Brits complaining that they can't engage in protests "against Israel" for one whole weekend after a synagogue was attacked and Jews were killed on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
These protests usually contain calls for violence, antisemitic tropes, antisemitic rhetoric, and many times "just happen" to be outside of Jewish schools, synagogues, inside secluded Jewish neighbourhoods or even Jewish restaurants- never outside the Israeli embassy.
@hub ahaha, thanks for that! I was going to go digging but didn't have time at the moment
the last things I found were that they were supposed to build a test track in Droux that hasn't happened yet, and they created a 1/3 scale demonstrator that didn't work 😅
@somecanuckchick in that case we observe the level of incompetence. Instead of building something that is known to work, they want to build something that is not known to work.
@hub Whenever I hear/read someone working for exposure... I am reminded that exposure is a CAUSE OF DEATH, at least where I grew up in Ontari-ari--ari-o. @shadowspar

Time to honour the "Islamophobia Awareness Month". As the UK launches this smart initiative, here is a compilation of Islam-related jokes. Are you aware yet?...
Indeed it is easy to see that an odd-dimensional sphere admits a non-vanishing tangent vector field through a simple process of considering coordinates of the ambient even-dimensional Euclidean space.
Today we merged a new feature in curl: support for Apple SecTrust. This will become available in curl 8.17.0, due to be released on the 5th of November 2025.
tl;dr - I made a tool to look up WCAG SCs and copy the links. As anyone who has spent more than 30 minutes with me where the conversation might veer towards anything technical, I am an über-bore where it comes to the Mac app Keyboard Maestro (KM).
We've spent days in hospital and the poor wife's had a lot of things going on, but not the things she wants to have going on. Baby is still firmly ensconced.
The house is coming together well though. The first of the sofas appeared yesterday, we put the curtains up this morning and the carpets are all down and lovely underfoot. The window sills have all been painted and varnished, the French doors are sealed and watertight (a good thing with a storm blowing in), and I've just finished re-seating all the electrical wall outlets and light switches now the paint's all dry.
The baby's changing unit remains to be assembled, but the crib and car seat are ready. We just need a baby now. Daily CTG's are strong. Baby's moving well internally. Things just, have yet to go pop!
is it normal in the UK for her to be in hospital this early? Here they won't admit in most cases until contractions are more than like 8 an hour lasting a minute or more, or water has broken, or dialated above like 5cm.
@dhamlinmusic not typical, but they wanted to induce labour early due to diabetes. They tried, but before we got to the water-breaking stage there was a mad influx of emergency sections (they've had over 500 deliveries in September). On our second morning there they had 14 cases booked to come in for induction, and 10 of their 10 beds were already full from previous inductees who hadn't moved on. We've just had the call up now to go in for the Amniotomy in a few hours.
Strange enough, #English is not my mother tongue, but there are words I appreciate, some of them are used quite seldom: "hence", "thrice", "aftermorrow".
Ого, последнее я вообще впервые слышу. А hence это вроде для конструирования всяких навороченных оборотов, причём кажется в письменной речи. Впрочем моего уровня точно не хватит для подобных самовыражений, потому голову не забиваю.
"thrice" догадывался, но не был уверен, в ассоциативном массиве нашлось "twice", хотел проверить, но ты опередил. Есть ещё "quintuple" кстати, в своё время услышал от североамериканских хоккейных комментаторов. Тоже наверное не самое часто встречающееся слово.

I haven't exactly been having fun there- today's "CEO inviting transphobia" news doesn't help.
I was there to make connections but honestly it's increasingly just becoming noise. I remain convinced that real decentralization is better (warts and all).
If you work in accessibility or are responsible for compliance at your organization, you’ve probably heard about WCAG 3.0. The W3C has been developing it for years, and the most recent Working Draft was released in September 2025.
@atpfm When/if you discuss Apple’s newest cozying up to Trump by removing the ICE tracking apps from the App Store, don’t forget this wasn’t the first time. They did exactly the same in Hong Kong, with HKMap.live.

I'm seeing a number of posts about folk thinking of leaving #AndroidDev due to Googles policy changes.
For clarity I left the #Android world this year, and largely for those reasons.
I bought a T-Mobile G1 on the first day. I've built SDKs and firmware for Android, I have commits in the AOSP. I built (and sold) an app store in the early days. I also worked on the Android team at Google for a while.
Android, to me, is now a Google product. Not the open platform it was.
Encountered my first elevator wit a digital queueing system. You press an accessibility button on a touchscreen, then hear all the floor numbers from highest to lowest read back to you. Once it mentions the floor you want to go to, you press the accessibility button again, hoping that while searching for the accessibility button, you don't touch the screen, because it triggers a floor call randomly to the floor you touched on the screen. Back to hearing all the floor numbers again. The floors are read out very slowly, about 1,5 seconds per floor. If you miss your number, you need to start again. I wanted to go to floor 2 in a 15 floor building. I encountered a lot of annoyed people who were waiting behind me to also call the lift. The spoken prompts were translated wrong to Estonian, so it was hard to understand what they actually meant. THe narrator spoke extremelly slowly and with a tone you'd use with a child, who has drawn on a wall with crayons, for the 5th time. Slowly, patronisingly. Hugely embarrassing experience.
Yes all that. I'm surprised they read out highest to lowest, all the ones I have used go from lowest to highest. Also in your office do you have multiple touchscreens? In the ones I have used there have been plenty of screens available for others to choose the floor. People still try and help though and will sometimes cancel it by touching the screen so I have to try and cover up the screen so it is less likely to happen.
Tak pěknou cestu. Já budu v práci tak do pěti, potom nákup a nějaké osobní věci a domů se dostanu tak po sedmé, když dobře. Proto jsem se ani neregistroval, protože jet ještě do Prahy už bych nedal. Užijte si to a pozdravuj.

O Governo prepara-se para anunciar Manuel Dias, ex-Microsoft, como responsável máximo pela estratégia tecnológica do Estado, num cargo que será acumulado com a presidência da recém-criada Agência para a Reforma Tecnológica do Estado (ARTE).
Awww. Hugs, for you! If you want them of course. I am working, that's neutral. Haha. Positive, I don't have to go out because it's raining. Full blown on relaxing weekend! Woo! :D Here for you if you need someone to listen to you. :)
@tardis Thank you I appreciate the hugs. Like I said I can’t really say much it’s just been a struggle some couple of days and I am hoping things will improve
@tardis I was forced to learn how to do a full face of make up by the time I was eight years old so I wasn’t allowed to leave the house if I didn’t have a full face of makeup on. And I mean a full face. Foundation, lipstick, concealer, Eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow… The whole works. My mom was a little bit obsessed with how I looked or presented. So I had to be the eight-year-old with makeup on because apparently my face was unacceptable if there wasn’t something covering it
Okay, no offence to your mom, but that's awful! It will not be good for the skin, especially if so young back then. Mine never made me do anything like that. But hey, there's a good side, you are one of the few blind people who I know can apply makeup. You are beautiful and you, just the way you are though, and should never forget that. Coming to you from a random person from another country, but yeah.
@tardis Please feel free to offence to my mom all day long. My mom is something else. She’s worked on her herself over the years but yeah she’s… She’s something else.
Honestly mine too, but she's worked on stuff and I just love the family so I give them all a chance and they haven't disappointed till now, not in a big way at least like in the past, so getting closer to them has been helping me to heal my trust in humans. :)
