Finland approved mining exploration in Sámi territory without assessing its cultural impact or gaining Sámi consent.
Sámi sisters led the case, arguing that traditional governance structures were ignored.
UN ruled Finland must amend its laws to recognize Sámi collective land rights and fully implement free, prior and informed consent.
“Sustainability is an empty word if you don’t respect and implement Indigenous rights here in our homelands.”
Näkkäläjärvi, Sámi leader.

Two recent UN committee rulings state that Finland violated the Sámi people’s rights by allowing mineral exploration without proper consultation or consent.Tristan Ahtone reports for Grist.EHN Curators (EHN)

To je inak zaujimavy "twist", ze kym volakedy bojovali v "proxy vojnach" proti sebe USA a ZSSR, tak dnes mozno toto budu robit Juzna Korea proti Severnej.
Co je zatial konzistentne/to iste je to, ze sa nadalej jedna o cca "kapitalisti vs. komunisti".

Für @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz habe ich große Sympatie.
Sie wird allerdings mehr und mehr auf die Probe gestellt.
* Die Desktop- und Android-Clients, die nach dem Update wieder mal alles neu synchronisieren möchten
* Das Deck welches dringend #UI und Funktionalitätsverbesserungen verträgt
* Die Nautilus-Desktop-Erweiterung, die für Blinde und Sehgeschädigte nahezu unbenutzbar ist und für Sehende nicht viel besser
... um nur ein paar Beispiele zu nennen.
Wären Arbeiten an den Basisfunktionalitäten nicht wichtiger als immer neue Hubs mit irgendwelchem AI-Zeugs?
Allerdings ist für mich ganz und gar nicht klar, was er nun fast zwei Stunden zu rödeln hatte. Es scheint nicht so zu sein, dass die fälschlicherweise heruntergeladenen Datein wieder gelöscht worden sind. Jedenfalls sehe ich noch ne Menge und muss mich jetzt durch tausende Dateien quälen..
In my youth I did creative things such as this "embedded Linux contest" (from 2012)
Try it out! It's not easy.

Hi there,

The citty is also a center of blind life in east Germany, so 3 of our blind organizations decided to organize a long weekend from 29th of Ma'y to 1st of June for blind Europeans to explore our citty together. You can find more infos here:

I have a question for people who work in accessibility and design:
Can anyone recommend evidence-based sources on how well Comic Sans does or doesn't work for people with dyslexia?
- I don't need anecdotes, opinions, or big feelings about fonts.
- I'm just looking for evidence-based studies.
I've seen strong, contradictory opinions & a lot of received wisdom about this. That's why I'm looking for actual evidence either way. Thank you!
Related question: I'm familiar with Atkinson Hyperlegible. the Braille Institute Free Font (link at the bottom.
If accessibility-oriented fonts make a difference for you as a reader (for dyslexia, low vision, visual processing, or any other reason), I would love to know what accessible fonts you personally like best and why.
*This is question for people who rely on accessible fonts only. No replies from others, please. Thank you!
