiky.

Stojíme o vaši podporu!

Pokud vy stojíte o to, aby kvalitní nezávislá žurnalistika založená na datech mohla pokračovat, predplaťte si naše analýzy. Abychom mohli popisovat skutečnost, jaká je. Ať to premiér, vlastník velkých médií nebo kdokoliv další spinuje, jak chce. Hlavní výstupy budou veřejné, další hlubší analýzy potom pro předplatitele.

Abychom mohli pokračovat, potřebujeme teď alespoň 500 předplatitelů. Není to zase tak moc. Není to vlastně tak moc. Šest lidí v okrese. Pokud jste jedním nebo jednou z nich, teď je pravý čas to ukázat. My jsme ready. Je to na nás.

A díky za sdílení!

Of course I'd make sure that money would be used for the common good, not for my personal one. Might be another path to get some funding for my common-good projects, kike the IzzyOnDroid repo 😜

When I wondered as to the possibility of a small drinks fridge in my home office, i didn't mean for the night-time temperature to drop so low my water bottle froze over.

Dass es so schwer gelingt, die Kommunikation rund um die #Energiewende positiv in die Tiefe der Gesellschaft zu tragen, ist kein Zufall. Das System der fossilen Industrie und ihrer Lobby weiß eine solche Kommunikation immer noch zuverlässig zu verhindern. Das alles beschreibt @ckemfert in ihrem unten verlinkten Artikel beim @klimareporter.
Dieses System ist ein Zahnrad-Werk aus Konzernen, davon abhängigen Unternehmen, medial präsenten Politikern sowie der Medien, die das verbreiten und die Themen besetzen, inklusive gepushter SocialMedia-Influencer. Zunehmender Populismus sorgt dafür, dass Diskussionen über Nebenkriegsschauplätze die Debatten beherrschen und so von den eigentlichen Themen ablenken. Um so wichtiger ist es, dass immer mehr Menschen diesen Spuk erkennen. Vor allem Medienschaffende und Menschen, die Karriere in politischen Parteien machen, müssen lernen, das Spiel zu durchschauen und sich verlockender Günstlingswirtschaft konsequent zu verweigern. Denn die beginnt oft schon früh, während des Studiums.

A una empresa se le pone en las narices que para que su plantilla pueda disfrutar del permiso por hospitalización tienen que probar que conviven con sus familiares.

Una chorrada como una catedral, porque a ver qué tiene que ver qué vivas con tus padres para estar a su lado durante un ingreso hospitalario.

Pues está barbaridad se aplica durante meses, denegando permisos. Y tiene que llegar a los tribunales. Con la pérdida de recursos y de tiempo que esto supone. Y, mientras tanto, a saber cuántos trabajadores se han quedado sin su permiso.

¿Y qué consecuencias tiene la empresa? Ninguna. Cero. Ahora aplica el derecho correctamente y ya. Igual algún trabajador reclama a título individual una indemnización por esos días, pero no nos engañemos, esto no suele pasar. La empresa ha ganado durante este tiempo todos los permisos que se ha evitado dar. El abogado/a lo tendrá en plantilla. La plantilla, sin embargo, tiene que depender de que haya un sindicato fuerte en la empresa y con capacidad económica de sufragar el litigio.

Esa es la realidad a día de hoy. Muchas, por no decir todas las empresas, provocan conflictos absurdos porque pueden. Porque no tiene consecuencias. Porque, en cualquier caso, ganan tiempo y en muchas ocasiones dinero. Con una Justicia lenta en la que vemos que muchos juicios se van a uno o dos años, imaginad lo que supone esto.

Y nadie va a hacer nada para cambiarlo 🤦🏼‍♀️
