Cool, cool. Die Bahn hat ein Feature in den DB Navigator getan, das längst überfällig war: Kostenlose Sitzplatzreservierungen für Behinderte im Fernverkehr.

Konnte man vorher schon bei der Mobilitätsservicezentrale oder im Reisezentrum bekommen, aber jetzt auch direkt bei der Buchung. Man kann dann auch den Comfort-CheckIn benutzen.

Gute Sache. Aaaaaaber…

in reply to Casey

Wie so oft wenn die Bahn irgendwas mit Barrierefreiheit macht, hat irgendjemand nur bis zur Hälfte darüber nachgedacht. Man muss die begleitende Assistenz jetzt schon mit Namen bei der Ticketbuchung angeben — das erschwert jede Planung massiv wenn man mehrere (auch berufliche) Assistenzen hat, die Personen nur eine Teilstrecke mitfahren/abwechseln müssen, etc.

Was vorher einfach flexibel ging, wurde jetzt in ein System festgegossen, in dem es wahrscheinlich nicht mehr reparierbar ist.

Es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder: Mit der neuen Version 25.22 des DB Navigator ist es jetzt möglich, als Person mit Schwerbehindertenausweis und Merkzeichen B in der App selbst kostenlose Reservierungen für sich und seine Begleitperson zu buchen.
Somit ist auch der Komfort-Check-In möglich. Gilt aber leider nicht für Rollstuhlfahrer*innen.

Unter Reisenden die zusätzliche Ermäßigung setzen : Schwerbehinderte (mit B) keine Rollstuhlstellplatz.
2. Reisenden ( mit X) Jahre - keine Ermäßigung. bahn.de/service/individuelle-r… #bahn

Someone invoked #curl on Windows powershell, saw a problem and reported it to us.

Yes. It was the dreaded alias. Again. Not a problem in "the real curl". I tried to get rid of this sorry thing, remember?

#curl

What kind of idiot would alias to a command that doesn't support the same argument syntax as the alias name??

Oh dang, i now see this is Microsoft we're dealing with.. Okay in their defence they're REALLY bad at computer, nobody in the company ever took a comp sci course, so it isn't their fault.

And their users are equally dumb if using windows for big boy / big girl tasks. It's fine to ignore them when their curl alias "got broke", nothing can save them. Let them have the alias.

Helping a friend with a buying decision, and remembered something that works for me when there are multiple options in the same category and you can't decide between them.

* Make a list of candidates.
* Roll some dice to pick a candidate at random.
* Investigate your feelings about the dice results. Are you happy the dice picked "the right one"? Or are you disappointed? If you are disappointed, strike that candidate from the list and roll again.

Hey @NVAccess. Are you aware the NVDA expert certification website appears to be down? Or has it moved? My browser throws the following message at me when I try to visit it.
Looks like there’s a problem with this site
certification.nvaccess.org/ might have a temporary problem or it could have moved.

I must be old. I really don't understand emoji reactions. If I say "I'm on the bus and will be there in half an hour" to the group message, why do five people need to react with the bus emoji? A thumbs up or a heart or a smile I get. It communicates some sort of information. You like it, or you're happy, or whatever. But all reacting "bus" communicates is that...the word bus was in the original message, and you recognized it! Yes! Good for you! You recognized the word bus! Do you want a cookie or something?

Menschen sagen:
"KI [genauer "große Sprachmodelle / Large Languange Models, LLMs"] ist wie ein plappernder Papagei, der Worte nach Wahrscheinlichkeit aneinander gereiht ausgibt."

Die gleichen [nicht zwingend die selben] Menschen nutzen mit der "Autokorrektur" in ihren "smarten Phönern" ein Werkzeug, das auch nur Wortvorschläge nach Wahrscheinlichkeit aneinander gereiht ausgibt und achten dann beim Absenden (zB in SocialMedia-Beiträgen) nicht mal darauf, dass in ihren Texten teilweise falsche, nicht in den jeweiligen Satz passende Worte enthalten sind.

"Schnell schreiben, schnell absenden, keine Zeit erst nochmal zu lesen - schnell, schnell, schnell!"

Macht mich kirre!

Yes, definitely; but it's useful to say the text has been autogenerated, so as not to produce more confidence on it than it deserves. It's possible for blind people to resort to AI for image descriptions, but it can be involved, depending on interfaces, and not everyone has easy access to them.

and my Thanksgiving Steam Deck hacking escapades screech to a halt when I discover that Konsole is entirely screen reader inaccessible, and the fact that I can't access the router here means I'm not finding the IP address to SSH in until I get back home. Ah well, almost got Slay the Spire/Say the Spire working too. Packaging all this up as an extensible script framework with setup/teardown scripts so it should be fairly easy to release and improve.

I am announcing zubr v0.3 public beta 🦬

What if the main thing your #FOSS project needed was that you work less on it?

I wrote up a few reasons to do so:

Curious to hear what you think of it :)

#foss

I don’t often participate in community discussions that involve debating issues because it causes my blood pressure to spike through the roof, and I feel like passing out and taking a nap. It’s so exhausting to me, and I have never been able to understand why. Maybe I’m just morbidly afraid of offending others?

(This is about technical communities. Not government politics.)

in reply to Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦

@kboyd I defended tabs many many years, with sword and shield. I had a very niche argument: I use a screen reader, and it's far easier to count tabs when you hear, say, "4 tabs", than "16 spaces". It's a tiny brain operation, but when it's on each line, it becomes annoying.
Now I crafted a correct sound schema and I'm done with the argument, go spaces, spaces rock! 😊

Anyone out there using an Android device as remote control? We'd need to find out if some of ours are still doing there jobs. At codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… we have

* a remove for Denon/Marantz receivers
* a programmable remote claiming to serve any TCP devices

and some other apps in need of a check-up. Who can help us there?

#izzyOnDroid #serviceToot #followerPower :boost_love:

In the recent days, I had a great communication with @IzzyOnDroid. Definitely he is a nice guy but I want to focus on something else.
I've been working remotely for about 7 years. In small teams, remote work often lacks sufficient communication, which affects me both mentally and technically.
Now our communication is like a colleague, focused on a specific goal while also being friendly and fun, helping me recover a little bit.

Take communication and relationships serious guys.

in reply to Mohammad Rafigh - Tech

🤗 🥰 Thanks so much, Mohammad! Have to say I enjoyed it as much – and still am! I love working "on eye level" – and with you, it definitely feels like that.
And that way, we both learn(ed) a lot of new things: no cul-de-sac, no one-way street. To me, it felt (and feels, we're still on it, right?) like a fruitful exchange, like working with a comrade towards a shared goal, which we will reach! And having fun on the way – even with ideas that fail, like that "little shell script" 🤣
