When will Republicans come to the table about gun violence?

Championing inclusive language

Championing inclusive language - TetraLogical

Language reflects culture. It shapes how people perceive themselves and one another; whether they belong, whether they’re valued, and whether the space is designed with them in mind. Inclusive language isn’t just polite; it’s powerful.

Education Dept. Halts Funds to Programs for Deafblind Students Over DEI Concerns

Citing concerns about DEI, the U.S. Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?”

Dang folks, I mean what?
Basically I see 3 audio games shut down within well, as for sbyw, let's say about 1.5 years. And most of these shutdowns are just so uncalled for, though with the stw one I sympathise most.
Now the city of devision one though? Check out their discord and shit I tell you it's ridiculous. Sell a broken audio fps for fuckin' 1500 dollars. What????
Not even sbyw which is by far the greatest of those titles in my humble opinion would be worth 1.5k. O, and out of a sudden, yeah let's sell last shot too now! Maybe it's cuz they suddenly need to pay their apartments and blindy stupitity is the way to get that income from.
I'm speechless.

Das Amtsgericht betonte, bei der Aktion seien lediglich bestehende Schmierereien übermalt worden. Um Sachbeschädigung handele es sich nicht, weil sich das Erscheinungsbild des Hauses nicht "im rechtsgutsspezifischen Sinne" verändert habe.

News/death
The Charlie Kirk shooting is going to overshadow Russia’s drone incursion in Poland. Makes me a bit sad. That's huge news. Huge. Changes a lot with the war in Ukraine and what's going to happen. I'm not sure. I'm worried.
Wow. At the time, it was a shooting. Now, it's a death. How horrible. What a horrible day. I don't care whether he was a conservative. By all accounts this man felt like a decent debater from what I heard, even if his ideas were divisive to some, that's no reason to go around killing him. Jeesh, people lost all care and empathy today, they just think, "oh, this guy says hateful stuff, he deserves to die!" Well nobody does. Life is a treasure and any shooting without self-defense justifications is senseless. Gosh. So distracted from work stuff, must get back to it for another hour.

Gosh darn it I'm really debating on whether I will regret having gone with Jet Black Watch series 10. But then again, Jet Black is more than just a visual thing, it's also very tactile with how smooth it feels and more premium. The sides of the watch feel just as the glass does. Then again, it's a fingerprint magnet. Along with micro-scratches and scuffs, which does worry me. Hmm. What a 3rd-world problem, gosh. I hate it.

@alexhall So revolutionary! What I find funny is, until now, I never understood why Apple used the polycarbonate, smooth shiny plastic on their older Macbooks. Like the first ones. Powerbooks too I think maybe. Now I do. At the time to me it felt like, "oh, this is too glossy, it's just being premium for premium's sake, bah who wants that." But now with the watch I find it funny that this opinion for me has changed, not sure. Very interesting. Perhaps even then they were just trying to make the computer be as glossy as the screen is.

@ppatel @alexhall ah yeah, those are titanium though I thought? Another beast entirely :) Far more durable probably. Jet Black was an aluminum-only finish introduced with the Apple Watch Series 10, not sure if they're now extending it to Ultra 3 (probably?). It doesn't really change what can scratch the aluminum itself, but because it's smooth and glossy smaller micro-scratches especially under light will be visible to sighted folks. From what I've also read though it's not as though the material types that scratch it really changes, hardness on it remains quite the same as any other s10 color type. So not sure. I got a vinyl glossy protector for it, a bumper case for a watch (for me) would turn it into a toy-feeling thing, since those had these chunky plastic bezels, so perhaps a vinyl skin works better.

By subverting the voluntary nature of open standards, Apple has defanged them as tools that users might use against the totalising power of native apps in their digital lives.

It's that time of year again: time to support @owa's call to end secret vetoes of Interop proposals. Web developers should at least know *who* is pushing cuts to the web's most effective "TODO" list, if not why. Show your support (politely) here:

well I tried to use Orion browser again as my default and while I love so many things it does, it has such weird WEIRD bugs

Like suddenly you can't click into and activate any text input areas, copy+paste shortcuts even in the browser address bar don't work and provides that "ding" noise MacOS emits when there's some invalid input
