Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.
"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."

Then at about 16 I took my GCSEs, which are I suppose analogous to your high school diploma. Next were A-Levels, which are our version of your advance placement or International Baccalaureate before we end up specialising in a single field at college level (what we'd consider university).
Specific fields have specific requirements.
Most of them mean starting with one degree, then obtaining more whilst working in your field (trainee teachers in schools, junior doctors in health care, legal professionals in law chambers) that sort of thing.
crtainly with teaching, you're free to gain your teaching from a university of your choice. You need to have a placement for the practical work, so in essence you're limited by geography and practicality, although distance learning has changed things up quite a lot in the space.
For a great deal of jobs, the one degree, or even none, is fine. Many employers encourage you to learn as you go.
We had an apprentice join the IT helpdesk at my last worplace right after his A-levels, so he'd have been 18. and earning £6.40 an hour and doing a full workweek, with half a day set aside for his ongoing studies.
When he finishes and turns 21, his minimum wage on a full-time job hopped up to £11.44 per hour.
Not everyone gets a full time job, of course, shift work like cleaning or catering is very common.
We've been having great conversations at the Ubuntu Summit in The Hague this weekend - it's been fantastic to be with so many other open source projects, like @frameworkcomputer @ubports and of course, @ubuntu !

C is such a piece of shit language. Only language where "I need a dynamically growing array or a hashmap" is answered with "roll your own lol n_n"
EDIT: C (not C++, not Zig, not Rust) is the correct language for the job I'm doing. I am also very aware of how to implement dynamic arrays and hash tables. I have written my own stdlibs on freestanding C before. I do not actually need coaching in this matter, thank you. I also like C, sometimes, but sometimes I think it's a stupid piece of shit language, because it is

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.
Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.
How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.
Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.
I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

Hey, hi there 👋 yeah, you 🫵
It's almost Follow Friday and you seem pretty awesome 
So if I don't follow you or boost your stuff, it's probably because you don't regularly include alt-text on your pictures or videos.
You see, I have visually impaired followers, and I like the stuff I share to be accessible to them.
I also won't boost things without reasonable CWs for similar reasons—I have followers that don't want to see some of that shit, and I want to keep their Fedi feeds a safe space.
Thx! I look forward to boosting your stuff soon 💕

@kevinrj @mcourcel falls apart is putting it politely, with all the extra indicators you need. But they're different in purpose, I think. Nemeth is a specific adaptation of Braille for those versed in the subject.
UEB is a universally readable format, applicable across data types, with additions in fields that matter (like math), without losing the initial structure.
LaTeX and markdown are used for different things, y'know?

I dislike wokeness, but this makes sense to me. Imagine a person not legally classified as disabled because of bad laws, but still considering themselves as such.
To me, the question of whether you are legally considered disabled and whether you consider yourself as such are distinct, and it's worth emphasizing this distinction IMO.

I'm running Windows 11 23 H2, the September build of JAWS 2024 and NVDA 2024.4 RC1.
For years, I had successfully used version 6 of this app with JAWS with no accessibility issues. As it had been a long time since the app alerted me about any updates, I went to wordpress.com to see if newer versions were available and, as I suspected, there was a new version, that being 8.0.4. I downloaded and installed it over my older 6.0.3 installation. After installing it, I noticed that, while the JAWS virtual cursor was enabled, JAWS was not able to detect any readable text, even after maximizing the window and doing a screen refresh. The only way I could get the virtual cursor to behave in an expected way was to activate the touch cursor and click on an element with numpad enter. This would allow me to read text using the virtual cursor and everything would appear to be back to normal until I exit and restart the app, once again with no readable text. NVDA exhibits similar results.
I decided to uninstall v8.0.4 and reinstall v6.0.3. After doing this, JAWS couldn't even read any of the screens, even with the touch cursor. Has anyone seen this behavior with the Wordpress.com app and are there any possible solutions?
