5 Problems on Your Computer That Might be Caused by Malware howtogeek.com/problems-on-your…





Spotted on a Tuesday in small city Aotearoa #newzealand

A woman with an artfully messy topknot (60s) returning library books with a friend. She says loudly, "Did you know there's a huge seniors swinger community here?"
Her friend laughs, "Yeah. EVERYONE knows that!"
She huffs, "I didn't!"

Two men in hi vis vests striding into a supermarket. The older (60s?) says to the younger (early 20s?) "You can't go wrong with croissants, mate. Women are always impressed if they come over and see a croissant. They're like MAGIC."

A stocky man in a Grateful Dead T-shirt (70s?) enters a cafe and announces: "I know it's not my usual day, but I really need that coffee."
The barista who's just greeted him by name makes his regular.

A woman (40s) pausing at a crosswalk leading to a diverse bunch of locals meeting in support of the Hīkoi mo te Tiriti in Wellington. She grins as she comments on the size of crowd only for her teen daughter to gently but firmly hustle her forward. The vibe is community.

A beaming man (50s) walking down the street talking on his phone: "Mum, Taylor passed his maths exam. I didn't think he'd do it but he did. I'm so bloody proud of him, eh."

Any typos in this post are highly amused after overhearing in the cookbook section of a library that there's not only one but two active senior swinger communities in this rather small Kiwi city who are apparently warring with each other. If spotted please impress typos with a croissant.



I am doing a bit of a farewell tour at the moment. All the meetings I am attending are my last for various Boards I am on and groups I have been a part of. People have been very kind, and at the meeting I just finished, I got given the most massive box of chocolates I’ve ever had in my life!
Tomorrow, I am doing my exit interview on RNZ’s Nine to Noon. I’ll be talking about my new role in the USA and the technological challenges and opportunities blind people face, and reflecting on why New Zealand is such a difficult country to be a blind person or otherwise disabled. One of the benefits of being on the way out is that I can speak my truth, and believe me, I intend doing exactly that.
Times are subject to change but at this stage it is the first item, right after the 9 AM news on Wednesday.

Jonathan, that chocolate is so bad for you. All those carbs and that sugar ... look, I'm here to help, as you know, so to avoid eating those horrible chocolates you can send me that box. I'm only thinking of your health, you know ...

Can someone remind me where to find any deep dive into the Monarch? I might be seeing one soon and want to have a good idea what I'm doing with it.


I've read that the new Mac Mini has the power button on the bottom of the device, forcing the user to slightly lift the Mac in order to turn it on. Is this true and does this design flaw bother those of you who are Mac Mini owners?
in reply to David Goldfield

i am nowt yet an owner, but i like the idea, it provents accidentle oopsys?
in reply to David Goldfield

Not purchasing new MacMini just yet, still have another year with my 2018. But if this is true, I’ll have to think long and hard about it. I do not like the thought of the power button being on the bottom.


@MarkTh213 Thank you for the follow. I've been a #DoctorWho fan for nearly 40 years, including the novels and audio dramas. I also am a supporter of Israel.


people talk about “the media” and “journalists” and they picture the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or cable news.

and sure, “the media” is the Big Five. but it’s also non-profit newsrooms, independent journalists, international and/or non-US publications, worker-owned media collectives, bloggers, local newsrooms, citizen journalists, podcasters, critics, community radio stations, documentary filmmakers, trade publications, freelancers, fact checkers...

One of the problems with social media is that we feel that if we post, tweet, boost, or retweet lots of strongly-worded messages and articles, it makes us warriors for our causes. Realistically, you're probably being read by people who agree with you, especially if your account is protected. We call that preaching to the choir. If you want to be a warrior, you have to get out there somehow, and fight. You can't be a warrior cocooned in your comfort zone. This is why I make a lousy warrior.
in reply to Bruce Toews

Ah, but if you're willing to post on topics to those who disagree with you I'd say you're venturing into warrior territory, even if all you're able to do is to post behind a keyboard. Just as an example, if you're considered politically conservative, a traditional Christian who holds opinions and has beliefs based on traditional Christian teaching, posting your opinions about such topics on a platform like Mastodon will most certainly cause division.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield And is causing division what a warrior is after? If you believe in free ketchup for all, and you proclaim your message to people, 99% of whom are in your camp already, and the other 1% are just up for an argument, what have you done, in Heinzsight, for your cause?
in reply to Bruce Toews

That's a fair question. I don't believe that division should be our goal but it will often be a consequence while we try and achieve that goal. It reminds me of the words of our Lord in Luke 12.
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

This type of division is going to happen when we do our Lord's will and speak out against the culture.

My problem is I have Apple password manager, Microsoft authenticator, and a little bit on Google authenticator! Now how do I consolidate those 200+ into one password manager that works across devices! I’m guessing it’s just time that I need to spend

One day, I will take one of these, "We miss you" emails from companies and show up to their office saying: "Okay, I'm here, let's hang out." It will be gloriously awkward.

If reporting the 401 error is indeed what made them suspicious, I think there might even be another issue at play here, which is... surely a blind person wouldn't be using the browser developer tools to debug something like this? Surely not. They mustn't be blind if they're doing that. Perish the thought.

I'm used to mentally substituting Mastodon for fedi in my head, and usually this is good, but I'm noticing I am surprised or dismissive of much criticism of Mastodon because it doesn't apply to GTS, which is my instance software. For example the reply fetch issue has been solved, so when people say Mastodon has the issue people can't see all the replies, I do my unconscious mastodon=>fedi substitution and say, "but it can?" Only then, I realise this is still a problem for a lot of users.


DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg News reports

in reply to Hubert Figuière

Good because it will force Google to follow some standards, bad because the new owner will make it even worse.


I don't know which team he's on, but I'm definitely backing him 😄

@dhamlinmusic Could be right - and I just responded to another one - but you never know - last time we thought that, the user replied and apologised. I can appreciate it is an honest issue - but at the same time, I doubt anyone actually looks at the #NVDA hashtag for stock market info, given 90% of posts using the hashtag are about hte screen reader - so if we can convince them, it's worth having the premade text on standby :)

NVDA hat mehrere Add-Ons, die dies tun! Suchen Sie im NVDA-Add-On-Store nach „Bild“, „Beschreiben“ usw. (drücken Sie NVDA+n, dann t, dann a, um zum Add-On-Store zu gelangen, und drücken Sie dann einmal Umschalt+Tab, um zur Suchbearbeitung zu gelangen).
