As a blind or low vision high school student, you might think that preparing for college is something you can wait until later to do. But trust me, starting early makes all the difference.
Bummer. Last week our OpenTechFund contract was not signed but suspended along with OTF itself. Shit happening overseas.
However, we wouldn't deliver resilient messaging infrastructure and apps if we weren't a resilient and fun community. We never had much money to begin with, and are graced with great pro-bono contributions.
We are now looking for other public funding but it takes time. Meanwhile it'd be great to get intermittent help via a wealthy donor or small tips delta.chat/en/donate

The enterprise formerly known as Twitter is now understood by all to be in the service of right-wing authoritarianism in the United States and around the globe.
There is an uprising against Tesla, which is just a car company. Where is the uprising against X? How can any nonmalicious nonprofit or state or city organization continue to use it for its messaging? Or anyone else.
@mush42 It's just a witty video. You can also find similar statements from Penn Jillette or Richard Dawkins and others. In every case you'll find things to disagree on with the person who said it. That's actually okay. This is what we celebrate. Atheists aren't a uniform group and atheism doesn't unite us. It's okay to be atheist even if you don't like Maher, Dawkins, Hitchens, or Jillette. They're not religious figures. They have no monopoly over the absence of belief in deities.
@Friendica Support Die folgende #Frage hatte ich schon einmal gestellt, sie aber irrtümlich wieder gelöscht:
Ich habe mir einen zusätzlichen #Circle eingerichtet, den ich nur als #Feedreader nutzen will. #Feeds, die dort landen, werden jedoch nicht in diesem Circle angezeigt, sondern unter "Alle Kontakte bzw. Kontakte". Was muss ich tun, um die Feeds nur in diesem neuen Circle anzuzueigen und den Rest unter "Alle Kontakte"?
@Gerhard Hallstein aktivier mal im Profil der Feeds unter "Kanal Einstellungen" --- "Ausschließlich Kanäle" dann sollten die Beiträge der Feeds nur noch in Kanälen und Circles erscheinen. Vielleicht löst das dein Problem.

Mám rád Matrix, přijde mi jako dobrý kompromis mezi funkčností a soukromím. Ale je pravda, že identita a metadata tam prostě nějaká jsou. Hlavní výhoda je pro mě větší komunita – mám s kým psát, spousta projektů tam komunikuje a celkově je to víc živé.
Ona i Threema je super, ale pro běžné uživatele to moc není. No, ale to Matrix úplně taky ne.
Another Harry Potter #fanfic I enjoyed. Contains LGBTQIA2S+ representation. SNAKES ARE VERY NICE by Oulixeus: "At four years old, Harry decides that he would like to be a snake when he grows up. A story following Harry as he wills himself to become more and more serpentine - to the discomfort, bafflement, and horror of everyone around him." archiveofourown.org/works/35855626#harrypotter#hp#fanfiction
A few years ago, I wrote a web audio game based on an old Eureka A4 game called Aliens. The original version was purely audio. I just added some visualisation to see whether it would be potentially more engaging (and easier to learn) for sighted folks. Given that I'm totally blind and not particularly adept with CSS, the visualisation is kinda crappy, but I got my kids to help me check that it at least works. I haven't had anyone with sight test it on mobile, so it's likely completely broken there and thus I'd recommend desktop for now. Anyway, here it is if anyone's interested: files.jantrid.net/aliens/
@KaraLG84 Haha. They don't kill you though. If you miss them, you just miss out on bonus points. They can confuse you though when there are a lot of other things happening.
@KaraLG84 The original game had a slightly different sound for commanders. I might need to do something like that here, though I'm not sure it'd make things easier, just more interesting. What do you think?
E&P - The Voice of America is facing an unprecedented crisis. Journalists have been cut off from their newsrooms—emails shut down, phones disconnected, and no way to reach editors—leaving many in a state of uncertainty. VOA’s chief national correspondent, Steve Herman, finds himself among more than 1,300 colleagues placed on excused absence. editorandpublisher.com/stories…
Here’s a way to support those losing their jobs at VOA, RFE/RL, RFA and other international broadcasting entities under USAGM. secure.givelively.org/donate/u…
on the broadcast I was listening to, this news was quickly followed up with Poillievre talking about creating jobs for working people and how he was going for the union vote.
Both of these parties are corporate apologists.
Yet Ontario, the land of the manufacturer, refuses to vote for the left leaning, worker party in the NDP.
and now he's the centrist prime minister of an investor state with locked-in neoliberal economic policy. Totally different jobs. And I'll "crap on him" as much as I please according to my right of freedom of expression.
let’s at least agree to agree that Poillievre cannot be allowed to win and we all must do everything in our power to make that happen, whether that means voting Liberal or NDP, Bloc or Green. Whatever works to deny him.
Surely we can all do that while advocating strongly for the party we believe in and holding other parties and leaders to account.

"Let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt - it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege." #fascism #USA #Canada #cdnpoli
The other person's name doesn't matter. Their platform doesn't matter.
So resist the very human urge to talk about that person and why they are bad.
Because name recognition affects judge elections more than you think. A lot of people are just going to vote for whichever name they've heard most. 🤷🏿♂️
Elon is dumping in millions to make sure that as many people have heard that other name as possible.
You can't fight that by also saying that other name.

Zdá se, že pivní zahrádce se na našem okraji Zahradního města daří. Expandovala na vedlejší pidi-pozemek. Je fajn mít něco takového na panelákovým sídlišti. 👍 #Praha
