U.K. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis joins a growing list of religious leaders and academics refusing to attend the Israeli summit on antisemitism.

The reason is that the Israelis have invited a whole list of far right populist politicians with a history of antisemitism. To an antisemitism summit.

This is Israel now. Compromised.

This Global #Recycling Day, let’s talk about our favorite way to reduce waste: repair!
Recycling is inefficient, complex, and time consuming. It should be the very last step in a long line of alternatives. While Reduce and Reuse are the best options, we think the missing R is Repair.
Here's why: ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair/Rec…

Haven't seen this widely talked about beyond the Ableton Access mailing list but having just tried this for myself this needs more recognition. For any Live users, we have what I think might be the first fully accessible Max4Live device, and it's a very useful one at that because it's a audio meter, which supports reading both true peaks and all of the Lufs values, either in realtime or by processing a file. It also supports normalising files, and after you turn it on the hotkeys are global so you can keep checking the levels IE wile you mix. The developer is also intending to release the libraries he developped that aid in communicating with screen readers which will no doubt be very helpful in making future Max4Live devices more accessible. youtube.com/watch?v=jGE4zHv-1k…

@ZBennoui Great, gonna bookmark this for future advocacy efforts :) In general there are still some M4L widgets that need to be made accessible for general users, like buttons, if those are even a thing - I haven't looked at the developer documentation. For example the new expressive chords device that was just released should have a button to import the selected clip as a set of chords but you can't find it with a screen reader, and I think that's more important to do first.

Well, as long as the GNU-slash-IMP folks are mad at me, I should go for broke and irritate everyone. Someone's got to be debbie downer and I guess today it's me.

Does @gnome support the use of a slur for a project they're hosting? Because from where I sit, they appear to, and I feel like hosting this project might be a violation of their CoC.

fwiw GNU Imp isn't a GNOME project per se. It uses our infra, but it's not part of GNOME and doesn't follow GNOME's release processes or project governance. It's in the GNOME/ namespace on GitLab for historical reasons.

It was previously on the old GNOME CGit alongside many other third party apps, and for a time all apps that were there were put into the GNOME/ namespace. For a few years some newer third party apps got moved into that namespace, but nowadays we keep it to things that are official. Old projects remain due to the hassle of transferring namespaces.

I'm not fond of the name at all personally - I was the one who opened the rebranding issue years ago that lead to the Glimpse fork.

Рибосома связывается с молекулой мРНК и последовательно считывает её нуклеотидные триплеты — кодоны, каждый из которых кодирует определённую аминокислоту. Специальные транспортные РНК (тРНК) приносят соответствующие аминокислоты к рибосоме, ориентируясь по антикодонам, комплементарным кодонам мРНК. Рибосома соединяет аминокислоты в растущую полипептидную цепь, пока не встретит стоп-кодон, завершающий синтез белка.

Have made my first ever experience with the package pickup stations of the Austrian post last weekend. They have been made accessible to the blind. The procedure is as follows: 1. You receive a physical notification about a package being dropped off at a station in your mailbox. 2. The notification has one of its corners cut off to make a tactile difference. This way you can tell where the code you need to scan is located. 3. You go to the pickup station. The tactile flooring inside will guide you to the stations. 4. You touch anywhere on the touch screen of the station. 5. You touch again, this time the area above a circle shape that can be touched on a strip below the screen itself. 6. The voice guide is activated and issues further instructions. 7. You place the code on your notification in front of the reader. 8. Assuming it has been scanned correctly, you proceed to signing the delivery confirmation on the touch screen. How you can do it without seeing the screen is still a mystery to me but I guess anything you draw is accepted by the system. 9. The locker opens and makes a ticking sound until you find it, remove your package and shut the door. I still find the way of opening it with a mobile app that some providers in other countries offer far easier but it's great those are ready for use even if you don't want or can't use a smartphone. #Accessibility #Blind

Let‘s Encrypt describing their ACME profiles in detail:

‚classic‘: 90 days, all as before
‚tlsserver‘: 90 days, smaller certs, cut lean for its server role and modern clients
‚shortlived‘: ~6 days, otherwise like ‚tlsserver‘

If you have no idea what the mentioned TLS extensions are about, do *not* configure a profile. But if you do, use classic.

If you have a rough idea and serve modern clients, tlsserver cuts some bytes and the auth process is tighter.

letsencrypt.org/docs/profiles/


Profiles

A profile is a collection of characteristics that describe both the validation process required to get a certificate, and the final contents of that certificate.
