I find myself reaching out for #MutualAid once again. I thought I had 11 days to renew my phone number for the month, but I only have 9. I have to pay £9.49 by January 26th. Please support me with whatever you can!
If you use screenreaders and haven't already, please consider filling out WebAIM's tenth screenreader user survey! Responses are due by the end of the month. #accessibility #a11y webaim.org/projects/screenread…
Welcome to the Old Phone Preservation digipress.club account!
If posts about all sorts of retro phone goodies interest you, then you're in luck!

@utopiArte the image bbcode looks wrong to me. Maybe edit the post, insert another image below, from the photo browser.. then you can see how it must look. You can edit the photo before (the one which you then add) and add a description. Then you would also see where the alt text must be.
The diaspora post above is the result of a lengthy conversation on diaspora about how to implement the altText help for the visually impaired over there: pod.geraspora.de/posts/cd1d8e7…
In other words, this is how diaspora implements alt text and I guess this is something friendica in any case has to implement in his code for communication with diaspora, actually in both directions. As this in any case will be added/implemented to the future code of diaspora, for those who are not going tu upgrade 2023.05 I guess there are some files somewhere where this will have to be changed in the existing installation, hence the text:
In other words, to be visible on firendica I'll have to use the brakets that Diaspora uses for text that is displayed if the image dosen't show up and there for post the text two times: 🤔 
The first text is the text that screenreaders are using. So for accessibility reasons the first one has to be set. The second text is just decoration. it is not needed for accessibility.

Are the calendars for older releases going to be archived somewhere? Asking because this was useful in the past, e.g. for looking up exact release dates.

"Summary: A new study reveals that SARS-CoV-2 can infect dopamine neurons, potentially linking to long COVID symptoms like brain fog and depression. The research shows that these neurons enter a state of senescence, ceasing to function and causing inflammation. This discovery was unexpected, as the study initially aimed to understand how different cell types respond to the virus, but found this unique pathway only in dopamine neurons."
"Surprisingly, they found that a small percentage of dopamine neurons exposed to SARS-CoV-2 were infected, approximately five percent. 'The infection rate of dopamine neurons isn’t as high as lung cells, the virus’s main target, but even a small population of infected cells can potentially have a severe effect,' said Dr. Chen."

We're proud to bring you the Creative Freedom Summit as a free virtual conference hosted entirely with **open source software**!
The talks are hosted on Jitsi, piped into @element where we also use a @matrix room for live chat, and also streamed live on @peertube where they will be immediately available for viewing after the event. Pretty cool!

Šéfka poslaneckého klubu ANO Alena Schillerová podpořila kandidaturu Jany Nagyové do Evropského parlamentu. Ocenila její znalosti v otázce evropských fondů, kvůli kterým ale exmanažerka skupiny Agrofert musí za pár týdnů k soudu.

A new preprint from Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Shagun Jhaver, Jordi Cluet i Martinell, Marie Reignier-Tayar, and Robert West reveals the results of a first-of-a-kind “longitudinal, quasi-experimental study of 165 deplatforming events targeted at 101 influencers.” It finds that deplatforming works in reducing overall online attention paid to norm-violating figures. techpolicy.press/deplatforming…
@thunderbird Really love the direction Thunderbird is going! Great work! ❤️ Any chance there's a way to finish sending in the background? Found support.mozilla.org/en-US/ques… but I cannot find the Preferences/General/Indexing/Config file referenced.
(Now realizing, that is probably on Linux and I am on MacOS?)
Thanks for the vote of confidence in the future of Thunderbird!
And we checked in with the team and this is the most up-to-date info on that feature - wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/T…. Be sure to read the caveats, and if you would like to try this, go to Settings > General > Config Editor (at the very bottom of the page) > (Search for SendInBackground). Thanks for reaching out and let us know if there's anything else we can do!
Camembert is an endangered species! It relies on a mold that had lost the ability to reproduce sexually... and now, thanks to inbreeding, this mold has also lost the ability to reproduce using spores. Roquefort is also in trouble, but for Camembert it's worse:
"The world over, this other symbol of French gastronomy is inoculated exclusively with one single strain of Penicillium camemberti, a white mutant that was selected for Brie cheeses in 1898 and Camemberts in 1902.
The problem is that ever since then the strain has been replicated by vegetative propagation only. Until the 1950s, Camemberts still had grey, green or in some cases orange-tinged moulds on their surface. But the industry was not fond of these colours, considering them unappealing, and staked everything on the albino strain of P. camemberti, which is completely white and moreover has a silky texture. This is how Camembert acquired its now-characteristic pure white rind.
Year after year, generation after generation, the albino strain of P. camemberti, which was already incapable of sexual reproduction, lost its ability to produce asexual spores. As a result it is now very difficult for the entire industry to obtain enough P. camemberti spores to inoculate their production of the famous Norman cheese.
Worse still, while the Roquefort PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) standard retains a degree of microbial biodiversity, the PDO specifications for Camembert require farmers and other producers to use P. camemberti exclusively."
What to do about it? Switch to eating American cheese, or Velveeta? Read on....

If you are looking to keep your inbox organized then using inbox rules is essential. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating inbox rules to automatically sort your emails into specific folders.
That is not an explanation, that is just a video. I do not watch videos, I read documents and do research. I analyzed data and do statistical analysis. Videos do not lend themselves well to someone who works in the written word all day.
Thanks, just tried that, it works well. But only for unread emails. it would be good to have a quick way to bring lots of old emails over to folders. I guess it's best to create folder rules early on.
